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

[Done]

If this logic really worked, then every time a killer calls a client, the killer would be released and the case would be closed.

This is a civil court. That's why here discovery is a part of the trial. In criminal proceedings, all the details would be established by a police investigator and prosecutor, and here they would be established during the depositions of the parties, etc. New defendants will be added as they are discovered.

The problem here is that it fucks with their narrative, if this guy is responsible for Vic's tarnished reputation, then why isn't he sued along with them?

(Plus by invoking rumors from 20 years ago, they're also playing into the defense's hands and admitted that Vic is libel-proof).

@neural wasn't Nick also added to lolsuit as well recently for starting the GoFundMe? I don't keep up 100% on all this but I am fairly certain he was.

Not to this suit, they're planning to get him deposed during sanctions discovery or something like that, if they do get to that point obviously.

It was a notice of a notice of intent to depose nick. It was just to dox him though.

LMAO are you seriously gonna cry about doxing when we have a thread that literally says "gotta dox them all!"?

Nick referred VIC to Beard.

He said "Vic, you want a good lawyer in your area? I would suggest as your friend, Ty Beard". or some such nonsense tot hat effect. Nick isn't involved in the case, he just suggested a lawyer to Vic.

It depends on what happens next. If the defendants lose the anti-SLAPP motion then Nick will be the least of their worries.

If not, then they will try to get him liable for sanctions. Lemoine pretty much laid it out.

The newest orders given to LOLTwitter: Percy needs to be sued for malpractice. As the old sages say: Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

You don't have an obligation to sue anybody so it doesn't mess with any narrative. The people vic sued damaged is reputation in a measurable way, so they are being sued.

This is why I wonder why Funi didnt immediately file for a TCPA, they thought they wouldn't leak shit or what?

At the time the lawsuit was filed, they had already seen that Vic had a powerful fan base and people were not even thinking of turning their backs on him. So even if they win TCPA, it won't end there.
That's why they really wanted to use the deposition to dump all the dirt they could find on Vic and make him answer every question. They were hoping sincerely that Vic had more skeletons in his closet and would have to show them all. And that it would be a pathetic and depressing sight.

They didn't know Vic had recovered and would hold on like a man. And that against their alleged victim Monica BHBH would not put a brutal Ty, but instead they would bring in the leader of the amazon legion of doom and she would simply destroy Monica.

Even their councillors seemingly have never seen the work of top-tier lawyers before.

Vic doesn't need a 'narrative' to win his case. But even then, he says exactly why they sued these defendants first in his deposition. You haven't actually watched any of the depositions have you?

I don't think you understand how lawsuits work if you're thinking that the fact that Sabat hasn't been added to the suit yet is going to defeat their case. Ron, Monica, Jamie, and Funimation all took actions that could make them liable for damages, the fact that Sabat also took those actions and hasn't been added to the suit yet means nothing.

And no, they have not admitted that Vic is libel-proof, don't go throwing around terms if you don't know what they mean

And there's no way for them to have Nick sanctioned. Nick is just a guy. He has nothing to do with the case.

I swear to god, I love that we have a lolsuit board but I despise people posting here who have so little knowledge of the law that they actively spout shit thats just WRONG.

I think you're forgetting that this TCPA hearing will be ruled on by a judge, who is familiar with the case, and has ruled in the Plaintiff's favor in every hearing so far. Not a twitter retard.

 

[HeyYou]

The problem here is that it fucks with their narrative, if this guy is responsible for Vic's tarnished reputation, then why isn't he sued along with them?

Because Vic was fired by Funimation, as a company, and defamed publicly, multiple times, by Toye, Rial and Marchi. Sabat, however, is relevant to this specific argument. He may or may not be sued later on, but the current statements regarding Sabat only have to do with the fact that Funimation employees have had it out for Vic for ages and have been enjoying a laid-back company culture for ages.

LMAO are you seriously gonna cry about doxing when we have a thread that literally says "gotta dox them all!"?

No one's crying about anything. Calm down, dude. Weeb Wars is full of spegs but you're the one that came in here looking like a tard.

 

[BarberFerdinand]

Both Vic and Ty have stated numerous times that there is a high potential that they may go after more people in the future.

Hey bro you seem more knowledgeable about law than me. Can you explain to me if tybeards motion to strike is good or not? I really have minimal knowledge about law.

I dunno haven't read it and don't have time to lol.

Its probably fine. If its readable and coherent its 10x better than Lemoine's

 

[Legioneer]

The problem here is that it fucks with their narrative, if this guy is responsible for Vic's tarnished reputation, then why isn't he sued along with them?

Because the date Chuck Huber testified under oath is August 30. And this is their deadline for submitting documents. Until August 30, they had no legal grounds, and Sabat was not tweeting and was silent behind the curtain. Now they have grounds, but out of respect for the court they will wait for the decision on TCPA.


Of course, it's their strategy, not their external circumstances.
But the defendants cannot appeal to this, because Sabat's plots are not some sort of public information to which the plaintiff was obliged to refer from the very beginning.

And Huber's testimony, by the way, clearly states that at the time of filing the lawsuit, he was on the side of KickVik because he believed that the defendants had some really hard facts in their sleeve about Vik and minors. That they just protect the minors from publicity.

And when Huber himself looked at the whole deposition, he realized that they had nothing and they were just lying about the guy.

 

[Make Anime Illegal]

It's over guys. Vic fucked his narrative by pointing out that Chris Sabat did something wrong. Now the judge will take one look at this motion, ask Nick why he isn't suing Chris Sabat, and dismiss the case. And then eveyone in the courtroom will clap.

 

[I can't imagine]

So guys can someone who isn't completely ignorant at law explain to me if Ty beards motion to strike is good or bad?

Some tard on discord is saying hucks affidavit impacts Vic's case negatively and that Vic is basically fucked. He also said after going through ty's motion to strike, he thinks it's a disaster and that Vic is fucked. Apparently there are contradictory statements.

Personally, the dude is full of shit. He has defended Greg lying multiple times

A motion to strike will inherently have multiple arguments if more than one is available. You're going to use any possible argument available. So, it can look a little weird since it'll say, "this should be ignored entirely because of this, paragraphs x-y should be stricken because of this, paragraph z should be stricken because of this". Same is true of the TCPA filing. It starts with "defendants shouldn't be allowed to use TCPA", then goes to, "and if you decide they can use TCPA, this is why is should fail".

In a way, they look contradictory, but they really aren't. It's more that there are multiple problems with it, some are better for the prosecution then others, so they lead with the good ones then move down. It's primarily to let the judge rule on the ones most favorable to you first.

Lmao interesting that Ron appears to represent Funimation and threatens the underlings.

 

[Iwasamwillbe]

Weeb Wars is perfect for outing those who have massive Dunning-Kruger effects concerning American law.

 

[3dguy]

Correct me If I am wrong , Is Sabbat an employee of Funimation or just on a contract like Monica / Jamie ?
If hes is indeed an employee , then Hubers affidavit is important because hes a part of Funimation I suppose

They will argue that he's an independent contractor. Vic will argue that all the Funimation VA's are employees. Whos right is a matter of law so the court will decide.

 

[Legioneer]

By the way, it makes all the sense in the world, both from a legal and human point of view.

Chuck knew that Vic was cheating on his fiancée. So when he found out that Vic allegedly did something bad to minors, he was very doubtful. He knew Vic as a good man, but what if he was just not paying attention?

People close enough to Vic, including his ex-fiancée, convinced Chuck that it was all true.

And then during the trial, when Chuck saw that they had nothing and that they were lying to him. Even worse, in court they tried to use his own words, which were the result of their deception, as evidence. That's what got him.

That is, initially Chuck could not believe that someone could lie about a person like that without any grounds. Because it is literally like pointing a gun and pulling the trigger.

And when he realized that he was surrounded by such people. And that even he was used in their dirty schemes like a tool. That's when he decided they had to answer for it. And that the saving the anime community is no longer the most important value in this story.

Are you asking people to tell you what you want to hear, or what actually happened?

What actually happened is that the filing was awful and the discord tard was right.

I dunno haven't read it and don't have time to lol.

Ty's submission was utterly unreadable to the point where I got a headache, I can tell you that because I've been reading almost all of the filings so far. It literally read like a last-minute homework submission.

#LawTwitter are retarded about dumb shit like typos and filing delays potentially getting Ty in trouble (at best he gets a talking-to on most of those tbh), but they don't seem to be talking too much shit when it comes to the big issues of the case, mainly being that Vic has to prove some things to get past this anti-SLAPP stage of the case (things like not being a public figure, and him botching the deposition etc), and based on what I read just now, he's probably gonna have to plan for an inevitable loss.

This is the problem that occurs when you write your briefs and spend a ton of time live on air to please stream regulars instead of diligently working on shit for your client and putting %200 into it.
