$250k x2 just to send a virtue message seems dumb, even for them.
The sad part is I don't know if it's too dumb.
But like @Stoneheart said, believe and verify. Let's see some lulzy papers before laughing.

Nick has said there is something in place that theoretically gives them until midnight to unfuck themselves. Will update when I know more.

Well Nick did mention that there's a chance that the judge won't award default judgment in a case like this even if possible but it's certainly not a good look.
Also @Spectre_06 beat me to it.

Real talk guys: what if the defendants in this lawsuit plus other possible guilty parties (potential future defendants) are organizing behind the scenes and deciding to just bite the bullet and pay for the first round all together and in this way get to not be deposed so that no extra ammo is going public to help shoot other people with? I can see so many holes in this plan but still, I'm struggling to come up with anything else at all.
Either way Casey is not going to be taken seriously from here onwards by the judge even if they do. That is, if the judge didn't assume he was a lolcow already at this point.
Maybe if he comes up with a real disaster dog ate my homework, but even then the judge would have to ask himself how come he wasn't noticed in advance, gotten someone else to do it or had it done before the deadline.

That was my thinking too. Judges usually don't like to decide a case on a clerical error.
Buuuuut, dude has been filing frivilous motions that probably piss off the Hon. Judge. So I remain cautiously
.Worst case scenario, Cucksey has run out of fuck-ups.

Once it can be confirmed that they completely missed the deadline, and Casey ran away with the money.

And how much can MoRon sue him for if he lost their suit by... not even fucking filing it.
Even if they do get it in under some fudged deadline, it's going to be rushed and they obviously have no strategy.

Speaking of which, didn't something similar happen in the Maddox case and LanDUI successfully begged for an extension after missing a deadline?

Don't do that, you are liable to be disappointed. This isn't a full trial. They will probably have a back and forth with the judge for 10 minutes before the judge tells them to leave so he can write his decision. There is also a chance MoRon will file their TCPA in which case the hearing won't happen at all.

All Casey could do is try to make it a shame campaign and hope Vic would cave in and either settle quietly being pillared under a stay from a TCPA motion and Caseys threat. But should this go forward (I've heard some news of a major change of news) But should this go default for VIc, they are not exactly off the hook, they can be drawn in for the case against Funi or Marchi since they have supported each other. I forsee a pain train a coming
They can file TCPA but guess what, 400+ tweets and the most beautiful being Marchi's screaming for his head shows absolute malice, TCPA folded, stuck in a box and sent to timbuctoo. Thank you red headed numbskull for poisoning your side.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict there will be no permanent default judgment even if Super Lawyer ate some kryptonite for breakfast and failed to file an answer on time. It will be set aside for some bullshit good cause reason or otherwise.
However, in an actual default judgment, the plaintiff still has to prove damages, so it would go straight into a damages phase with what is called a prove up hearing on what those damages are. The evidentiary standard is lower.
It's entirely possible for a party to default on the case itself, for whatever reason, and still show up at the prove up to contest the amount.
It doesn't just mean you instantly get whatever 80 gorillion dollars you were suing for.
When all of this is confirmed to be true and there isn't some interpretation of the rules that just came down that would actually make the deadline next Monday or whatever.
Even if he missed the deadline and the default gets set aside (the most likely outcome imo), it would be really fucking embarrassing and absolute clownshoes, from a litigant who I am sure has already pissed off the judge with chickenshit discovery shenanigans before the case even started.

That would be an incredibly stupid thing to do. Because even if they lose by defaulting, they still get dragged into deposition for the damages phase of the trial.

As I understand it Since this is four separate suits in essence it means for those two (If there is a default) then the other two are qued on their own merits, but the beauty of this is they are weaved, in writing, intertwined to one another which if I am not mistaken (Which I could be) Mo-Ron could still be compelled to depose or be called as witness (If it goes there) for the Marchi suit and Ron of course in the Funi suit. Now I am no lawyer, I only play one online.

In order: That would be really stupid, because MoRon are still key witnesses in the case against the other defendants which means they will be deposed even if they intentionally lose their case... that said, they're really stupid, so who knows. No, I'm pretty certain that it wouldn't be ethical for a lawyer to intentionally sabotage a client's case just to get rid of the client. Who knows what the fuck is even happening. And yes, I do think it's reasonably possible that the response could have been filed and just hasn't showed up in the filing system yet.
And with defamation per se, he doesn't even have to prove any damages. I mean, they falsely called him a rapist and child molester. It's up to the court to try to put a price tag on that; good luck to anyone who's trying to argue that it's too high.

Just created this account. Anyways, to this point, Vic didn't file separate suits. None of the defendants filed for a motion of severance, therefore, I think that ALL of them (Mo-Ron, Marchi and Funi) just defaulted. Funi, I am sure just wants this to go away, but the soy in their voice actors are keeping it going.
But as you said, I am no lawyer, I only play one online.

Casey can easily say "my clients are retarded and didn't give me necessary info in a timely fashion because they were on twitter continuing to defame the opposing party" and I think everyone would all believe it...it's just a matter of if a judge would care even if they believed.
