Russ was never going to contact Viatron's counsel to confer with them. He expects the court to arrange something where Viatron is told that they have to pay Russ $200,000 without him having to do anything. That may seem absurd, but this is the same Russell Greer who acts as though Hardin is supposed to be a neutral third party that actually just does whatever Russ says despite it not working that way at all for the past several years of the Greer v. Moon lawsuit. Bizarrely, Russ will be just as flabbergasted this time when reality doesn't conform to the hero narrative he constructed in his head and got two AI chatbots to agree was correct.
Has Greer even given any indication that he's aware that Hardin is opposing counsel in this case? It could just be a case of him not having as much time to pop off at mouth and pen LLM due to being homeless and having to live out of his car or trying to juggle three different lawsuits at once, but he's flown off the handle over far less in the past. He may have been ignoring Viatron's previous counsel just like he ignores Hardin for weeks or months at a time. One never knows with Russ until he has a tantrum and plight dumps everything onto the docket.
