Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

[Far Queue]

Considering it's a red county in Texas, even a video of Vic not holding a door open for a lady could be potentially damning.

And they don't even have that.

I remember someone posted a somewhat recent video of Vic at a Q&A at some convention where someone asked about him moving back to Texas and he said it was because he really didn't like California. They should play that to the jury and the trial will be all but over.

 

[Reverend]

Surely after the "hundreds" of accounts about Vic started coming out of the anime/con circuit someone from his past as a police officer or teacher would have come forward by now. Weinstein, Cosby and Epstein have accusers that go back decades, wouldn't Vic if he were some kind of serial rapist?

I mean all those people that RonRon vetted on PULL should at least get them started whittling down all the survivors that are still alive after Vic's rampant rampage of raping AMIRITE!??!

Put on a Texas state flag tie & pin a bluebonnet in his lapel in court. Does he have any hideous Texas themed pants suitable for court?

Just a thought on the Depos, something I don't think has been brought up.

Casey's constant objections, (as well as improper injections) and Ty calling them out, as opposed to how Ty objects which is relatively understated and doesn't come off, really affects how you see the client.

Casey looks like he's trying to keep Soye from saying something retarded, as well as Soye's incredibly obvious deposition plan of 'looks like it' and 'VIC ASSAULTED MONICA RIAL' as his only two plays, where Vic looks honest and Ty looks to just be doing proper lawyering.

 

[Not A Bug]

Unless Lemonparty's voice is just really really similar to the villain of a Sony owned property and it thought Rekieta was streaming a film or game,

Hmmm. Who owns The Tick. Lemoine sounds an awful like The Terror. Well to be fair, he just sounds awful.

 

[Beavis]

Finally gotten through all the depositions. Jesus christ what a dumpster fire this one is. Compare this to the other case that is fairly similar, between Meyer and Mark Waid. We are not seeing any drama coming out of that even though Waid is a humongous sperg and Meyer is always on the youtube. I cant for the life of me believe all these lawyers decided together this is a good idea. It has to be Monica and Ron frothing at the mouth to slag Vic that cause this debacle. It's also likely they flat out lied to their attorneys about how solid their claims were and by the time they figured out how stupid their clients were they had already committed to the legal strategy and there was no going back.

Keep in mind now. Casey Eric fought to have these depositions public and WON. Ty wanted a confidentiality agreement. So now the depositions are public and oh how glorious it is. Nick was completely wrong about this slowing down. But then he mistakenly assumed once the idiots lawyered up their counsel would not be as dumb as their clients.

The super lawyer trio thought they were going to get their hands on the GFM money.

Imagine if none of these dummies thought to contact gofundme first to have them walk through the process of setting up a fundraiser going to an iolta account?

Better to just listen to your exceptional clients who told you it’s all a scam.

 

[Facts Over Feels]

Only thing I can think of is that he still has hope of the TCPA. Notice he's not been doing any of the work lately, everything is in Lemonheads name. Maybe is his hoping he will be paid if they win TCPA.

Winning a TCPA is literally the only hope that any of them will be getting paid at this point.

I think you are on to something here. I bet that none of them ever thought to ask gofundme what the process is for setting up to deposit in an IOLTA account.

They didn't even bother to see how Gofundme works in general. Like for example they aren't holding the money like a bank, Nick couldn't have had access to it, or that it goes right to Vic's legal team. They didn't do the most basic research on it.

 

[AnOminous]

All of these clowns after hearing about the GFM are more like the Beagle Boys concocting ever more bizarre and elaborate schemes to steal Scrooge McDuck's money.

Nah, that's referring to involuntary servitude, which does have some differences. People still call prison labor slavery anyways, and to be fair the South did use black criminals as pseudo-slaves for ages in the early 20th century.

It's not often addressed, but by standard canons of Constitutional construction, a phrase such as "slavery or involuntary servitude," followed by a limiting phrase after a comma, would refer both to slavery and involuntary servitude and thus, yes, the Thirteenth Amendment explicitly allows slavery as a punishment for a crime by a strict textualist view.

Therefore, a strict textualist would be forced to recognize the constitutionality of a statute purporting to inflict slavery as a punishment for a crime, so long as there was due process in the trial and sentencing.

I hope everyone noted the moments, when they started asking Vic about the “victims” where Lemonhead attempted to once again sneak in Casey’s magical “putting everything about accusers “under seal”. And how quickly Ty corrected him to name and personal identifying info only! Yeah that wasn’t a casual mistake or misstatement. He really is a scumbag.

I found Lemonhead’s constant screeching of “Objection Unresponsive!” Everytime he got a straightforward answer that wasn’t what he wanted to be more than a tad out of bounds. I think Vic was starting to fuck with him after awhile. I could swear that there was a point where Lemonhead shrieked our a Yes or No accusatory question and objected when Vic answered no.

I’ve been deposed a lot. Now granted it was part of my job, so I was well trained on how to answer at deposition, but I don’t recall ever seeing an opposing attorney do or behave like that. He’s setting up objection broad challenges to his own freaking questions? Dude!

People forget, but the traditional prison sentence was to “Hard Labor”.

Gonna remind everyone the archive in the weeb wars OP of the Pull thread is unchanged at the moment I published it back in February. It's got all the joy, especially from Marzgurl.

Unlike Casey Erick, who seems more marginally competent at best and extremely out of his depth, the Lemon Man is basically a nasty version of Lionel Hutz.

His questions are clearly pointed, he's clearly trying to set up a rigged script he wants the the guy he's asking to follow, and he gets pissy when it isn't followed to his personal advantage.

And he's not very subtle about these intentions, and Vic clearly saw through his lame shell game crap and started fucking with him on purpose because he was fed up with the assbag's leading bullshit.

The goal of those questions wasn't to obtain admissible testimony, I'm convinced... it was to get excerpts for #LawTwitter.

Which is a short term dopamine hit for assholes that don't matter and a long term WTF for getting a case won.

Worse, it's reasonable to assume if you do a depo and can't find anything good to nail a guy down with then, good luck suddenly making a case to trial if you still have nothing good to win with.

 

[I can't imagine]

The goal of those questions wasn't to obtain admissible testimony, I'm convinced... it was to get excerpts for #LawTwitter.

I have a feeling it was designed so Vic's responses would look more evasive in transcript form, what with all the "objection: non-responsive" comments in there; nice little digestible bits to tweet out to make Vic look shady or some such. Most likely, they didn't expect Nick to show the video in quite as exhaustive a manner, making it clear that Lemon was objecting to pretty much everything.

I'd say it would also explain lawtwitter freaking out about Nick showing the video, though it seems as though Nick just has to breathe for them to start sperging out.

I can only assume they're relying on general ignorance about it to try to paint it to the jury as some nefarious harassment fund and Vic and his evil lawyer buddy Nick are using it to grind sexual assault victims into the ground? But it'd be pretty easy to explain that GFM control the funds, not Vic, Nick or Ty.

Which is quite frankly insane, stupid and short sighted of them. This is a new way fro Lawyers to get paid. This is a new way to enable ordinary people better access to the legal system... by paying the lawyers. This is a super new high tech mechanism to generate money for lawyers. Why the fuck are these shitheads bitching about this? It's something that benefits them and their clients. Heck using a system like this even Cuck Lightyear could actually arrange for his clients to possibly pay him. The only question these morons should be asking Nick and Ty about this is "how do we go about setting this up?" It sure as shit beats making Grandma mortgage her house in order to fund litigation.

But GFM doesn't have the funds, Ty does, or rather Vic does in an IOLTA account with BHBH. That gets pointed out the whole "scam" idea evaporates.
