While the motion to dismiss Vic's appeal's the latest news, there's actually been quite a few developments over the past couple days. Let's review:
-Remember Chris Slatosch from KamehaCon? Monica and Ron's lawyer filed a motion to subpoena him, which Beard's trying to
quash. Why the sudden interest in Slatosch? According to
Lemoine's motion, there's
good reason to believe he not only committed perjury in his testimony (mainly regarding the infamous allegation of the defendants' interference with Vic's contract), but did so at the behest of Beard's solicitation; in other words, there may be potential intimidation/blackmail going on here.
-
Screech's response? He, uh, suggests that Slatosch should file his own TCPA filing for the purposes of hilarity and pissing off the judge. I'm not exaggerating -- he legitimately thinks it'd be hilarious. Putting aside the fact Slatosch's a non-party, I'd like to think the rhetoric here's more emblematic of #ISWV than anything else.
-Speaking of grifters, a new convention by the name of Otaku World Expo recently announced they'd be hosting Vic. The first sign something was off was when this was not only "achieved" by
fan retweets, but by merely observing their
announcement tweet. The second sign was by simply browsing
their webpage -- a veritable portal into 90's web-design and bereft of any relevant information not involving super-expensive passes.
Needless to say, despite Vic stans moving goalposts and celebrating this invite as Vic salvaging his career/reputation the ensuing investigation unveiled some, uh,
telling information.
