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

You know I'm just gonna leave this thought here. Lemoine claims to have the support of 90+ lawyers (presumably LawTwitter) when it comes to his choices and proposals.

Did nobody....tell him....that this was gonna be a bad idea or did they get morbidly curious and want to see him crash and burn spectacularly because if they decided to go with the latter I guess they aren't so different after all.

Then again that puts their credibility six feet under.

Everything Lemonparty does is pure genius until it crashes and burns and then they always knew it was a bad idea.

As has been my theory since lawtwitter and lemoine got involved, they are all working on it, or at least firing off potential cases. They have a vested interest, because it is super lolyers getting laughed at.

I would love to know if some of those redactions are Lemoine “collaborating” with other lawyers and billing the clients. Remember, Toye was speaking with Doucette and others on twitter and wouldn’t be surprised if they had been communicating even more off twitter.

God, please get over turned on appeals and let discovery happen.

So it begs the question who do we think is the one who thought/suggested they should run up the bill; Lemoine, MoRon or Lawtwitter?

I can see MoRon, maybe even Sabat telling MoRon, to jack up the fees. I'm iffy on the Fuhrer though, if only because I doubt a lawyer wants to tank his own cred that bad. You know, I doubted that, until I saw this fucking case. Who knows, maybe the Fuhrer wanted to be the one to voice Edward Elric and so carries a vendetta against Vic. His hate boner is pretty obvious for everyone to see.

Considering the obsession with the GFM, I'm gonna say it was mostly Lemoine's idea with lawtwitter's blessing. That GFM gave a nice cushion that minimized the risk of the suit for Vic. Driving up the cost was likely the only way to make Vic feel the pressure otherwise.

Sadly, it didnt work as well as it was supposed to.
 
If they go for spirit of the law, I feel they may moot the entire TCPA on the basis that 1 - It was not filed timely and 2 - Every defendants waited for 3 depositions to happen (which drives up costs).

Defendants did not use it as the spirit of that law states, but as a way to prematurely abort the lawsuit without due process. (And chupp allowed it)

"The spirit of the law"
Yeah the spirit of the law is very simple. "We can't trust a Jury to make these decisions and our Appeals court doesn't have work to do". The law GUARANTEES appeal from both sides, barring settlement. If the plaintiff wins, Defendant appeals because it's De novo and if they win, THEY OUTRIGHT WIN. If the Defendants win, the Plaintiff MUST appeal or else the suit is completely dead and they get hit with attorneys fees.

So it's HEAVILY bias for the Defendant, makes the process even MORE difficult for the Courts, gives MORE work for both sides to do,

Chupp could have completely denied EVERYTHING for the Defendants TCPA and it wouldn't mean shit. It gets a De Novo appeal granted by the law itself. At that point the Trial Judge is completely moot. Anti-SLAPP specifically makes the entire process a complete waste of fucking time simply because (barring settlement), it's GOING to Appeals period. It's treating both the Court system AND the Plaintiffs like they're fucking animals.

In short. Anti-SLAPP laws are absolutely tyrannical and were SPECIFIED in the 7th Amendment of the United States Constitution back in the 18th Century BECAUSE of this exact scenario. Judges are much easier to bribe "or be fooled" than a Jury. Here's the fucked up part. It has NOTHING to do with the Court System. It has EVERYTHING to do with Economics and the highway robbery of Legal Fees.
Conservative Boomers that love this shit are the same type of people that honestly believe they're defending the First Amendment.....which hilariously they outright disregard literally every other fucking Amendment for it, going so far as to violating them. The Bill of Rights isn't numbered by their importance you old dumb fucks. It's numbered because....it's numbered.

MoRons with LemonAids seeing dollar signs in his eyes. Remember Monica texting Aids to ask certain questions during the depo? Remember Monica demanding an apology from Nick back when Vic was trying to sort this out through e-mails with her? Remember Ron's affinity for thinking non-related youtube vids is great evidence for other things he's trying to prove? They're both really into extra curricular activities.

Monica thought she knew how to run a smear campaign through the legal system thinking it was all going to be free of charge. I find it hard to believe a lawyer, who has TCPA court experience, thought he had carte blanche and everything was a blank check to be signed by Vic. I do think there is bad legal advice between MoRons and Aids, but they probably ignored the good advice too.
 
The discovery rule generally requires diligence. You can't just remain willfully blind over someone you believe has wronged you and not investigate the matter just to extend the statute of limitations indefinitely. The discovery rule is an equitable tolling principle that generally requires good faith and clean hands in the matter, which is why, for instance, fraud also tolls the statute of limitations, because it is a wrongful act that specifically prevented the plaintiff from discovering the harm.

I don't think the one year statute of limitations applies to anything Sabat could be gone after (even assuming things we don't know for a fact that he did actually happened) other than defamation.
I don't see how that applies here. If Sabat is involved in TI or defamation, it'll come out in discovery and not before.
 
For real I wouldn't blame people if they thought he was avoiding something. Not like anything major was going to go down for a while though.

With lemontwinks senior partners wanting their money, and MoRon likely confused as fuck as to them now getting a 160K bill; I doubt it would get calm any time soon.

Every single time we expect a calm period, the clown train derails.
