Longer. My own awareness of Vic Mignogna – sexual predator and pedophile – began 6 June 2019, so 2.5 years ago
The online discussions about the R. Kelly of Anime had apparently been going on for some months prior
Vic Mignogna – colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime – filed a lawsuit alleging 17 causes of action, including claims that the women he assaulted had defamed him when they went public
Vic lost all 17 claims, and now owes sanctions $$$$$$ to those women
His fans, though:
People are still going on about that? Jesus, take a hint already. Y'all lost. Y'all weren't able to prove it in 2019 and ya can't prove it now. Move on already.
I assume 2022, but given how long this has taken already I wouldn't rule out 2023
I take it he's still not officially 0-34 yet, Greg? Is that something to look forwards to in 2022, maybe 2023 at the outside?
Are you surprised? Their guiding light is a YouTube LOLyer who files letter motions in felony criminal cases without filing a Notice of Representation first, then asks the Court to continue the case into the past b/c he thinks proofreading is for cucks
Have you seen what they’re all pissed off about this weekend? Vic got booted from a con, and I made a thread talking about how it was NOT because he’s a sex pest, and they all got mad and insisted it WAS because he’s a sex pest.
Just pure genius.
Nicky Rackets spent a large chunk of his charity event angrily tweeting insults at @juri, but twice yesterday, that’s how Not Mad he was about Vic being removed from a convention for (likely) violating a vendor’s contract.
I can't remember who I was talking with, maybe it was @billy brew, but there was a brief span of time years back when I wondered if Screech was actually as dumb as he seemed on YouTube
Seeing his felony criminal work, my doubts were unwarranted. He really is that dumb
“I would like to represent my client” is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen a lawyer tell a court. But also? It’s “I’d like to represent my client, but, you know, when it’s convent for me sometime next month (minus a year).” Just really shitty in a felony criminal context.
Proofreading your filings in felony cases: for cucks or for everyone?
Filing a continuance request via letter isn’t uncommon. However, I always uh file a certificate of rep prior to, or with the request. And I typically request a new date in the future, not like a year prior
Depends on the crime, sentencing factors, and the judge
I've gotten several clients probation when the guidelines called for a multi-year custodial sentence, but there are usually special circumstances. If none, make the more-credible argument on reduction in length
Hey Greg if your client was facing years in jail, would you only try to get the sentence stayed, or would you also request a reduction in duration.
Or maybe just ask for reducing the sentence.
It kinda seems a bit much to ask to stay a multi year sentence.
Would you ever put the phrase "My Client's victims" on a document anywhere? As opposed to, say, naming the party?
One of the things we're taught in trial advocacy is not to refer to clients as "my client," b/c it centers attention on the attorney (which is a problem if judge or jury dislike you) and is a missed opportunity to remind the court that they're a person with a name
@Vaxxed in Georgia.
Don't forget Percy prepping the documents for the trust fund Screech is beneficiary of
No clue who that person is, only time I've seen his name mentioned is by Vic Mignogna's fans in my @'s saying assaulting women and being a pedo is ok because someone else does it too
Have you heard any of the stories about DC Douglas? Turns out he might be as bad as Vic.
I vaguely remember these people. The guy never did explain how a soy boi cuck knew the law better than Vic Mignogna's own LOLyers
You'd think the R. Kelly of Anime could've afforded smarter legal counsel
So I’ve been finding out all sorts of things that I either haven’t seen or never connected the dots. Like this: they used some Disney IP to mock @T. Greg Doucette because they were mad at him, and then *posting it for sale on KCC’s Facebook*
I saw your tweet before his, and thought "he's going on about the CPAP machine isn't he?"
Can you imagine how side a life someone has to have for me to be living in their head rent-free for 918 days now?? F*ckin yikes
Omg, bless you David. This is some CHOICE 2019 nostalgia. Almost making me forget the last 2 years.
Now talk about Greg's Hyundai or his abandoned Black/Latino/Gnome child.
Have you seen his work product? I'm not sure working on his cases is a viable option, his clients are better off if he just wings it
What about Rickets and all the time he spends getting drunk on livestream? Shouldn't he be working on his cases, or is it different with the prodigal Screech?
It's almost like the First Amendment is not different in Texas after all
I think that’s possibly the thing that burns the chuds the most: Not only were you right, you had the unbelievable gall (well, from their perspective at least) to be eight MONTHS before the hearing.
Note: Birbmom has the receipts. And all I can say is f*ckin' YIKES
I've seen law school 3Ls write more coherently than Screech Rekieta
Today is Day 920 of the Threadnought
The fans of Vic Mignogna – sexual predator and pedophile, known as the R. Kelly of Anime – are still creating new sockpuppet accounts to obsess over me
"Where's yalls proof vic did anything"
Vic Mignogna – sexual predator and pedophile – spontaneously demonstrating in a sworn deposition how he assaulted a woman he then sued for defamation when she said Vic assaulted her:
Where's yalls proof vic did anything but u can't tell this fool anything. All he is doing is kissing rials ass for that follow.
Is it a "biased account" when the Court basically does exactly what you said it was gonna do? Or is it just that reality is biased against sexual predator pedos like Vic Mignogna?
I'm currently in a hallway outside the courtroom while someone next to me talks on the phone about casket dimensions for a murder victim -- it's definitely hit-or-miss on the enjoyment these days
Or it could be that the fans in the pictures that ANN so unwisely use came out to tell them off.
Of course, how were you to know that I took down one of their sites?
Careful about that closet of yours.
He is indeed admitting to crimes. But I'm skeptical the Danes care enough to prosecute
This is the guy who photoshopped a diploma to pretend he had a master’s degree. When @Rich Seviora: A Series of Petty Events called him out, he cried, deleted everything, and promised to never talk about the Threadnought again. That was like a year ago.
This has been your Chud Identification Service.
I'd say you've made it big, what with having a lawyer trying to lie about you online.
Then again, it's a bankrupt one, on a thread dedicated to the many times he got his ass kicked...
Today is Day #927 of the Threadnought
Vic Mignogna – sexual predator and pedophile, colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime – got LOL'd out of court more than 2 years ago now
It's already several months overdue, so no idea
It looks like this particular 3-judge panel is uniquely bad at timely TCPA rulings. Of the 3 longest-ever delays, they've got 2 of them
If you were an appellate judge, would you want to read Beard’s dreck that he submitted?
And Nick Rekieta and Ty Beard are rooting for a loss too, so the case can die without anyone looking into the wire fraud / trust account issues
Sudderth, Wallach, and Womack
Of the 17 most-recent TCPA cases in 2nd COA, only 3 had 200+ days between submission and opinion. 2 of those were this same panel
(h/t @Alan Rawls 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 for the details)
Nah. The only people who would be in a position to call for an investigation would be Beard (the beneficiary) and the weebs who got defrauded (who will never admit they got fleeced by a YouTube LOLyer they revere)
Is there any chance of that being prosecuted separately?
It's just funny watching Screech get über-defensive when wire fraud comes up as a topic of discussion @Michelle Travis
Yeah dude acts like he knows he's committed fraud
It's funny seeing the GFM screenshots change over time, to the point where now it explicit says the money is being raised for Ty Beard's law firm
Or even when people just ask who the GFM beneficiary is! Like, the most benign possible question about how the funding works sends him into screaming “look at these people accusing me of WIRE FRAUD!!!!!!”
Explains why Ty Beard was so eager to help Vic Mignogna hide his assets
Vic will lose, end up owing even more attorneys fees, but never pay the judgment
(In addition to remaining a sexual predator and pedophile)
There’s a reason why he never got an invoice. It’s not his money, and he has no standing to question how it’s spent. His fans just wrote Beard a big ol’ blank check, which he promptly cashed and fucked off with — leaving Vic on the hook for the Defendants’ fees.
Yes
Though don't underestimate how many of Vic Mignogna's pedo-defender fans are grown
Given that there's a nonzero chance a few of them were spending other people's (Read: their parents') money, would one of these chud's angry parent (whose credit card was used) have standing to call for an investigation? Assuming they can be enlightened to this mess.
"Always bet on black. And red. And green too tbh. At the same time."
– Screech Rekieta, probably
Cute. Say one thing on YouTube, say something else on Twitter.
The Rittenhouse verdict that I – and every competent criminal defense attorney on Twitter – told y'all was going to be the result?
I don't cope with being 100% right by making political donations, no
https://twitter.com/blueredparadigm/status/1476270987809329155…
Screech is a big boy, you white knighting for him because he suckered you is sad
Nothing defamatory in those tweets
My "wrong legal opinions" were the ones the judge went with when he LOL'd Vic out of court 0-17 https://twitter.com/blueredparadigm/status/1476599119204569095…
I'll never not be amused at the sheer quantity of sock accounts Vic Mignogna's fans create
The dedication to a sexual predator and pedophile is truly impressive
4 days, Greg! It's only been FOUR DAYS! Don't be making predictions like that for 2022!
The deal was nobody responds for 24 hours
I know it's never going to happen. But it provides new opportunities to educate people about Vic Mignogna and his predilections
Heres a question:do you only shut the threadnought if nobody responds or if not vic fans respond-otherwise we your followers could keep it running indeinitely
What is there to "settle in court"?
Vic Mignogna sued
Vic Mignogna lost, 0-17
Because Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile
I mean, he's doing stuff that should be fair use and he's got some excellent potential defenses if Law&Crime is dumb enough to sue.
It's just a matter of him figuring out what they are.
Today is Day 966 of the Threadnought
Vic Mignogna – a sexual predator and pedophile, known colloquially as the R. Kelly of Anime – got LOL'd out of court more than two years ago now
Yet Vic's fans are still obsessed with creating new Twitter accounts to harass people
It'll be well past day 1,000 by the time the appeal result is available, won't it?
You know Vic Mignogna's fans are Definitely Not Mad when they openly admit to creating more alts to harass you
Today is Day 968 of the Threadnought btw And Vic Mignogna – the R. Kelly of Anime – is still a sexual predator and pedophile
Oh I doubt that's his actual picture, they usually just take some random photo and slap it on there
Should you mention to him that he is literally going bald, and his hairline is clearly receding? So maybe, just maybe, he should think on that before talking about anyone else’s hair.
So you're saying Vic Mignogna's fans understand science about as well as they understand defamation lawsuits?
He's incorrect. Male pattern baldness is associated with higher testosterone. Hair follicles are sensitive to testosterone and genetics also plays a role.
Except somehow doing it worse by adding the space so they needlessly duplicate the first E
And they're still doing that "witty" pun. Demonstrating that they all have the self-awareness of a 5yo.
Speaking of Vic Mignogna – sexual predator and pedophile, known colloquially as the R. Kelly of Anime – it looks like a new podcast will be debuting soon...
https://wellbeintouch.com/…
He'll need an experienced lawyer. Do you think Ty Beard is busy?
Except now there are several hundred pages of legal documents in Texas confirming Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile, so even if I said it all again I'd win on a substantial truth defense without much effort
Someone sent me a DM of screenshots where they're talking about Sixth Amendment claims and filing a class action writ with the Supreme Court of Texas to force a decision. It's delirious and funny af
I dunno Greg, I've heard that the fact that the appeal opinion hasn't released yet means they're gonna throw out all the previous stuff and it's gonna ROCK the justice system and you and Rial and everyone are gonna get arrested!
I mean, it can't be just IDIOTS saying that...
The proof Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile is in the rather larger number of affidavits in the LOLsuit he filed
And then of course there's Vic himself admitting on camera to assaulting a woman
Where's the proof he's a sexual predator and a pedophile?
Honored to be the first tweet on your new alt! Bonus points for a semi-original insult!
Feel like I should be paying rent for living in your head this long
Wait did he reply to a 2 month old...foodraising thread? Yeah, real asshole right here...feeding kids over winter break.
It's easy to get a litigant to make damning admissions in a depo when you don't prep them at all
Or, in Percy's case, not knowing what he's doing because it was his first defamation LOLsuit
The gif is really too perfect. I hope they covered that in dep prep. "Okay Vic, we're gonna need you to not just admit that you did what you were accused of, but it's important that you mime vigorously pulling her hair."
I mean Percy Beard and Screech Rekieta definitely screwed up, so at least that part's right
Judges are generally biased against SLAPP suits though, so ::shrug::
(Also LOL at "you have to watch the video because I can't possibly type a coherent argument." Sad.)
I've been looking at "tHe PrOoF" since 6 June 2019
I'm the one who said Vic Mignogna was going to get promptly BTFO'd
It's also funny as f*ck that I'm expected to watch a video from a clown who couldn't handle Twitter
We've all followed the case from the day that lawyer's filing went public. The judge wasn't lazy. Watching a video is the lazy out, but you do you.
The rest of us will be right.
This seems like an opportune time to remind folks that @Bad Legal Takes – and thus the entirety of Bad Takes Twitter – originated with the Threadnought
One of the top GIFs when you search "Vic Mignogna" on Twitter and several GIF engines
All thanks to Ty Beard's incompetence! (and Vic being a sexual predator)
I have no idea who any of these people are or any of the history here, but holy shit is this entertaining. Really cheering for another lawsuit from the LOLyers now.
Do you have a "the Room" style celebration planned for day 1000?
Poor Jimmy. Determined to keep creating new Twitter accounts and replying to off-topic threads hoping he'll avoid the Threadnought staying alive, because he knows otherwise more people learn his idol Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile
Weird priorities tbh
Imagine having a cuck light year, testosterone deficient manlet as your lawyer
No, he was referring to me. The funny part about Vic Mignogna's fans (one of several tbh) is that they're so invested in his long-since-dismissed court case that they've developed their own in-speak that the vast majority of ppl know nothing about, so they sound like idiots
Please send disbarment requests to:

Cry moar, btw
In fairness to Jimmy, it's easy to get threads mixed up when you're juggling a few dozen sockpuppet accounts to engage in coordinated harassment on behalf of Vic Mignogna (a sexual predator and pedophile)
I aways assumed your chief weapon was pointing and laughing
Also "make things worse" is relative
Every time I reply to them, at least 1+ person remembers – or learns for the first time – that Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile who's colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime
Yet another example of a comment that, if defamation worked the way these guys think it does, would likely be actionable.
Yep. The attorney behind BadLegalTakes was so astonished by the pervasive and proudly wrong takes from Vic Mignogna's fans that it spawned the new account
You'll notice a number of Threadnought hits in the BLT early days
Well sure, I tend to reply to people who @ me. That's what this app is for
I'm sorry you're accustomed to being ignored by the people you talk at, sounds rough
Aren’t these the same dudes that scream and cry about child support laws?
It won't get that far. The Appeals Court will LOL at Vic and that will be the end of it
And no one will breathe a bigger sigh of relief over that result than Ty Beard
So I'm wondering if Vic's team would/will be facing even harder sanctions if the factual basis of their case ever comes up. I'm thinking they should face suspension/disbarment just based on the actual timeline of events.
Waiting on a ruling from the court. Briefing finished right before COVID shut everything down, and we've basically been waiting two years since
I have not been following the appeals process for this, what’s the current status of the case, and when do you expect the appeals process to ‘conclude’?
Do you just spend all your free time creating new Twitter accounts? your obsession with Monica Rial and with me is unhealthy
I heard you are a deadbeat father is that correct? Why not be a better than to the ppl you failed instead of being a Rial simp?
~2 tweets per hour for me
And Twitter's tweet count includes RTs of others as tweets, so a significant portion of those 1-tweet-every-30-minutes aren't even mine
Plus there's always the "You're on here too much!"
Got that one last night. LMAO'd at someone bringing up 45k tweets...like 8 a day in the news biz is a big deal.
Nah, if you see anything Vic Mignogna-related it's just one of his fans. Been going on since 2019, because they're asschafed I pointed out that Mignogna – a sexual predator and pedophile known as the R. Kelly of Anime – was going to lose his libelslander LOLsuit
High probability that this is a professional troll. U are a blue checkmark now and, as such, will attract the attention of the hackers and troll farms. Sad. Keep doing your thing.
You are correct. I found out about it via @18Hat793, who had RT'd @Akiva Cohen sharing the TDMA letters that were sent out ("my client is not feces," "you blasphemed Jesus," etc etc)
From what I read, every competent lawyer saw how much of a disaster it was going to be before it got underway.
Not just a majority, there was near-unanimity
The only lawyers who thought it was viable were Percy, Screech, and two separate clowns who were friends of one or the other (including one who admitted he hadn't actually read any of the docs and only weighed in b/c Screech asked)
I seem to remember you once saying that getting the majority of lawyers to agree on something is near impossible, yet it happened over this lawsuit.
This is just sad, Jimmy
Who knows? Jimmy's the only one I've seen go out of his way to brag about pirating Marchi's or Rial's work – as though it hits their pocketbook or something – but maybe there really is a Chicago weeb out there as pathetic as he is
Nah, I don't hate Vic Mignogna. I just know he's a sexual predator and pedophile, and folks should be aware before he victimizes them or their schoolkids
RIGHT???
But everything is a real-life anime to these people, so I was elevated to arch-villain status for being one of several dozen people who just pointed out the *very* obvious
“Douche “ette you are a creep and a deadbeat father, but also a white Uncle Tom. You’re a lousy lawyer like Ty Beard.
Though I suppose Jimmy deserves at least some credit for finally realizing how stupid his earlier "FeAr ThE bEaRd!" tweets were back when this all started?
"Just wait until the appeals come through," etc etc
Fuck sake, I'm not even actively engaging in this topic anymore and I've already had to block this cactus-patch three times this week.
You'd think they would get bored eventually.
(Video for the new folks who don't get the "Vic Mignogna propositions 5-year-olds" reference)
Let's create a situation in which this conversation would happen.
"Oh, hey 'person A'!"
"Hiya, 'Person B'"
"How is your day going?"
"OH great, I've been shopping, had my hair done!"
"OH wow, it looks great! *Proceeds to bounce hair, a somewhat normal interaction* Feels lovely!"
Also it's totally no big deal – but publicly talking about something that's not a big deal is somehow a big deal
I didn't even realize that the guy necro'ed an almost 2-year old thread...just to say that.
I mean it's Texas, the same place where Ty Beard can forge a client's signature on a sham affidavit without consequences
I'd *say* lying in a verified pleading is worse, but some days it's hard to tell
I'm sure you're looking forward to that, it would help take the focus off Vic Mignogna getting BTFO'd on appeal
Given that modern Ukraine split off more than 30 years ago, I can see why Vic supporters are troubled by this invasion.
Had Russia done it 15 years earlier, different story.
Indeed, it was a quote of someone else
In any event, bye
I'm sure you think you're making a point here, but tbh I don't think any of us can tell what it is
One has to first be a Republican to be a Republican In Name Only. Haven't been an R since 2016, and have tweeted regularly that nothing will happen to Trump for nearly as long
How are you so bad at this?
https://twitter.com/blueredparadigm/status/1496943166657896458…
Yeah this one has been steadily @'ing me for nearly 3 years now from a variety of accounts
But each @ is a fresh opportunity to remind people that Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile, colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime, so ::shrug::
https://twitter.com/the_cleric/status/1496947184134422529…
You sure do spend an immense amount of time spamming a guy whose "Twitter clout dried up three years ago"
They'd already had me blocked for awhile, apparently unblocked me when someone called them out for talking sh*t behind a block
I'll return the favor when they stop being entertainment
Anime is not real life this is how often I've @'d my "personal enforcer" @Bettikink
Yes, funny indeed: it was a reply to her tweet
I'm amazed you're capable of autonomous breathing
Do you always just bounce from topic to topic desperately praying that at some point you'll come up with a good insult?
You've now gone from "bot followers" to "RINO" to "failed run for office" to "dried up clout" to "personal enforcer" to "Tewson interesting" to BLM to CPAP
spoilers: yes, he does. he's particularly obnoxious.
Sure sounds like you're saying you have no evidence for your previous tweet
And yes, I'm tripling down on saying Vic Mignogna – the R. Kelly of Anime – is a pedophile and a sexual predator
What am I "walking back" in this tweet?
You do remember that's what you were supposed to be finding, yes? Me "walking back"?
That would at least have the benefit of being true
Been wishing the same thing since 6 June 2019
But at least it provides fresh opportunities to remind people that Vic Mignogna assaults women, pervs on children, and sues anyone who goes public
(before getting LOL'd out of court)
Nevermind that, this guy says most of your followers are PAID bots!!! What the hell, Greg, why don't *I* get paid for following you???!! Dammit, it's 2022 and I want mine!
I'm hurt, more than anything....
Have you been following Greg since the donuts? Because I have been following Greg since the donuts and have not gotten one damn penny. Nor even a donut!
Yep, we picked up about 4000ish folks back then (which was a lot, b/c before that time we only had around 13K ppl here)
Did you get a big increase when you were on Ana Marie Cox's podcast? I was so desperate for a non-racist conservative perspective in 2016 And you were a real help in seeing the world less negatively.
No one "ran away" we were busy mocking your idiocy, and the assumption that someone saying "I'll make sure to do X" is a sincere statement and not a polite GFY
Been saying that for awhile – Vic Mignogna could even sue me in Texas, now that I'm a licensed attorney there!
But he won't. Because the first thing I'd do is file a brief asking the court to take judicial notice of the filings in his earlier SLAPP
This one seems kind of sad and thinks if they keep saying things they may come true.
If it is "defamatory", they should encourage sexual predator and pedophile Vic to sue. It'll be fun! He won't increase his preferred age, but could make that 17-0 higher.
Popcorn at the ready.
You don't feel mocked because Dunning-Kruger is real
You think you've well-established something that didn't happen because, again, Dunning-Kruger is real
"Coward" is a weird insult for a weeb hiding behind something like your 20th alt
Huh, I didn't know that the GFM had it's 3 year anniversary!
Congrats to Ty Beard for getting almost 300k without having to show an itemized list of why he needed that much while ending up costing his client more.
I learned yesterday that you are apparently my "personal enforcer"
Deleted that one pretty fast... didn't even get to see what it said.
So what you're saying is basically everything with the Vic Mignogna crowd is projection? "YoU aBaNdOnEd YoUr [23yo] SoN" in defense of a guy who bailed on some kids himself?
I'm not surprised, but f*ckin' YIKES
He did once or twice. There was a video from an event in the early 2000s, the only time I've ever heard him speak about his ex-wife and stepkids. He does say in that video that they called him "Dad".
Yep. I went ahead and blocked him, his commentary ended up being just as boring as the other CHUDlets
He has been since he first slithered out of the primordial Twitter ooze and tried to defend his precious sexual predator: Vic Mignogna, The R. Kelly of anime. (Did I get his titles correct?)
How many alts is this for you now? Gotta be at least 30 by now, it's pathetic tbh
Dude just spends his day creating new Twitter accounts, it's wild
To the stupid ass who just tried to have pizzas delivered to my house addressed to “Vic Mignogna”: for this prank to work you aren’t supposed to put the intended prankee’s email address down as the confirmation email on the order.
It took two seconds to cancel.
Even Screech had the good sense to migrate to the next grift
Amazes me how devoted some people are to a sexual predator and pedophile like Vic Mignogna (the R Kelly of Anime)
They got another one to worry on. I've only seen the story from the other side, but check out Damon Mills. The forum on ANN quickly went to compare it to Vic.
You started the Threadnought on my one year anniversary and I thought, eh, I’ll read it tomorrow, it won’t take long.
It was what's called a "suggestion of subsequent authority," basically informing the Court that they've issued a new opinion in an unrelated case that deals with the same issue as the one pending here (in this case the cross-appeal on fees)
Here's the document:
This particular 3-judge panel appears to be the slowest of all the panels on TCPA rulings, not just this one. I assume – and @Mike Dunford agrees – this letter serves as a cordial "wtf?" while being about something else
Today is Day 1,028 of the Threadnought btw
Vic Mignogna – sexual predator and pedophile, known colloquially as the R. Kelly of Anime – was LOL'd out of court more than 2 years ago now, yet his fans trundle on trying to harass whoever they can
I know it's a dumb question and the answer is probably "Who TF knows" but any idea on the decision? So we can move to the next goal post moving phase.
Can confirm
No clue who that person is. Just noting your desperation for my attention
I'm sorry, you seem to have me confused with someone who cares
It's 10:38pm, courts closed hours ago
You're a perceptive one!
Fresh opportunities to remind people that Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile, who sued the women he assaulted, before confessing in his deposition
Good lord nick might have been the best troll you had and hes a fuckin moron
It's not slander when it's written. The word you're looking for is "libel"
The proof is in the court documents. And Vic Mignogna's deposition where he demonstrates for the camera how he assaulted @Jamie Marchi
They’ve brought us so many laughs, albeit unintentionally.
No no, we want Screech to do another GFM for Vic Mignogna and his LOLyer
Let Vic earn those warzone cameo dollars so he has something to pay the court-ordered sanctions he owes to Jamie / Monica / Ron / Funimation
I mean he won't even need to launch a GFM for it this time, He'll have all that money he's grifting off his fans whilst he's posting Cameos in a Warzone to fund it this time
Looks right to me. But in fairness to Nick Rekieta, he gets so much legal stuff wrong it's a bit unfair to try ranking it all
No one denies you’re the admiral, the tide that favors us, the wind in our sails, the crew shoveling coal below decks.

This thread CANNOT still be going. The man is a serial abuser and his legal team got absolutely hornswoggled in the district court. Why is he such a hero to these people?
There needs to be some sort of symbol when the court finally rules; like white smoke from the chimney of the Vatican.

Sadly AxeBomber has ceased providing any lulz, so I guess I'll have to block him now

Hopefully he asks about all the conspiracies you're now a partry to with all these QTs.
It's not possible to scroll to the top anymore, Twitter's threading broke on this thread like 3 years ago
There's a short summary thread here: https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1401577641615007751…
That was on the 2nd anniversary -- nearly a year ago
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Nobody here is *primarily* interested in Vic the Sex Pest. What amuses us is how bad his lolyers are.
The secondary amusement comes from folks who keep reminding us that he is a well-documented sex pest, and self-admitted too.
We’d forget if you’d shut up.
We started calling it the Streisand-Mignogna Effect a few years back
I wonder if any of Vic's fans are familiar with the Streisand Effect.
The 3-year anniversary of the objectively dumbest TDMA letters in the history of the Texas Defamation Mitigation Act
Shout-out to Ty Beard and Nick Rekieta on the accomplishment!
Here’s your reminder that @vic mignogna is a piece of shit…and so is his idiotic “lawyer”.
"Get a job ... These people must be handicapped. Like, mentally, emotionally stunted children, to be so obsessed."
Vic Mignogna – sexual predator and pedophile, known colloquially as the R. Kelly of Anime – is thisclose to getting it
Wait wait wait
In what universe is the phrase “{person’s name} is a piece of shit” not clearly just expressing an opinion?
What reasonable (hu)man would ever interpret that as anything but hyperbole to express an opinion?
It’s obviously not stating a literal fact.
You created a whole new account just to simp for a sexual predator and pedophile like Vic Mignogna?
Can't keep vics dick out of your lying mouth can you, pedo?
You'd think at some point they'd learn, but alas
So I'm basically forced by holy writ to remind folks that Vic Mignogna is such a pervasive sex pest that he's colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime
Mr Doucette, we here at Better Enemies, PLLC have reviewed your request for better enemies. At this time, we sadly deny your request due to supply chain issues. We hope you will remain in contact with us as we desire to fulfill your order for better enemies.
Every day I hope for a "You sound soft" QT on your TL. Today was not that day, sadly, but it could've been.
Was that the clown claiming he had a DMCA claim because he'd been suspended for targeted harassment?
There are so many morons among the Vic Mignogna simps that it's honestly hard to keep track
He posted video of various cosplayers as part of harassing them for wearing masks at a con and they got taken down with DMCA and he thinks he has a claim. Unsure if we are thinking of the same person as the bad legal takes over there are legion.
It’s pretty obvious you don’t think he’s a predator of any kind
Oh Vic does it again later at the same event, where he asks a 12yo if she'd like to be a sex slave: https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1154574865535504384/…
The audience had enough sense to boo him. His explanation was that he's "playing Captain Kirk" – who I don't recall being a pedo
"Qualifiedly privileged" made an appearance in my memo, for those who remember back to Day 4 of the Threadnought
And you think that's relevant how?
I mean I know why it's not relevant at all. But no, I have no idea why you think otherwise. That's why I asked
Good talk
This might come as a shock to some of you, but public comment on lawsuits are not limited to the contents in the lawsuits
Plenty of people discussed whether "pedophile" was defamatory when discussing Vic Mignogna's LOLsuit, because Vic Mignogna is a pedophile
Quote-tweeting reduces pile-ons vs replies. Empirically. Been over this repeatedly
My comment was that whether pedophile was defamatory was amply discussed during Vic Mignogna's LOLsuit. Their response was a non sequitur about said LOLsuit. The thread it's in is irrelevant
Sure but their issue here instead of answering within the context of the given thread you put it elsewhere to an audience of some 123K people, two of which have already interpreted it as another comment to be dunked on. Seems a touch harsh/unnecessary or just strange
I'm not watching another random YouTube video about a court case that ended with Vic Mignogna – a sexual predator and pedophile, colloquially known as the R Kelly of Anime – getting BTFO'd in court more than 2 years ago now
I'm going to block you for being boring
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j-EkrFxtzmo…
They were finally proven false, and you better not block me for saying that or attack the YouTuber for it, 'cause that's what a moron and a coward would do. Look up Ezra Miller, he attacked a ton people at a bar and a couple in Hawaii.
I love the "you better not block me".
Or what, exactly? You'll roll another alt and keep being a tiny little shitebag?
Not yet
Not surprised Vic Mignogna's defenders are lying about the court results though
"Vic sued because he said people were lying about him, but he got LOL'd out of court because he couldn't prove it" doesn't sound as convincing I guess
Greg! Greg! Your child is multiplying!
And apparently the chuds are salty about how much of a drunkard Nick is, so they decided to pretend you drink a lot??
Can you imagine being such a simp for a sexual predator and pedophile that you spend your free time whining on Twitter about a totally random lawyer who just happened to point out said pred-pedo was going to get LOL'd out of court?
F*ckin' yikes
And it's funny because there are *so many other vices* they could pick from that would be 100% accurate
But they go with "drunk," for the guy who still has a small bottle of rum in his freezer from my birthday like 7 years ago
No doubt if they notice you've locked down your Twitter they'll start doing some extra pigeon-playing-chess victory dances
I didn't even know who Vic Mignogna *was,* I just got asked by @Shannon McCormick for my thoughts about Vic's LOLsuit and I provided them
That was in mid-2019. Vic got BTFO'd in late 2019. His fluffers are still in my @'s daily
He never admitted to anything. Though I do find it funny that actual, genuinely admitted sexual predators like Daman Mills are just, perfectly fine I guess? But Vic? get that Christian the hell outta town!
What y'all did to Vic was purely ideological.
Pretty sure this was @JSL taking the depo and Percy "defending," but honestly it was so long ago I may not be remembering that right
This gif will never not be funny when the chuds show up to defend Vic. Just curious, which attorney was taking the depo when this happened?
Oh they've been using this tactic since the beginning of the Threadnought, arguing the existence of other pedos and sex pests means Vic isn't one
But they don't call Vic Mignogna the "R. Kelly of Anime" for nothing, so...
@T. Greg Doucette Have you ever heard someone say Vic is innocent because another guy at Funimation got accused of sexual misconduct even though the accuser for Daman Mills has absolutely nothing to do with Vic? I mean, holy s***, this is ridiculous.
Screech still pops in his "oh wow awesome" when some corrupt con books him. Whether he is still "invested" in the grift or merely reminding people he exists to sell more shitty pro-Vic merchandise...
The appeals ruling is long overdue, so Vic's fans have nothing better to do
So.
So.
Our friend Vic Mignogna is currently selling NFTs called “Humonals.”
His business partner and friend, Phoenix Marcón, has just been arrested—again—for fraud. This time for PPP fraud.
PPP fraud.
From what his fan club leader told Them Good Ol' Boys on KF, it sounds like it basically amounted to the fan club leader calling him on the phone, finally straightening out what NFTs even are in the first place, MAYBE explaining the organizer got arrested, and that did it.
"I actually caught you with illegal documents!" is such classic weeb nonsense
And you were mostly dealing with the legal stuff. Did you see the Vic stans insisting that FUNimation was going to lose various anime licenses over the whole thing? Or that somehow the Yakuza would get involved?
The watermarks were fun
All the little Kiwis wasting their time to unmark them, then crowing about it – when getting them to waste time doing something stupid was the entire point
KiwiFarms people have angered me since I learned about them.
They engaged in a year's long campaign against one of the most brilliant devs in the emulation community... and won. Convincing the guy, Near, to kill himself.
I listened to that. It's remarkable that they still don't understand the public figure stuff.
Correct
Though there really was never a way to "challenge it right" after Percy demanded $$$$$$ in the petition, on the basis that Vic was super-famous
Do you have an epic "Sunk the Threadnaught" gif/post ready for whenever the appeal comes back, or just going to wing it?
I used to think that, until I looked around at the politicians with rabid fan bases
At least Vic provided something of value to some people when he wasn't being a pedo and sex pest
I continue to be mystified at how a B-Tier (at best) voice actor could develop THIS dedicated of a following.
Yep. Same reason so many people became radical Trumpists, they have a community of likeminded assholes who will give them all the support they can't get anywhere else
The fanclub is a cult of (mostly) young and (mostly) female anime fans who somehow feel lonely, depressed, or like a societal outsider. The club promises unconditional friendship/love/support, and people are scared to lose that “community.”
If Vic Mignogna thinks I'm lying about him being a sexual predator and pedophile, he can always sue me for defamation
It would be fun, I think
I love when you get prompted to prove that someone is a sexual predator or not and fact you cant you block people. How long before you realize it makes you a beta simp for lying attention seeking women?
When I said "come up with new material," this wasn't what I had in mind
Not surprised Vic Mignogna's fans are absolute morons though
You're talking about the wrong Greg Doucette. These videos feature Greg Austin Doucette, a powerlifter from Canada -- Not T. Greg Doucette (@T. Greg Doucette), an attorney from Durham, NC.
Hooboy.
Give this one credit for the ingenuity of commenting on a 2-year-old YouTube video at least
The galaxybrains at KiwiFarms seem to think that, because JIF recalled peanut butter that we distributed to schoolkids in March, it means we got 5100+ kids sick
They are not smart people, and don't seem to understand how voluntary recalls work
Let this tweet be your periodic reminder that the entirety of BadTakes Twitter originated from @Bad Legal Takes
And @Bad Legal Takes originated from the Threadnought, with its sage legal wisdom of Vic Mignogna's fans and LOLyers
(Libel and slander are not "literal crimes")
Otherwise libel and slander would not be literal crimes one can be guilty of fool.
Sure, there are several states who still have antiquated statutes on the books purporting to make defamation a crime
But even there, the First Amendment normally blocks their use
Because 1A protects informing people that Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile
In the least surprising thing I have heard, T. Greg Doucette is dumping on Camille Vasquez.
Remember, people, just because someone's a lawyer doesn't mean they are intelligent.
Aren't you the moron who thought George Zimmerman was going to win a defamation LOLsuit because he was not a public figure?
The one that got dismissed just like I said it would?
No wonder you're so witty
I like that he thinks that's an insult. As if YouTube isn't the bottom of the barrel for lowest common denominator of online interaction.
You didn't use those exact words, no. You just spent a *lot* of time and effort pretending that the odds of success were ever more than 0.0%
Just some excerpts of your keen legal analysis here:
Nice try. Never said the lawsuit would win. I said it was a valid lawsuit. Unfortunately the lawyer who filed it wasn’t very competent and he faced over 12 attorneys who got it dismissed on technical grounds. But nice try.
I had problems with the filing. But it clearly wasn’t that easy if they had over 10 attorneys involved to get it dismissed on technicalities.
Witty!
But no, not at all Screech Rekieta had a lot of commentary on Vic Mignogna's LOLsuit back in 2019
I, and about a hundred other attorneys, pointed out he was wrong and the LOLsuit would get BTFO'd
He's been seething about it ever since
So 3 defendants had 2 attorneys each
And you somehow think that's nefarious, when out-of-state counsel needs local counsel to appear pro hac vice
Where did you go to law school again?
14 is 11. But vdlid point. Still haven’t seen on what technicalities or legal argument it was dismissed. But again, said I didn’t think it had a chance already.
Blocked for innumeracy
Motivated reasoning. If a generally contemptible individual can successfully sue "those evil b*tches who canceled my hero!" for defamation, then somehow their own life will stop sucking so much. It's a total non sequitur, but they believe it sincerely
why do so many of these freaks think their favorite d-bags will win defamation suits? I feel like they're all thinking "now finally we'll get back at all those ... girls who didn't go out with us in school!"
He would tell you he provides valuable legal commentary
But yes. He's a trust fund baby who spends his time whining about his betters
What do you think Twitter is? Also look at Greg’s engagement to follower numbers. Man’s followers are likely mostly bots and probably bots he paid for.
Right the funny part is that the KiwiFarms muppets used to love posting the SparkToro Follower Audit data
Until someone audited Screech's account
Do a comparison of interaction with some like @Law of Self Defense who has 57k less than half Greg’s followers but routinely doubles him in engagement per tweet to see the difference between an account of mostly bot followers and an account of active followers.
Screech Rekieta is incapable of clowning anybody, because the rest of us know his history
Tweets like this are funny because as someone who's paid attention to the whole Vic situation from the beginning, Greg's been proven right almost every single time.
And the times he was wrong it was because Vic lost even harder than anticipated lmao.
I also did not expect a Seconded Amended Vacation Notice, no
A Vic fan with "crib" in his name makes me uncomfortable.
It did not strike me as the sort of thing Chupp would do!
And, being entirely honest here, I truly expected Ty Beard to be better prepared. Idk why I expected that – there was certainly no prior evidence he was capable of being competent – but I had expectations
Nickwit was horribly wrong at every turn about vig's case and is now obsessed with Greg and law twitter because they humiliated him for it. And now all you dummies want Greg to be wrong so bad just to help Nickwit save face. Anyhoo here's this cool pic
Glad to see TUGgy finally getting that mainstream attention he desperately wanted
Maybe now he can get a new mailbox?
HAPPY THREADNOUGHTVERSARY @T. Greg Doucette!!! Three years of this shit! Aren’t you happy it’s been so long?
They've *got* to have a system showing which cases are still pending -- my money is on the clerks refusing to draft it b/c the record was a such a mess
Yes, a "suggestion of subsequent authority" got filed by the defendants, arguing that a recent case dictates that they should win even more than before
didn't they file a "please note this other decision that happened recently that may be relevant" motion not too long ago that would have been a reminder if they had "forgotten"
Nah, just that he finally has someone at least minimally competent handling his Twitter account
While we're on the 3-year anniversary of the Threadnought, apparently Jeff Allen (one of Vic Mignogna's fervent supporters) has had even more of his assorted social media accounts linked together
Congratulations and condolences to the officers and sailors of the TGD Threadnought. Forever may she sail (if the Texas appellate courts have anything to say about it anyway).
The most traumatic thing in my life is your "Daman Mills lookin', yet not-so white " hair... and your overall cuntiness. Ty Beard is a much more better attorney than scumbag sack of shit like you, and plus, you look waaaaaaayyyyyy too young to even be an "attorney!" If you're an
attorney, put some proof Vic Mignogna is a pedophile, faggot!!!!
#IStandWithVic
Vic Mignogna has the best fans They don't call him the R. Kelly of Anime for nothing!
The Vic Mignogna-related ones are real, though most of them have a ton of sockpuppet accounts they switch between since they keep getting blocked
They've been obsessing over the guy for years in my @'s, it's sad
Oy
I’m confused….
How many trolls do you have?
Are they all bots or are some of these real?
My friend, it's been nearly 3 years since Vic Mignogna – a sexual predator and pedophile colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime – was LOL'd out of court after getting BTFO'd 0-17 on his LOLsuit against Ron et al
I assure you literally no one cares about your YouTube videos
Periodic reminder that the Threadnought will never die, because Vic Mignogna's fans can't move on
Part of me feels like I need to blame you, for giving the hell-forsaken vessel a name
It's the guilty conscience talking. Rekieta went from @/NickRekieta (perm suspended in 2019) to @/LawArchive to @/RekietaMedia to @/RekietaLaw
He's also a moron
I didn't block him because "I got destroyed," I blocked him because he is an arrogant imbecile who apparently can't read. I shared the entire policy, yet he quotes the section about "creating multiple accounts." I literally said, "they told people to spam the hashtag..."
Congrats to both of them on finally getting the clout they were chasing back in 2019 I guess?
Hey #Threadnought travelers.
The YouTuber who used anime weebs & assorted weirdos to attack women for speaking out about abuse are once again using weirdos to attack people.
Nikity Rickets & TUGjob are garbage humans & once again they prove it.
@T. Greg Doucette@Mike Dunford
No clue. I was blessed to not know either of them existed prior to Vic Mignogna
Remember when he was pretending to be his intern and was tweeting under that handle too? Was that one of the accounts you mentioned?
Creating a sock account to evade a Twitter ban – the @Rekieta Law: Speech is Free, but Lawyers Aren't account was permanently suspended after Screech went on one of his signature drunken tirades back in 2019 – is not the same as "change ur name back 2 a previous name"
Try again. Do better.
I see Doucette is still salty and jealous that Rakets in just a couple of years became not only more wealthy but also a more well known lawyer and internet personality than him?
Some of y'all have a really weird obsession about who's "better known"
When the Threadnought started, I had around 5,000ish Twitter followers -- and routinely tell y'all I wish I could go back to that
Not everyone aspires to be "that drunk trust fund baby on YouTube who all the MAGAland people go to for their 'legal analysis'"
It cracks me up tbh. Fresh opportunities *every day* to remind people that Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile (colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime), and his LOLyers are incompetent clowns
Cracks me up that you have to live vicariously through other people while stalking people you don't like on the internet to grasp at some form of relevance that might someday make your life a net-positive on the world in your own mind. Find a hobby less-relevant Greg Doucette.
I would much rather be poor and unknown than on YouTube capering for that audience.
Depp v Heard was a trial-level case
in Virginia
and likely to be vacated on appeal
IOW, Depp v Heard doesn't have the slightest scintilla of any effect at all whatsoever on Texas appellate law
Yeah and after the Deep vs Heard trial the possibilities to win the appeals are higher thanks to the precedent Deep stablished.
Even Ron Toye kinda proved that to everyone by how triggered he was after Deep won his defamation case.
No, it's literally true. A trial court ruling in Virginia has no precedential authority over an appellate court in Texas. None whatsoever.
It is 100% a minimally-used vanity license I solely got for the lulz
Vic Mignogna's fans kept insisting that the First Amendment was different in Texas, and therefore I as a NC lawyer didn't know what I was talking about
So we crowdfunded an AWOX
1A is the same in Texas
Actually greg financial status is pretty much vox populi right now.
Not even that, they bet I wouldn't even *apply* (after I'd already applied): https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1150141564380950528…
Then got their account nuked after embarrassing themselves over it
There was also a separate and extended theory that it was all a lie b/c I was in NC during the TX bad exam
I don´t have to imagine he isn´t doing well.
Greg mentioned in May he was shutting down his practice and doing doc review. Cuz he was desperate for money.
In-house counsel for a BigTech company
Keeping the particulars off social media just to see how long it takes Vic Mignogna's fans to stalk me
About 70%ish of my law firm's revenue was doing business litigation, it was just all referral-only so rarely ever came up on Twitter unless the case was interesting (the gummy bear one) or relevant to a given discussion (multinational fraud case where execs sent v naughty emails)
I'm far more interested in _what_ you're doing than for _who_!
I have idle musings as to why BigTech needs a weed lawyer, and the implications of that on the features of certain products, and how that explains A LOT!
The Mignogna/KiwiFarms crowd just has a hard time processing that someone can do things in the real world without broadcasting it on social media
(Plus most of the company's workforce is in states where weed possession isn't prosecuted )
@Evil Malc
Basically
The issue is that these are not smart people, and they're incapable of independent thought. So when someone points out they've said something stupid, their only recourse is regurgitating what they see on KF
A group not exactly known for their skill or intellect
I think we found the Threadnought equivalent of one of those WWII soldiers who were stationed on a remote island and emerged decades later thinking the war was still going on.
It’s 2022 and dude is still out here talking about how Greg drives a Hyundai.
Do we get a prize if we discover the company through sleuthing?
I basically did, just not directly. Like a rando won't find anything if they use search, but the regular followers have probably seen at least 1+ very obvious reference
Given what (I think) you said they are sending you, hardware-wise, that seems to point pretty strongly in one direction.
And I like to think that company would laugh at the pitiful attempts by Vic-stains.
lol I *will* confess that a small part of me feels a little bad for all the jokes I used to crack about Gates and Ballmer back in the day
Fucking hell @T. Greg Doucette! Why, why did I go searching all the way back to the beginning?!?
To save others time and sanity, it starts with a vic related tweet.
"A Scummy Situation from Top to Bottom" is the name of Vic Mignogna's biography
Meanwhile, it would seem a chunk of the actors involved had no idea the convention (Anime Matsuri) was behind this, or that R.Broly was involved, or that he'd even been upgraded to the English voice director. A scummy situation from top to bottom.
The still-seething weeb bitterness is both real and comedic af
(The person responding to Josh is the leader of the fan club for Vic Mignogna, a sexual predator and pedophile colloquially known as the R Kelly of Anime)
Yiiiiikes
I can't imagine having a life so unfulfilled that I'd devote every waking moment to a pedo
She has called my employers, written them, and has done that to multiple people. She really is pathetic and unhinged. She has a ton of alt accounts she uses to evade blocks, too.
The fun part is that I had no clue who any of these people were on 5 June 2019, but they have been obsessively mad at me for **three whole years now**
Meanwhile, I've gotten married, bought a house, got a Texas law license, got a promotion at work, helped feed 5K+ kids 2x/yr...
Doubly funny considering we ended up with -0- sick children, but the amount of peanut butter we bought was big enough that JIF reached out directly to offer to cover any medical bills
I still think the high-point of their irrational obsession came when they tried to make you personally responsible for hypothetical but imaginary harms stemming from the Jif recall.
It still cracks me up that their "owns" of you included driving a major Japanese car brand and allegedly drinking soy milk, which are somehow morally damning vs. a 50-something grooming his teen fans.
Can confirm
I learned a valuable lesson from all that: you can never overestimate the incompetence of Percy and Screech
Damn you, Greg, for standing against their god with the blasphemous act of...being right about a case you're uninvolved in.
Although you were technically wrong when the judge tossed out everything from the bench. Hadn't counted on that blowout.
Squally is still going
I "receive the total credit for everyone else's work" (by accepting a plaque that says Mrs. Parker's Professors Foodraiser, does she think I'm Mrs. Parker?). She also doesn't seem to understand how the tax system works
Vic Mignogna has the best fans
Also, they really need to decide if you’re bankrupt and impoverished or if you’re using plaques to avoid paying taxes on your massive wealth with this one weird trick.
Just be careful b/c brain worms are contagious and her case is terminal
Greg Doucette: so bad of a lawyer he went bankrupt and had to use GFM to buy a Hyundai-powered CPAP machine.
Greg Doucette: obscenely wealthy man who uses a charitable foundation as a front to minimise his tax burden.
Man, you can really tell who Anime Matsuri's favorite person is. I've never been to a con or have even seen a con give one person not one, not two, but THREE separate panels to them that are essentially the same.
Do … do they not have the distribution rights? You’re telling me that AM Studios, the studio that’s re-launching Vic Mignogna’s career, didn’t bother to secure the distribution rights FIRST?
I made the mistake of scrolling up too
And absolutely besides the point, did you realize there was more than one Cumberbatch word play account with middle finger avi?
Are they like some kind of group?
I see the Vic Mignogna fan who was defending child porn "art" is now defending Nazis:
I'm honestly not sure how to parse the insane line of reasoning that seems to go "it's fine for me to crank it to a character clearly depicted as five years old because they'll never get any older".
Today is Day 1,168 of the Threadnought
Vic Mignogna's LOLsuit claiming people lied about him was dismissed by the court more than 2 years ago
Yet Vic's CHUDlets march on in my @'s...
Did you ever think it was going to come up this often?
Boozy staaaahhhhpp
Vic's gonna end up filing another LOLsuit and I'll have to add Boozy to the wiffle bat list
**NEW FIIIIIIIIIIILINGS**
I don't want to spoil it though so I'll let other folks go first
Mike's thread is below
Translation: Vic Mignogna – a sexual predator and pedophile colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime – got BTFO'd out of the appeals court and went 0-17 again
*Plus* lost the bonus Rial-Toye cross-appeal on fees
Soooo he's now 0-35 overall
Threadnought appeal has landed;
Decision affirmed except as to fees; remanded because the court erred when it failed to award enough fees to Rial and Toye
If you thought Vic Mignogna getting *thoroughly* BTFO'd by the appeals court today would get his fans to have some perspective on his perving, you would be wrong:
The alleged hair pulling that never haopened? The jellybean incident? The disrespectful treatment towards him by his coworkers? Ron Toye's tweets? Monica's tweet literally saying "Harass Vic"?
The opinion repeatedly goes out of its way to thoroughly shit all over Ty Beard and his incompetence
How so? For those of us with no background in law, would this opinion be worse than the original "I am tossing most of this lawsuit way before most people could have dreamed" opinion?
The trial court said Rial+Toye could only have the same amount of fees that Marchi got
The appeals court said that was improper, and they should get even more
Wait. Does that mean Vic would have been better off not appealing?
Not over yet. There's a remand on the attorney fees, and Percy can always try to appeal to the Supreme Court of Texas to keep the grift going a bit longer
Finally, it's over. The threadnaught can be retired, decommissioned
Putting a footnote of your appeals brief "compare [several hundred pages] to [several hundred other pages]" will do that
Just another reminder that Ty Beard doesn't know what he's doing
Filing an appeal was damn foolish.
The court of appeals is even less impressed with the Plaintiff and his legal team than the trial court was
LOLOLOLOL
Where on earth have we heard of cases like Lane v Phares and Van Der Linden v Khan before??
It's a mystery
Can y'all imagine having your prolific history as a sexual predator documented in a publicly available appellate opinion?
Big yikes
Yes
Anyone wanting to show that Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and pedophile can just point folks to this appeals opinion
And if Mignogna sues anyone for defamation because they pointed out he's a sexual predator and pedophile, the defendant can cite this opinion
@T. Greg Doucette doesn't the fact that "he" appealed mean this joke of a case is going to be preserved on databases like westlaw (i'm sure the trial is somewhere though)
"Hey Siri, how can you tell when an anime voice actor is a sexual predator and pedophile?"
This case is like a whole lesson on legal malpractice
Yes. I staked out the position that it would be successful (screenshot below), a couple other folks did too IIRC, but it was definitely a minority view
I imagine @Rekieta Law knows better than any courts of appeals and will explain why logically on his YouTube show tonight. Venmo me money and I’ll watch it and explain why he’s still wrong about it
So much malpractice in this Vic Mignogna appeals opinion
Not in anti-SLAPP jurisdictions, the cases are typically nuked before depos can happen
Plaintiffs in defamation cases are not typically deposed?
This passage and footnote roughly translates to "there were a lot more reasons why Vic Mignogna was going to get BTFO'd, but his LOLyer Ty Beard was so incompetent we won't get into all that":
Yep. The appeals court goes out of its way to meticulously document the variety of ways Ty Beard f*cked up Vic Mignogna's already-losing case
I think Twitter's algorithm is so tired of the Threadnought after 3 years that only a small chunk of the 100K are gonna see these tweets
May you be adequately compensated for your future suffering just the same
Also: feel like I owe an obligatory apology to all the folks who follow me because of [infosec | ShotSpotter LOLetry | police misconduct | #SilentSham | DUI Dan] now having their TLs flooded with tweets about the Vic Mignogna LOLsuit
I'm sorry y'all
And just because I’m feeling petty … don’t forget, he turns 60 this month. For someone who tries to hide his age with Botox and weird clothes, that ought to be devastating. Tough month.
You did! He was the trial-level judge who heard the case initially
I'm gratified to see that the case that ultimately got my family doxxed and death threats made to my kids has finally come to a conclusion
Also you need to come back on the show so we can do a wrap up
Remember back in the first week when the CHUDlets were all "she tweeted a letter, that's defamation! Greg told her she could, that's unauthorized practice of law!"?
Talk about a ride
I want to thank @T. Greg Doucette and @Mike Dunford and the rest of law Twitter for helping the lawsuit along and giving hope to us when we were feeling the heat. Y'all the best.
@Mike Dunford The craziest thing about arriving late to the #threadnaught is how many stretches of @T. Greg Doucette threads end up looking like this when the dust settles.
Had not planned it originally, but now that you mention Bojangles for lunch does sound appropriate
Didn’t you spread lies about how Todd Habekorn raped you and then he released all the emails you two exchanged and revealed you lied about it? Sad how you people haven’t learned about how spreading lies ruins peoples careers but you don’t care
Sorry if this has been answered but I wanna make sure I'm clear
Does the increased amount of money for Rial and Toye come out of Vic's pocket?
Nick Rekieta always planned to use this case as his springboard to be a MAGAland commentator
And his plan worked, he can now pull in $1M a month in YT superchats
All he had to do was mislead people and pretend to be competent
It’s hilarious that I never thought any of this would come up other than here. And during the Depp/Heard case a irl friend was quoting RekitaLaw from a podcast and I said that idiot that represented the anime VA abuser?? Yeah I’d take that with a dump truck of salt bro.
The Texas 2nd Court of Appeals lays out pretty thoroughly that Vic Mignogna is a sexual predator and a pedophile
Take it up with them
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Reading the Court of Appeals opinion on Vic Mignogna's case – where the court thoroughly documents how incompetent Ty Beard and Nick Rekieta were – makes the fact *they actually sold this t-shirt as lawsuit merch* even funnier
Sadly it's a wee bit too tight 3 years later but I did pull it out for a posterity photo
If you think Vic Mignogna being colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime is funny, wait until you type his name in Twitter's GIF search and find out the #2 result is him confessing to assault in his deposition
Those allegations were never proven. You know who is an actual predator Damon mills.
IMO only viable damages claim would be the delta for TCPA sanctions w Rial
A competent attorney could have gotten the hotel claim past TCPA using Van Der Linden v Khan
But neither Ty Beard nor Nick Rekieta understood the case, even after @Mike Dunford gave it to them on Day 1
There is a glaringly huge problem with a malpractice or negligent referral claim, though Nick & Ty screwed this up so badly that they might have created a colorable claim for a guy who never had a valid defamation case in the first place. But the GoFundMe might mean no damages.
Fair point on the appeal, I was just thinking the initial suit
Tough to prove but for causation on mediation advice though IMO. Guess it would depend on what the offer was, but just from an evidentiary standpoint I don't see Vic carrying the burden on that
Dunno. I'd think there might be a claim based on advising the appeal (unless they were really careful to caveat the risks and, well, Ty and Nick), given that there are additional mandatory fees for the appeal.
And if they advised him to decline a mediation offer?
Vic Mignogna's fans can't even do their whataboutism right?
Big oof
Nah, I'm telling people that if you're a sexual predator and pedophile who's assaulted multiple women, don't sue the women claiming they're lying when they come forward
And if you do, don't hire Ty Beard or Nick Rekieta to do it
@T. Greg Doucette Are you encouraging people who are victims of a false allegation case to not sue them for slandering & defamation for pain and suffering?
There are some instances where a defamation lawsuit in Texas is viable. The Alex Jones case is a recent example.
But most cases, most of the time, are going to lose
2/2
@Adrianna Jalisa Pugh
If you are the victim of a false allegation don't sue unless a) you have competent counsel and b) you have evidence that the allegations are false. If you're a public figure, c) evidence that the folks you're suing knew the allegations were false. Vic couldn't meet any of those.
Also true. In theory, Ty Beard could have laid it all out and Vic insisted on going forward anyway
But Remy, Ty doing something competently? C'mon
This kind of depends on what the advice given was about (1) the actual risk of TCPA sanctions and (2) the risks of appeal.
I guess my thinking is the TCPA-related damages wouldn't be actionable b/c Vic's prior conduct – consulting multiple attorneys who told him he didn't have a case, telling Rekieta he was on board with the GFM, etc – made it clear he was going to proceed regardless of the risks
1/
Exactly! Which means that seems like that might be a viable damages theory.
So the best damages claims would be the ones where things were worse because of Beard's incompetence, regardless of any advice given or not given re the TCPA
(I do agree w/ you and Mike re the appeal risks though)
2/2
@✨ remy “blatant and fragrant” green ✨
Not at all, but would that be a tort issue or a bar issue? (or both ofc)
I think the theoretical answer would be yes it could be tortious, but on a practical level I don't see how you'd prove by a preponderance that the prior attorney's misconduct was the but for cause
Hmmm. That’s actually a super interesting question. I don’t have a strong instinct one way or the other on it. On one hand, yeah, exactly. On the other, does that excuse Ty for not giving advice a diligent attorney would need to?
I do wonder what absurd sports metaphor Percy is gonna run with now, if losing 0-17 at trial is halftime
Percy likely threw advising against appeals out the window when he almost immediately tweeted "Halftime" after losing the first time.
He wouldn't have worked the weebs up if he didn't intend on doubling down.
I really want a ‘which lawyer was worse’ debate about that one and Ty.
My gut says Ty is worse overall but the cell phone was a bigger single mistake — but IANAL.
I'd love to see Legal Eagle do a video on that but despite all the schadenfreude involved it seems kinda niche compared to the stuff he usually focuses on covering.
It's what happens when you don't prep your client for his depo because you're too busy trying to be a social media star
To this day I am baffled by the now famous gif of Vic admitting putting his hands in Jamie's hair.
Because to me as a layperson it means Ty Beard never asked Vic if he ever had such an encounter even Nick seemed surprised "Say you never pull her hair that day!"
Gotta admire the Vic Mignogna fans giving even more money to Nick Rekieta's GoFundMe after the latest set of Ls
There are none. The original LOLsuit was so bad, and the ensuing appeals so stupid, that there is no "fair and balanced" coverage
There are news articles that were right about this getting LOL'd out of court repeatedly, and there's an assortment of ISWV hugboxes
May I ask which news articles that aren't one sided for this appeal?
You jest, but several of Vic Mignogna's fans in my @'s are adamant that the Court of Appeals went out of its way to say Vic would have won if he had a different LOLyer
No no no no no no no no no. This was an amazing victory for Vic and his lawyers.
By making look like they were incompetent and had no case at the appellate level they can spring their trap and their genius plan will be revealed in front of the Texas State Supreme Court.
Ah, that both makes sense and is 100% unsurprising
Clowns
It's a KF thing. Their hugbox is filled to the brim with "it's all stupid Ty's fault" copium because the CoA said "the evidence isn't in the record, we're not considering it" which they "read between the lines" to mean "bruh but if it was in the record Vic wins"
For folks who want the page-by-page tweet-through of the Vic Mignogna appeals op, @Akiva Cohen has you covered here:
Hey, #LitigationDisasterTourists, it's time to look at the Ur-text of litigation disaster tourism, the decision on appeal from the place where, in many ways, all of this started:
Those letters somehow went viral in the legal community (we don't need to discuss who helped with that, ok, I'm sure they feel bad enough as it is) and when I say viral, I mean VIRAL.
I literally heard reports from lawyers in Australia and Hong Kong about colleagues bringing it
Now I've slept a lot since law school, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that not only did he lose the court basically said your chances of success don't even exist.
