The court hasn't dismissed the case, so this thing is on life support for the moment.

So if/when this case is dismissed and Preston suffers another grand embarrassment, how long will Pressed-In hide before he feels the need to resurface and get his next dose of shame-dopamine? Wasn't it 2-3 months last year after his porn video was (re-)discovered before he came back and started down the road he is on now?

Or ones suffering from the after-effects of West Nile Virus (who operates in the Dallas area, where @PocketJacks is from)?

That would make for some glorious Rekieta streams. I almost want that to happen just to see the flameout for Pressed-In and Lemons when the lolsuit fails.

I was wondering why she'd comment about @FROG's lawsuit and instead I found this, which gave me a chuckle:

Based on the initial complaint, I kind of wondered if the firm representing Preston fully understood the case and what (the art) they were going to be taking into federal court to defend. Its beyond unusual to switch representation between the complaint and initiating process service. One theory is that junior people drafted a fairly standard sort of complaint and then someone more senior got assigned to look into the details of the case. That person took a good look at Lamont's work and then there was a problem.
In the situation they are in, I think their choices are going to be kind of limited. They are either going to have to find someone who specializes in cases concerning very unpopular people or someone desperate for work.

Or, another theory, @PocketJacks and Lamont were displeased with the Fein Law Firm's services. Perhaps the firm was moving too slow for their liking (not to mention the defendants had not actually been served, yet)?

Going deeper on this.
The timeline is:
- 6/3/2021 The attorneys file the amended complaint with the judge.
-6/14/2021 Lamont physically signs the document concerning the attorneys leaving the case.
So whatever happened, happened during the week of 6/6 - 6/11. The defendants should have been served that week
if things had gone normally. For Lamont to have physically signed the papers concerning the withdrawal on Monday (6/14), I think they would have had
to have been drafted on at least friday and the decision to part ways with the attorneys made on thursday or earlier.
So its up in the air how slow they were (IMO). And I dont know technically if they could serve papers before the amended complaint
was turned in.
The document gives as the reason for the attorneys leaving the case:
"counsel believes that withdrawal is necessary because the clients and the attorneys have differences with respect to how to proceed with the case, and the clients have expressed a desire to manage the case in a different manner."
They don't have to tell the full truth in that statement, but it has to be somewhat the truth. "expressed a design to manage the case in a different manner" could indicate displeasure with either the speed of the firm in acting on the case or the quality of documents produced. But "differences with respect to how to proceed" could point to some major difference in strategy in parallel or in addition to the other stuff.
When (or if) the new attorneys are announced, it will probably shed more light on things.

"My name is Trust Fund Baby and I create comic books under the label Pocket Jacks Comics as well as act in porno movies. My most well-known work is "White Lily" which is self-insert fiction describing my second marriage to a woman who sometimes describes herself as a sexual psychopath. The character representing me in the story is a cucked lesbian because that is how I see myself.
I became aware of the activities of a group of indie comic creators led by Ethan Van Sciver who routinely asked their fans to harass their critics and competitors under the label, "Comicsgate." I immediately asked to join the group. When I did not receive an answer within a few days I decided that Ethan and comicsgate were bad. Or I decided that the money was more on the side of complaining about them as a leader than joining them as a sub-micah curtis minion.
I a-logged their activities on my YouTube channel for the last 2 years or so, as well as the increasing intensity of their attacks on me. I filed a trademark for the name Comicsgate to institute what I called a "reign of terror" on my enemies, subject them to rightful cancel culture and make money off the name when I noticed it was becoming a cult for small minded people to hate and attempt to destroy others.
When Ethan Van Sciver and a keyboardest for Dark Gift's karokee band defeated my attempts to get the comicsgate trademark, I had a whole lot of revenge money burning a hole in my trust fund baby pocket and nowhere to spend it anymore. I also indulged my self-destructive streak by deciding to defend a close friend who was doing a sexualized 3D comic about what he described as a 17 year old. I was determined to die on loli hill to defend a nobody whose comic was eventually rejected by kickstarter for TOS violations.
When this happened, I decided that something had to be done. And this is something. Even though I claim to be independently wealthy and to have fuck you money I inherited from my dad who didn't hug me enough, I need your money. Because reasons. So give me your money. ALL of your money. Something has to be done and spending a whole lot of money on a lolsuit that has zero chance of success is certainly something. And quite honestly at this point, I'm likely to raise more money on this GFM than I ever made publishing comics.
So give me all your money. Because quite frankly, all of you and society will be better off without you having money. Putting your money in the pockets of my attorneys is the best possible thing for society as a whole. Because if you give me money, you don't deserve to have any money.
Thanks - and stay in school kids!"

The GoFundMe, if legit, is going to pay down what he owes the law firm he recently parted ways with. There's nothing else it could realistically be for, because $1,000 is an insignificant amount of money in a defamation lawsuit. Courtlistener says the filing fee alone for his complaint for $402.Imagine claiming you have fuck you money and then representing yourself in multiple suits against your ex wife.

Imagine wanting to sue someone but not taking the time to consider how much this would cost out of your own pocketbook.

The firm should've been clear about the costs upfront. If they weren't, he got what he deserved. If they were, I suppose the plan was to intimidate the defendants into immediately settling? but he couldn't even afford to serve anyone.

Another theory is that they were clear about the costs, but started pressing for a big retainer after the complaint was finished. Not saying it happened in this case, but one way for a firm to get out of a case they don't like or don't believe in is to suddenly demand lots of cash up-front for future services. A retainer can also be used to flush out a client's true intentions. There are lots of people willing to pay for a case $1000 at a time who suddenly look at things differently (or don't have the money) when asked for a down payment on the whole case.
