I listened to the entire 50-minute podcast. Discussion of the lawsuit itself amounted to a scant few minutes. It started with a eulogy for all the chuds Greg owned in the Threadnaught. After a brief introduction, they then play a game where the hosts name three frivolous lawsuits and Greg has to guess which one succeeded. At the end of each round, they break for a commercial, which are parodies of Ty and Nick. At the 30-minute mark, they talk very briefly about the TDMA letters that were sent out. The hosts mention how Greg is their biggest "get" with 30,000 followers. Their previous high score was Renfamous at 9,000 followers. The hosts explain Gamergate to him, then Comicsgate, then discuss his failed senate run.



^ That is the reality of the situation and this is the fantasy these people live in, where a man's twitter addiction is some sort of accomplishment.

So Greg apparently wanted to give more exposure to his "coverage" of Vic's lawsuit and thought guesting on a podcast about it was a good idea:

Episode 34: (interview) Torturous Interference and Actually Malicious Feat: Greg Doucette - The Violet Wanderers

It's a special treat today, as we have lawyer Greg Doucette with us. You might know him as the man responsible for the Threadnaught, the currently 1,300+ post long thread wherein he destroys anime chuds who try and defend their creepy avatar, Vic ...

I listened to the first 10 minutes - and that is 10 minutes of my life I won't get back - there was nothing of value.

These does literally show how much of a complete douchebag Douchette is.

 

[Wilhelm Bittrich]

wait he's a lawyer running his own practice and the business made no more than 30.5k/year two years in a row? Is he charging $15/hour???

Well, if you represent your clients while mostly doing it pro bono, what do you expect?
Pro bono is donating legal services for the public good. In essence, pro bono is legal charity. It doesn't make you any money.
Greg obviously missed the memo.
It seems the man is even too stupid to get the simple fact that successful lawyers only do pro bono because they can afford it to do so.

All we know so far is that he does tons of pro bono work and then he has to file for Chapter 13. Who'd have thought.
But that Twatter points pretty sure are payin' your rent, aren't they, Greg? Greg?

Four years for his computer science degree. Three? years for law school. 38 years old. 300+k in debt. Lives in an apartment.

Makes <30k/year.

1. Attend a trade school
2. Become a craftsman
3. ???
4. Profit
Bonus: 4a. Laugh at 30k a year and people like Douchenozzle.
Be a employed craftsman without the danger of unemployment or become a jobless Oberlin jerk, your decision, kids.

 

[CountSarmale]

Does he seriously have a 1.3K tweet long twitter thread on just Vic?

He has way more than 1.3K.
He had 146.1K when he first started tweeting about the TDMA letters and has 149.3K right now, after talking nonstop about Vic's case for the past 12 days.
Maybe they meant 3.1K.

Who needs a 401k when you can have that numbers on Twatter? - Greg The Douchenozzle, possibly.

...But we've only known about him for like two weeks. Is he at least getting paid by the tweet?

That's even worse. How shitty of a lawyer do you have to be to spend this much free time on twitter? It took Nick five months to put out roughly that many tweets

All the twitter followers in the world aren't going to help with his gun in the mouth levels of debt. I look forward to reading about this guy an heroing in the years to come.

 

[MrYoloDickSwagger]

Pro Bono used mean helping destitute criminal defendants or helping at a legal clinic on weekends. Now it's just code for social justice warrior professional activism. So using the term gets him woke points on Twitter and podcast interviews with blue hairs but involves no real work. Probably also serves as a cool excuse when his girl comes home after a long day at work to find him in his underwear, tweeting.

Greg has no real clients and has zero experience in real commerical and defemation litigation. His answers on that podcast sound like a first year law students, someone that read a basic academic nutshell but has zero practical experience in the area (unlike say Ty Beard). That sort of autistic, broad advice with no real experience is among the worst legal counsel you can get. KickVic is better of with Shane and his wiki pages.

To be fair, at least 500 of those tweets were about his cats.

I said this in another thread, but I'm going to encourage my son to attend trade school. My cousin went to a technical college to study repairing diesel engines. He had several job offers as soon as he finished his training with minimum salaries of more than $50k/year.

How somebody makes this little with a law degree is baffling. You can have just a high school diploma, join a union and easily make twice that much within 2 years.

Well, it's either he is a bad lawyer or he really mostly just does pro bono work, which neither of them makes you any money.
IMHO, it's a combination of both with Twatter addiction as a sidedish.

Comparison:
15$/hr x 70 hrs/week = 1050 $/week
1050$/week x 4 = 4200 $/month
4200$ x 12 = 50400/year

He was either cooking the books or it is really like I wrote above.
IMHO, the 30k per years sounds really fishy.

Landau knew how to rack up bills better than this guy. Now admittedly, that is in New York, an expensive city, but surely a Superlawyer like Greg could price his fees a bit better. Nick's fees are cheap as shit, but that's because he has the podcast to help keep them low.

Pro bono is the sort of thing I expect Bar students to do to boost up their CVs or very wealthy lawyers doing a great public service/case of great public importance. Sandmann's case is pro bono IIRC. In bongland bar students can undergo a training course and do minor employment tribunal or social security disputes. Lawyers would be on hand pro bono to aid them in certain decision making/check to make sure they didn't seriously screw up. Otherwise it's all up to the students.

What this guy is doing running around playing Save-a-hoe Superlawyer at his own expense is a mystery to me.

I'm a criminal defense lawyer and have been practicing law for 5 years now. What the general public does not know is that unlike how tv shows portray things, 99% of us do not have high rise offices in bank buildings or drive around in fancy sports cars. Ever since the 2008 market crash, jobs in this field have been a lot harder to come by. Where I practice at, you actually have some people who have graduated near the top of their class competing tooth and nail just to get a job at the freaking public defender's office. These days, a "law degree" and five dollars will get you a cup of coffee at starbucks. Just because someone says "I'm a lawyer", that is not grounds to be impressed in this day and age. Fact is that we got way too many of them running around and that much less cases/jobs available as a result.

Thus, if you're a lawyer in this market and you're posting on twitter all day, you aren't getting cases. PERIOD. If I had the kind of free time greg had, I would immediately march down to the local courthouse and start asking every judge down there for court appointed cases. You don't make as much on those as you do on retained, but at least you're getting paid. Credibility wise, if I have to pick between a lawyer who is not posting on twitter all day and a lawyer who is, I'm going to go with the former 10/10. And that goes for the rest of the "lawyers" who have been flatulating hundreds of tweets for the past 10 days.

The user TGD on wolfweb is Greg. Same phone number and other members talk about him as such.

The post where he uses the phone that matches up to his lawfirm for proofs.

He actually brings in much less than the Ambulance EMT’s he’s chasing. He’s not even pulling in minimum wage. And yeah it’s real easy to make that little with a Law Degree. Be a complete shit tier lawyer. Attend a sub shit tier school. Have your finances in such a state that no firm could ever consider hiring you, thus meaning you have to hang out your own shingle and beg for business. And then be bad at it. I mean this dude has a CS degree and a Law Degree. He should in theory be quite desirable for a firm. Even if he’s a shit tier lawyer they still need someone skilled in both law and CS to run IT. It’s an easy 6 figure job. But no firm can touch him. He’s clearly a mental health challenged ideologue.

And look, as a litigant, the last thing you want is some no name hobo lawyer seeking to use you as a “test case” for their own political/legal crusade. That’s rarely in service to your interests.

Funny, porn producers already do this. They scout high school girls to recruit them into the biz. It's frowned upon but nobody really does anything about it.

Interesting. I didn't realize his gf was an MD. Or is she the other kind of Dr? You know, the kind who got their PHD in Gender Studies, but insist on being addressed by their honorific.

According to her FB she's an optometrist. An eye doctor. Don't know what someone like that would pull in within the USA, but it might be enough to subsidise his tweeting first cases later lifestyle.

Edit: Quick Google search for Optometrist earnings in the USA puts a range from anywhere between 50k to 190k. Average apparently around the 100k mark. If she's good, she could be the breadwinner of the relationship.

There's two ways of looking at what is going on with his pro bono work, but they aren't incompatible. One is that it's about ego; he's a narcissist, which is why he ran for office and why he interposed himself in the #KickVic controversy to acquire narcissistic supply. Successful lawyers do pro bono, therefore he does too. The second way of looking at it is to note that he's done fundraising for his "pro bono" cases and the whole thing is actually a scam to hide money from creditors.

All pro bono means in effect is you aren't charging fees. You can still fundraise for costs, and in civil rights cases, move for fees if you win. As an example of the shit that constitutes "pro bono" work, Chelsea van Valkenburg has white shoe firm Wilmher Hale do "pro bono" work in her revenge lawsuit against her abused ex Eron Gjoni, unconstitutionally silencing him and violating his First Amendment rights, then running away and dropping the suit immediately when it was appealed.

This is more anti bono than pro bono.
