That seems like an utterly stupid strategy. If they're resorting to blackmail, it probably means they don't have any case and are likely to lose.

So what happens at the end? When they lose, even after burning everyone? They're out of money, they're out of a reputation since they're liars and alarmists, and now they lose job prospects because they can't even be trusted. The people they try to burn are going to get reputation boosts since they helped an innocent man fight for his reputation and livelihood.

As for the second part... if they lose, how can they smear them as enablers if the shit they're claiming they enabled was revealed to be lies?

Considering Ron, Monica and Propaganda Minister Shane have been trying to spin this in a certain way as hard as they can maybe they think they can still get people to believe them no matter what the verdict is. Im not saying this is a smart idea, just that it has some logic behind it if thier main goal is to hurt as many people as possible.

So what if following the revealing of some information from discovery funimation or some other related party severs its contracts with or otherwise stops working with people who have given Ty info would there be any recourse?

Im not sure Funimation would be happy to hear that thier employees leaked info to Ty and thus possibly increased their liability.

While true, I think they'd be more pissed at the agents and vice principals using Funimation's name to act on their behalf.

I doubt Nick would ever get involved with something like the ADL. I do find this interesting:
Sam devotes about 50% of his practice to serving as outside general counsel for businesses ranging from startups to international companies. Sam assists numerous companies in transactional matters in which Sam takes potential litigation risks into account in order to reduce the number of lawsuits arising out of certain business relationships. For anything ranging from contract review and negotation, to mergers and acquisitions, to negotiating with government entities, Sam brings a business-minded approach to his advocacy. The remaining 50% of his practice involves litigating select cases in which Sam has agreed to participate, usually only for his existing business clients.

Sam might not be some guy she just picked out of the phonebook after being unable to dodge service any longer. It does activate the old almonds a bit if she if she already had a relationship with the guy and chose not let him know how much of a dumb cunt she was being until it was absolutely necessary.

It does IMO seem unlikely that she'd go from first meeting a lawyer (after being served) to having him file an answer document in under a week - lawyers normally have multiple clients and other things going on so simply on an availability point that sounds weird to me.

So it seems probable that she had a prior relationship with him, either on a regular basis, perhaps she's needed help with contracts before? OR maybe he'd helped with some one off thing previously so she went back to him again.

Another thing that IMO seems probable to me is that she gave the lawyer a copy of the lawsuit ages ago whilst avoiding being served either a) to buy time OR b) because she really was away from home for a month.

That aside this speculation adds nothing of significance to the whole case - other than giving the possibility that Jamie isn't as stupid offline as she seems to act on twitter.

It's not that outlandish. Even presuming an ordinarily busy attorney, it still shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to bang out a first answer. This obviously assumes that the client has told you everything important about what happened and you have at least some idea how things operate in that particular legal region.

This may be a bit optimistic, but what do you think the odds are of Jamie being scheduled for her deposition in the time between Vic's and Moronica's depositions?

Not likely. Ignoring any potential scheduling conflicts, I think its safe to say that the other defendant parties are treating Moronica as the canary in the mine. Gauging how much dirt Ty currently has and whether its a good idea to fight it.

Theres no reason that Marchi wouldnt be in the lawsuit if they didnt have something good on her. I suspect she and her lawyer are gonna be surprised at what they have during the depositions.


You happen to have a copy of that article? That sounds funny as shit


So only partially exceptional. An autist if you will.


@AnOminous @RodgerDodger Whats the likelyhood of Casey not wanting confidentiality so he can expose who was giving Ty info to use against them? What if thier strategy is to go scorched earth to ruin everyone involved in this case?

They could easily go after anyone involved whether it be the con owners or employees at Funimation and smear them as enablers and defenders of a sexual predator. That would also have an added effect of increasing Funimations liability. Nick said he has sources in Funimation. So may Ty.

Their lawyer would never be onboard for it for one thing. Petty assed vengeance is not in the clients interest, even if they want it. Besides which all of that will come out in discovery. No the reason for opposing discovery confidentiality is patently obvious. They planned on continuing the public defamation, using the deposition materials. The Judge did in fact pick right up on that. “Is your client still tweeting?” That was a bit more subtle than the Judge extracting Casey’s promise not to file the TCPA until all parties were deposed. But it is a similar hammering. It was the Judge communicating to Casey that “the defamation stops NOW!”

He's either so big-brained that every single one of his decisions has several depths of ramifications that make sense for the case (from ignoring the actual content of Casey's motion to the location of depositions to not issuing an order on TCPA and more) or he's got such a strong sense for his job that he just knows exactly what to do, instinctively, every time.

While one of these two is probably true, it would be funnier if it was actually option #3 - he's been watching the streams Rackets does and is a regular poster in this thread.

Maybe she has a prior relation with the guy, but that quote is just an ad. Take out all the marketing buzz and you get 'does contracts and litigation'

So I've just finished catching up to Nick's last stream and I've got to say that, even if we haven't actually heard much about him, I'm fairly impressed by the judge in this case. He's either so big-brained that every single one of his decisions has several depths of ramifications that make sense for the case (from ignoring the actual content of Casey's motion to the location of depositions to not issuing an order on TCPA and more) or he's got such a strong sense for his job that he just knows exactly what to do, instinctively, every time.

I suspect he can't issue a valid order forcing a party not to file a TCPA motion, since the rules allow them to do it. Without a valid, signed Rule 11 agreement, or possibly, an oral agreement made in court (and what actually happened in court may or may not constitute such an agreement), he can't really stop them.

Even with an agreement, it might not be possible, although there might be penalties for reneging on an agreement.

RULE 11. AGREEMENTS TO BE IN WRITING Unless otherwise provided in these rules, no agreement between attorneys or parties touching anysuit pending will beenforced unless it be in writing, signed and filed with the papers as part of the record, or unless it be made in open court and entered of record.

It's the second part that I wonder about.

Can Ty ask Casey to sign an agreement to not file a TCPA unto after all the depositions? He agreed not to in court but I can see MoRon pressuring him to do it anyways after Vic is deposed.

That's what he did in the first place and Casey refused which is why they ended up having this motion hearing.

I could be wrong but I have a feeling it won't go well for Casey if he files the motion after having told the judge he won't.

Remember what happened to Gawker? The judge slapped an injunction on them telling them to take down the video and they did a bratty "you're not the boss of me" thing and kept it up. They later won a ruling that the injunction was unconstitutional (incidentally if you violate it while it is still in force you are still in contempt of court).

That judge made sure they were thoroughly ass raped.

Honestly, I think it was abject incompetence of their lawyers not to try to get the judge recused because she openly and vociferously hated everyone on their side and made no secret of it, while ruling against them on virtually everything. It's a complete mystery to me why they didn't even try. Maybe just pure arrogance, or they thought a jury would somehow side with their asshole behavior and snarky city boy shit.

I know Casey has made some scummy moves, but is he really dumb enough to risk pissing off a judge by lying to his face for the sake of some spergs who can't stop tweeting? I know I wouldn't take those odds if I were him.

I sure hope so. He might be doing some of the shit he's doing to create the impression he's a madman who could do anything at any time, as some kind of 18 dimensional air hockey, but not actually be that dumb.
