They just played out the defendants like a bunch of cats with a laser pointer.
A huge tribute must be paid to the BHBH. Nick Rekieta is very clever, but here you can see a huge amount of experience.
Compared to the strategy Nick proposed in the beginning, it's a whole new level.
1) They only appointed those who screamed loudest as defendants, and apparently TCPA is already in their pocket.
2) They played coy and allowed lawyers and supporters of the defendants to mock their firm and their incompetence, while quietly solving all their problems. And Vic's reputation suddenly began to recover rapidly.
3) Even at this stage, Vick's support group grew, became stronger, and a lot of people changed their minds.
4) 2-3 days before the deadline, there was a leak about Ron, and everyone thought it was the main weapon, and they were already rubbing their hands as they would masterfully defeat it.
5) One day before the deadline, the media leaked the porno-audio from Funimation and everyone thought it was a bomb.
6) Immediately after the deadline, they did reveal the cards. And it turned out that the previous one was just a warm-up. And that the defendants behaved exactly as the plaintiff needed. And the future defendants (Sabat and Shimel) did not do anything all this time, and now they are screwed.
7) This whole 3-day artillery information campaign is just a masterpiece. Even if it was partly by coincidence.
I think Lemoine already has a lot less desire to joke about the "master of strategies". Because this is a strategy played at the God level.
