he caught the Shane
To be quite frank, that's 7000 Euros more than Vic will get, even if he wins the 1 million dollar in damages from MoRon, it's unenforcable and in the end he gets jackshit.
Also do not forget Kachelmann made a comeback and is in present TV, Media again and doing quite well financially.
Vic? I highly doubt that Vic will ever work as a VA again, Rooster Teeth, Funi and so on are all part of the SJW mob, to think that anyone of these outlets will rehire him again, is naive at best.
And don't even think that MoRon will stop with their defamation, they most possibly won't do it themselves, that's the future job of shit heels like Shane and Marzgurl.
At the end of the day Vic has won a pyrrhic victory and still has lost a successful carreer.
The minimum damages set for this case is 1 million. If he wins, he'll likely get more than that if the work he lost can be appraised for that much.
The damages are also effectively enforceable by lien. Worst case scenario, Rial and co. walk around sippin' lien for potentially the rest of their lives. Funimation will have to pay those damages because they obviously can.
Vic also still retained work as a VA during this controversy (e.g. he still was voicing Rohan in DiU until they finished, weeks after the controversy broke). It's been said that the Los Angeles VA circuit is far less batshit insane than the Houston VA circuit (what a twist!), so while it's unclear in the meantime, it would seem his prospects to begin with aren't completely plugged up by these bad actors. To reiterate: there are more dubbing companies than Funimation.
Also, have you seen the lines that Vic has been drawing at cons despite the damage done to his career?
Should Vic win on the defamation charges (and given that they're inherent to the very cut-and-dry TI charges, it would at least appear that it's very likely that despite the general difficulty of a defamation case, because of how easy the opposition made it for him, he'd win), that would be a critical blow to Funimation's credibility. It'd certainly be a blow to Rial and Marchi's credibility, and they'd almost certainly be let loose by Funimation for being such a liability. That they'd be let loose by the company that issued the statement implying Vic was let go for substantiated harassment allegations (to say nothing of the retractions they'll likely be made to say) would be in effect to say that they'd been blowing smoke for months. This is by far the strongest way that Vic would be exonerated in the public eye.
Something that works in tandem with this, and could otherwise work independent of it should Vic lose the defamation charges, are the actual results of discovery. If the only reason that he loses the defamation charges is on technicality (i.e. the discovery results effectively exonerate him by means of showing that Rial and company were truly unable to substantiate their claims either at all or given the present evidence), then he's still largely exonerated.
What happens in discovery specifically, and what happens in court overall, are by themselves secondary to the effort of Vic's fanbase to bring these details to the public eye and openly show support for him, so that they can show these companies and cons that he's not the liability that an actual serial sexual harasser/assaulter would be, and that the people brigading against them are a true minority. That much has been expressed by Rackets and has been demonstrated with KC.
