It's possible but it's also possible that they threatened to take legal action and Rico panicked. If they did sue him, there will be court dockets.
Still, they probably have something on him or he doesn't do any opsec when logging to KF. When Melinda Scott sued three Kiwis they all laughed in her face.
 
I have a feeling the way it's wired up, it is just someone's project so use with caution
Maybe it's time to play with this tool from the Software Endorsements thread. If it works well with KF, it'll only be a local copy, but desperate times call for desperate measures
For Windows + Chrome derrivative users. Creates an archive of every page you visit verbatim in an offline folder. You can browser the internet archive using localhost:22120 when offline. Would be useful to make sure you never miss an archive..
Also if anyone is into self hosting, maybe archivebox will work?

Disclaimer I haven't tested either software yet.

If there is a case, I would assume it was one that was docketed and then immediately settled, with the Kiwifarmer in question signing whatever bullshit Path.net put in front of him, and then sending it to the judge for a pro forma "yeah, that's nice, case dismissed" signature.

In fact I bet that is EXACTLY what happened here. Rico agreed to do things in his settlement it was not within his power to do. So when he ran to the Mods for a full purge of his posts, and they told him to fuck off this put Path.net in a quandry. They had a settlement, that I am sure included non-disclosure agreements which is routine practice. The problem is the settlement was with Rico, and not 1776 hosting.

But they decided to roll with it, because they are morons who don't do an ounce of research. They went to the upstream and said "yo, we got a court settlement that says X has to happen, its not happened. No we can't share the details with you, there is an NDA. Now do it". Upstream went to Null and told him "there is some sort of court order saying you have to do this". And here we are.

The problem Path.net has is their settlement with Rico is NOT an order of the court. The only people its binding on are the signatories to the settlement, and Null, as agent for his company, has clearly not been made party to the settlement agreement. Which is a huge issue. When he demanded to see the order they were in deep shit. At that point they had to admit there was no such order. Just a settlement agreement. But they didn't. Instead they doubled down. Refused to deal with Josh and tried to brow beat the upstream into being their bully boy.

This boys and girls, is called abuse of process. Basically, Path.net, through their attorney (who should be reported to his state bar for discipline), decided to try and broaden the scope of a settlement agreement beyond its intent to unserved parties. Causing direct financial and reputational harm. Luckily for them, Nulls upstream started to smell a rat and stopped playing ball. Had they acted on the fraudulent demands there would have been even more civil causes of actions here.

IANAL, but there is grounds for action here. At a minimum the ball can get rolling in the State where the hard drives or upstream are located. Once a case is filed, Subpoenas can be issued to make these idiots show their cards.

They would know who he was because he was clearly an ex-employee. That clearly narrows it down.

The problem with the lawsuit theory is that there are no Federal or Arizona State cases where Path is a party. Searching every state court is a pain too.

I wonder if it was even Rico who requested the deletion. Path is clearly full of skiddies. What if they knew his password from his work credentials?

Its quite likely the case was not entered into any formal database, especially if it was settled immediately at the county level without any formal action by the court. The only record it even exists would be at the courthouse where it was filed. Or with the parties.

Unfortunately, even proving that you're in the right costs money.

Its this fact that allows assholes like Path.net abuse process the way they did. They assume nobody would dare call them on their bullshit. Lets also be honest here, its not "us" on the firing line here. We are just watching from the peanut gallery. Its null who has to deal with and pay for all this bullshit. I remain in awe of his ability to both attract and fight off a shit storm of frivolous litigation. My one wish for him is his single bloody mindedness lands him in the Supreme Court one day and he wins. His name etched in stone on American Law to the shrieks and groans of all the people who have used the legal system fraudulently.

So I imagine they drew crosshairs on Rico, they got him to settle to something he fundamentally could not deliver on. What legally could happen here, they could enforce the punitive clauses of the settlement?

One an NDA agreement gets enforced does it nullify the non discomfiture part?

Cases are entered into PACER and public court records as soon as they are filed.

You can't even serve a party until you get the summons from the court clerk, which are a part of the public record.
 
As I understand it, they want to secure the drives as evidence in their alleged case about Rico and seal them to prevent tampering.
Nope. According to the demand letter, it is an "immanent" case. Or a case that will be filed. If they had a civil suit against Rico that led to the court order, they could just issue a subpoena for the drives.

Out of Court settlement agreements are only binding on the parties directly involved. Trying to enforce a settlement on an unserved party is textbook abuse of process. Basically it makes them monetarily liable for whatever damage Null took as a result of their fraudulent misrepresentation. Depending on the State, there could be statutory damages that could be sought. The lawyer who signed off on the demand is also liable as a matter of profession, via legal malpractice. Null could file a complaint with his State Bar, and seek punitive damages against the lawyer via that Bar Associations disciplinary process. That road is only open in egregious cases, but from what I have seen here, its plausible.

In either case, it seems like Path.net would've been best served by playing nice with Dear Feeder and not pulling this circus bullshit that they have, is what I'm taking away from this. They played this so hilariously incompetently no matter what their goals are that it became indistinguishable from actual pedo-defending malice.

That doesn't make sense and it certainly wouldn't justify them not disclosing the reason for them wanting to have the drives seized.

It also wouldn't usually be step 1. Step 1 would usually be asking Null for information about the poster in question followed by a subpoena demanding that information if needed.

"We want a court order to seize KF drives for undisclosed reasons" isn't going to fly and they know it. They're trying to bully people into providing them with what a court will not.

If an incorrect and defaming information was posted here there would be no problem taking it down.
If state of things changed since a post was made it would probably be corrected with new information but kept.
If they wanted entire thread on their pedo employee gone I don't see it happening no matter how nice they were about it.
Their refusal to communicate with Null is indeed baffling.

We all know the actual reason is to intimidate him.

Melinda took him to the Supreme Court already. They denied certiorari. Null won. So she sued him again for the same causes of action just using a different theory of law. And here it is back in Appeals.
