The one thing that was obvious from that hearing was Chupp had flagged Lemoine as lying to his face, and kept asking him questions to dig the whole deeper. “Have you ever brought up getting the GFM on Twitter?” “ Is this the amount you will actually bill your clients?” Those are like his “Has your client stopped Tweeting?” question to Casey. Casey had the good sense to give an honest answer that told the Judge all he needed to know. Lemoine lied openly and transparently. I’m dying to see how that pays off for him.

Well, doesn't Lemoine have his twitter account protected? He probably felt he could get away with lying to the judge.

Fuck mate, he's lying in his latest filing again as well. He's only an "expert" at shit flinging to try and obfuscate the truth.
He's finally "won" his first TCPA as an "expert", and can't even handle the billing as professionally as Johsnson a stripmall lawyer.

Looks like the final total (assuming failed appeals, not including anything potentially added on failed appeal) is $238k.

From the general. $240... that's $60k for each of the 4 defendants. And it's like 1/3rd what they were asking for total isn't it?

I had thought maybe what Chupp might pull was taking the 3 bills and averaging them or whatnot, but... wasn't the lowest bill $60k? Did Chupp just take the path of least resistance and go "ok, this one looks not obviously padded with bullshit, you all get that much and no more."

If true, that means Chupp also denied the fees they wanted for appeals, and appeals to the supreme court which totalled over 750K for everyone combined. Along with him seeing Lemon, and Funi stacking the bills on purpose.

Does the 240K include any sanctions? I don't see a filing attached on the farms yet.

At this point, a big "win" for Vic is getting <$250k attorneys fees + sanctions against him (not including appellate fees). Defendants are asking for ~480k in current fees, plus fees for the fees hearing, fees through appeal, and sanctions. A "win" right now for Vic is to keep the Defendants under 50% of their ask with minimal sanctions.

A "meh" for Vic is about 65-75% of fees + small sanctions, or under $375k due now + various appellate fees. Judges usually cut at least 5-25% off the top, and so getting more than a 25% haircut is a win for Vic (for the purposes this hearing). Plus that also meand sanctions weren't too bad.

This was a "win" for Vic. Yes, he lost at the trial stage, and is ordered to pay a lot of $$$.

But JSL and Defendants were looking for an execution, and instead got half of their fees (with a 2/3 haircut for JSL). Yet another case where the lawyers are the only winners.

Could be 60k per party, plus a 60k sanction total.

Well, that number does sound lazy enough for Chupp.

ALSO, remember that Vic won't have to pay this until after ALL appeals are done. They could be fighting over this all next year.

Chupp awarded $5k in sanctions each for all three parties. The total of all the parties with all attorney fees, expenses, sanctions and fees for appeals comes to $525,542.42.

If Vic decides to forgo appeals he would owe $238,042.42 right now.

Holy shit! Lemontwink was asking for AT LEAST 100-260K sanctions lol, not including his 280K fees.

He must be wheezing into coma now.

please.png


Also Vic doesn't pay their appeals until it fails, and then he can appeal all the fees as well.

So does Lemoine get 100k or 55k? I'm confused?
