i can't really look at files atm due to my own work obligations - do any of them use Defendants stated intention on public channels to file additional lawsuits along these lines as support for sanctions?

Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
I'm assuming most legal documents in court cases are dry as fuck, so the legal teams on the side of the defendants must have having blast firing back at Vic's team. It must be so cathartic.
*Plaintiff's
Yes. I think all of them reference
Lemoine has in relevant factual background: "Even in Defeat, Plaintiff Plans More Lawsuits to Maintain His Intimidation
Campaign."
Johnson (Marchi's counsel) has "An Appropriate Sanction Will Necessarily Account for the Quarter-Million Dollar War Chest from Which Plaintiff Has Benefitted"
For those wondering, Johnson's conclusion acrostic is "Tidwell"

gah, Plaintiff, sorry...i'm busy enough I probably shouldn't even be looking at this in lunch right now 😂
Thinking to the deadlines, it does make sense. I believe these had to be filed by 30days' time after the ruling to dismiss the rest of the motions.
I just uh... didn't expect Lemoine to be so brutal.
it seems he was very hands off with the case, letting Ty Beard and co handled everything
what a great move that was
Like, even aside from the fact that (though I'd rather he suffer than not) he maybe would have seen the trainwreck coming if he was more actively involved...
You'd think at some point Beard would have said "Y'know, it may appear less completely frivolous if you actually showed any amount of investment in this on a regular basis?" But it's Beard, so, lol.
Keeping Vic at arm's length and unaware was all part of the grift. If Vic had gotten cold feet, they would have lost their stream of funds/attention.
Except Beard doesn't care about winning, all that matters is the grift him and Nick have got going. This is also why he never takes any interviews with any of the legitimate news organisations that have covered this, because that doesn't make him money
ISWV forgetting literally all of Marchi's claims were dismissed on the first meeting is kind of amazing. Of course she had fewer fees. There was less need of her to retain counsel, because she had no claims to defend against at that point.
Mmmmm, love dat sweet sweet giant anime tidwell

So the real 👨🏻🍳👌 bit so far for me is...
The bolded is quoted by Lemoine! Excellent work there Nick, giving the person you're insulting a single line that shows exactly why you're a problem.

apparently, Vic's usual legal peeps didn't want to get involved with this lawsuit. that should have been a sign that this whole thing was a bad idea
He apparently got turned away by two law firms before Beard finally took up his case.
I personally like to thank ANN for giving his victims a voice. The treads over there were... you can guess how they looked like but they for once showed journalistic integrity and kept with it. I have nothing more to add that what i said over there. What a monster.
Funimation Files Motion to Recover Attorney's Fees for Vic Mignogna's Lawsuit
Company requests US$168,941 for fees, US$7,504 for costs, US$25,000 in sanctions
His gofundme - 258.210 $- won´t even remotely suffice as this first wave is already above it by at least 40k and the cost keeps rising.

Even at that he'd have to sue Beard to get the GFM money. Which I'm not sure wouldn't be dismissed outright either.
I would take no pleasure in the fact that a man's life has been destroyed....
But in this case, man, he really did himself in.

I gotta ask... why did people here think of Vic BEFORE this happened?
I remember that stories about him doing this circulated for YEARS before this finally happened.

Like it matters. The fact that Marchi was involved at all with the arbitration had them convinced that the judge had suddenly decided to roll back and restart the case on her despite, um, reality saying otherwise. Of course they see her fees and think they can still twist her arm despite her already winning.
Yeah, it sounded like an open secret. I read about this stuff in middle school
Also, how screwed is Vic? Is he going to have money issues? Is his career deader than dead for sure now
Faiz. ANN just updated their news and the cost apparently rose to $775k if a commenter counted correctly. Someone is spending Christmas under a bridge! ;-)
That said, where is that GFM money going and can the courts get it? It´s cool that a bunch of misogynists were scammed out of their money but who has it and for how long?

I've never liked his voice acting.
And I've been reading forum posts about him being shitty for years. I remember one from a forum I dont remember that pretty much said "if you're a guy, dont bother trying to meet him, he'll ignore you in favor of any young girls nearby"
It's most of our understanding (layman and audience on-lookers) that the GFM is in an IOLTA, that Beard would bill to. It's not anything Vic gets and most peoples' thoughts are that Beard and co have billed it dry or nearly.
And yet, they're the ones who came to his defense.
Oh, the irony is sweet.
Eccentric creeper that my friends had told me to avoid.
I assume that his "lawyer" pissed it all away already. Good. Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru Vic.
I don´t do dubs but I do know my anime and Vic was a solid VA with a high professional reputation before this. Some conventions had him banned before 2018 and there were rumors for years so the damn was bursting even without MeToo. I was more surprised than with Weinstein, he was a very open secret since at least the mid00s on the web, but not that surprised. You could argue that Vic´s actual fans largely abandoned him fast but those reddits and chans came together for him very fast and whole manga and anime sites were turned upside down by people you had never seen as a regular. Urgh.

"Huh, his role is to just shout a whole lot? Damn. That's what we do for a living too. You miss with one of us incoherent-yelling sex pests, you mess with all of us!!"
Yeah, if Vig's accusers were all male VAs, I doubt we'd see any of these fools defending him.
Here is the thing. The Paragus and Broly VAs say every single syllable in the Japanese language in the first (?) of their films. Vic´s role can´t even amount to that.
The legendary meme status that the 2 got in Japan is something that the English language denied Vic. Thank Zodd. Have a taste:
Memes were half the reason the new film happened. It´s actually pretty fun.
Edit: I almost died listening to the clip again.
Disliked him for at LEAST 10+ years due to all this stuff. Open secret and all. Just happy he finally got some consequences for his actions.
I knew he was sleeping with underage girls for at least 18 years or so?
One of my partners high school friends slept with him at a con when she was only 16. And to put it in her words "he was aware"
So about that. Apparently from what was stated not that long ago, provided I'm not misremembering this as there just was a lot going on, that money is apparently gone, as was spent on attorney fees and stuff. Apparently Vic will directly have to pay out of pocket. So, uh... Yeaaah.
