Without wishing to derail, can anyone give me the lowdown on what's been going on recently? Last thing I remember, the judge decided in Funimation's favor, and Vic had to pay his opponents' legal fees. It was pretty disheartening and I stopped watching the thread, especially since it got derailed by speculation than discussion, but it seems like this is still going on, and I'm completely out of the loop now.
Judge did the final verdict.
Lemonfurher and MoRon freaked the fuck out because Chupp got Lemonfurher to agree to bill them $280,000 then gave them $105,000.
Lemonfurher's firm seems to have taken him off the primary role in the case, first having their Appeals specialist take center stage, and now having basically Lemonfurher's understudy take over.

Note: Rusty isn't even a super lawyer yet, and has no big cases under his belt like Lemonfurher lists.
Lemonfurher (or his firm, I forget) first demanded Chupp explain himself
Chupp ignored them.
Lemonfurher's firm then appealed Chupp's fees awards.
CoA is going to take it, but it'll be a while.
Lemonfurher's understudy then, the day after Christmas, demanded Chupp re-do the fee/sanctions, sperging the fuck out about Nick, The GFM, Vic's legal team introducing Ron's own words into the records, etc. This includes him demanding the court award him money for fighting the appeal... before they fight the appeal.
In short: Either MoRon or WickPhillips have freaked the fuck out now that they realized that lawsuits cost money, a lot of money, and all the theories about Vic's Go Fund Me being stolen to pay their bills disappeared into the ether.
