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

[mindlessobserver]

Sounds like a term we should put some more investigation time into.... wait..

Maybe they could get Tammy Denbow to look into it

Casey getting sued for Malpractice and going on Nick's stream would be the ultimate spin-off to this whole thing. Hell I'd take the Furor coming on to talk about. They both must have a lot to say about the whole thing.

Something about Fuhrer Lemonparty makes me think he's the kind of guy that would still be on MoRon's side even if he wasn't their attorney.

Nah. Lets not forget that ultimately these lawyers are doing the job they are (allegedly) being paid to do. Which is represent a pack of idiots who may or may not be telling them the candid truth.

 

[ES 195]

Good thing he's not woke like the other guys, but has he got something to do with the case?

He's supposedly the guy who knocked on the door and saved Monica from her forced dicking.
He's said on twitter he has no recollection of the event.

 

[RodgerDodger]

do you really not believe that they'd be so stupid as to name someone that they'd just assume would lie for them?

Monica’s entire MO is the assumption that nobody will ever fact check or verify anything she says. So yes she is that stupid.

but I also wonder if Ron and Monica will try to file a complaint against him or even outright sue him after they get fucking wrecked, in which case I suspect he would be able to far more forthcoming with details, or at least they would show up in court documents.

You wonder? I think we can be fairly certain that Ron will file an ethics complaint against every lawyer involved.

Hah! Fun fact. Suing your lawyer effectively dissolves attorney client privilege. That rule exists because lawyers are not in general morons.

No it doesn't. Only for the purposes of that lawsuit. And even there, the former client could insist the proceedings be sealed to the extent they touch on privileged material. Your ex-attorney who fucked you over with his malpractice doesn't get a free license to get revenge on you by fucking you over for seeking redress.

Ah, thank you for correcting me on that. I thought they had sufficient freedom to defend themselves from being fucked over by their often psychotic and ungrateful clients who didn’t like acless than ideal outcome.

 

[indianshedevil]

Were you not paying attention? He was mentioned in Funimation's TCPA and the documents filed by MoRon.
Dahlin was completely unaware he was listed as a witness to Rial's allegation. In his tweets, he seemed to be conveying that Monica's account might not be totally accurate. Also, BHBH seems to have just got his affidavit.

He's supposed to be the guy who knocked on the door and saved Monica from her forced dicking.

Thanks a lot. I'll start hoping they go sinking like a huge ass ship when they'll lose everything and get bankrupted.

I'm not forgetting that. Casey I think definitely hates his clients by now, but is still obligated to serve them. Jdolf Shitler on the other hand strikes me as the exact type of beta o rourke supporting faggot that would be on MoRon's side no matter what.

I don't know, Furor let out some pretty dejected sighs while asking and receiving those text questions. Call me but it's hard to believe he'd make himself out to be such a fool unwillingly or by accident. One of his job requirements is asking the right questions and getting the right answers, all he was doing is wasting time and he seemed to be aware of it. MoRon would have flipped their shit if he didn't use up all the deposition time so he bit the bullet for the bucks. I hope his kids appreciate it.

 

[Far Queue]

If only there were some kind of procedure a company could do internally to figure out facts about things. Surely there must be such a thing. I wonder what it would be called.

Hmmm.

If they could do that, they wouldn't be in this position to begin with.

Good thing he's not woke like the other guys, but has he got something to do with the case?

He was named by Ron and Monica in one of their filings as well as Monica's deposition as the person who would have witnessed the alleged sexual assault that Monica is claiming Vic committed back in 2007. However, he popped up a few weeks ago saying that he was surprised to find his name in court documents.

This meant that neither Monica or Funimation actually spoke to him at all. He's been making Coy remarks on Twitter that don't really say anything about what he saw, so people were speculating whether his affidavit would be at all helpful to Vic or if he's just another part of the conspiracy against Vic.

Those tweets strongly suggest that unlike all of the defendants and most of their lickspittle lackeys, Dahlin isn't trying to impress everyone with his wokeness or even particularly down with progressive politics in general. Also the fact that Nick has the affidavit early should be enough of a giveaway, but if there were any doubt about whether he's on Monica's side or not, this should dispel that notion pretty quickly.

 

[Jub-Jub]

Just as an aside, I cannot imagine Funimation is happy right now with the MoRons. Their absolutely determined effort to get Vic into Deposition prior to the filing of the TCPA motions has meant BHBH can bring up Sabat, Monicas internal emails and all the rest in their count to Funi's effort to get out of this without having to comply with the discovery demands and actually fight the accusations. That entire deposition debacle was brutal because both Ron and Monica claimed authoritatively that it was FUNIMATION who provided the necessary information with which they based their actions. The "investigation".

Funimation can still throw them under the bus later, but at this point its gonna be tough for them to get out of this on a procedural motion designed to prevent frivolous lawsuits. And the worst part? Those depositions were completely unnecessary. They did not have to happen. Everyone could have just filed their initial responses with general defenses and then filed the TCPA the next day. But nooooo. Monica and Ron just had to get Vic under oath and make him squirm. For reasons.

Only explanation I have is they flat out lied to their attorneys and convinced them they could get that sweet GoFundMe money.

I'm starting to have a big thunk as to why Funi allowed these depositions to occur and didn't TCPA this shit immediately. We know that team MoRonica's plan was to depose Vic, gain something to help their case, file TCPA, continue the slander during the discovery stay and cross their fingers. Because they have nothing. As far as i can tell Funimation hasn't really achieved anything from allowing the depositions and may have actually damaged their case instead. I think Volney has been brought in and found himself in the same boat as MoRonica, up shit creek and without a paddle. That they haven't produced any paperwork or records of the investigation makes me also think that they have nothing and also hoped that Vic would fuck up.

Volney's 'burning bridges' question was interesting and gives me two thoughts. 1 to isolate Vic and make other VA's not want to be around him for work or conventions (he named names) and 2 know exactly who to blame and which heads need to roll.

 

[AlexJonesGotMePregnant]

I think Volney's strategy is mostly your proposed #2. Vic's deposition made it really clear that further isolation would be a wasted effort since Vic- being the nice guy that he is- would never have gotten to this point unless he already felt completely isolated. I'm guessing Funi's strategy is going to be:

1. blame everything on individuals who aren't currently recognized as employees
2. bury anything that could possibly challenge the status of #1

 

[Far Queue]

No it doesn't. Only for the purposes of that lawsuit. And even there, the former client could insist the proceedings be sealed to the extent they touch on privileged material. Your ex-attorney who fucked you over with his malpractice doesn't get a free license to get revenge on you by fucking you over for seeking redress.

Could the attorney fight that if they were able to argue and present convincing facts that the claims of their former client were utterly baseless and the mere allegations would hurt their own reputation and business unless dispelled? Basically, my ex-clients who defamed a guy and tried to ruin his career also tried to defame me and ruin my career.

I agree with your assessment. I can only also think that he was getting confirmation from Vic of the bad actors because at this point i wouldn't believe that these idiots haven't been organising through internal company emails and Volney should have those.

 

[Markorian]

So correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming the discovery MoRon STILL haven't produced is going to play into the TCPA hearing. If they filed this before their deadline, that would be one thing, but I can't imagine that Ty isn't going to at least fight on this point.

Not generally. Just the fact they win should be enough. If you retaliated against a client for filing a complaint or suing you, you'd turn a lawsuit into a disciplinary proceeding and probably disbarment. Who would trust a lawyer who might get mad and divulge their clients' confidences? That would do more to damage your reputation than anything from a disgruntled client.

It would be different if it just naturally comes out in the course of discovery through no fault of your own, though.

 

[repentance]

As far as i can tell Funimation hasn't really achieved anything from allowing the depositions and may have actually damaged their case instead.

Funi didn't really "allow" the depositions, though. There's never been any clarity on whether or not a TCPA by one defendant stays discovery for all defendants. There's still no clarity on that.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming the discovery MoRon STILL haven't produced is going to play into the TCPA hearing. If they filed this before their deadline, that would be one thing, but I can't imagine that Ty isn't going to at least fight on this point.

I expect that the hearing on Monica and Ron's TCPA will be soon enough that it's not going to matter and that Ty will file for special exceptions to get access to what they should already have handed over.

Special exceptions are what Monica and Ron have filed. It's an attack on the sufficiency of the complaint. Ty can't file such a thing because the defendants have no complaint.

 

[Nontransferable]

It's probably mostly deposition transcripts. Hopefully it's all of them and underacted (at least to the maximum extent possible) because it's a pain to have to scrub through Nick's streams to try to find some information.
