Headline makes it sound like he’s managed to get out of it somehow, but in fact he’s just literally been dodging being served; he’s still pretty fucked.

In fact, dodging while publicly saying that he knows he’s being sued is likely to actually fuck him harder once he is in court. And publicly saying that he’ll just go bankrupt and avoid paying them anything will also probably fuck him harder. He needs to get a lawyer and just shut the fuck up.

Wait,why is that? Getting sued for millions dollars? OK, yes,take all my money, here is 5 dollars. That’s all I have under my name.

A situation could easily happen where they’re forced to pay a percentage of whatever they earn until it’s all paid off (which will be never).

right? The court can decide a punishment can persist through bankruptcy, so him stating that’s his intention likely will promise that they have that exception added in the penalty phase.

Yeah, avoiding being served is something no court is particularly keen on.

“no your honor. That was not my account, it was an internet troll account.”

  • guy who gets away with avoiding being served

this is why it’s imperative for servers to confirm identity and serve.

We are so lucky Nintendo sells shitty video games instead of health insurance. It could always be worse, folks.

Yeah no shit. They haven’t released a decent Zelda since Minish Cap (Link’s Awakening doesn’t count cause it’s a remake). Not a decent Mario game since Super Mario Sunshine, either. They actually went backwards with that series, and started doing side-scrollers again! I got sick of 2D games in the 90s!

I just don’t understand why people keep giving this company money. They haven’t released a decent game or system in over 20 years!

I’m not a big fan of Breathe of the Wild but Odyssey is superior to Mario 64 in every way imaginable. The game play is similar but the worlds are bigger, the puzzles are more varied, the controls are tighter, more stars to collect, etc. Sunshine is good but I always perfered its predecessor (I still watch speed runs for it.)

For a non-Nintendo platformed, Shadows Legends has the tightest control of any 3D Sonic game. Best 3D Sonic since Adventure 2.

I disagree whole-heartedly. The maps in Odyssey feel so empty and devoid of life. And there’s way too many moons to collect, completely ruining the sense of accomplishment you get grabbing one.

I tried to enjoy the game but I couldn’t force myself to play it for more than a couple of hours.

If you know they’re on your ass delete all online presence, it’s not that hard. Taunting the courts and/or Nintendo about this will just make you more miserable because eventually the court will grant the exception to serve your family members instead.

Clickbait trash. He’s been avoiding getting served for a few weeks, and soon the court will allow to serve his mom instead, and nothing has been achieved. Hooray.

Eh, him going on the news talking about it will likely stand as evidence that he knows he’s being summoned.

I thought you have to be able to read the full summons to be legally considered as received. Not too familiar with US law though.

Where I’m from there’s a way of a public delivery if someone absconded, by posting it on the black board of the local city hall of someone’s current registered address for 4 weeks or something.

If they failed to change the registered address they’d also be committing a federal crime, so if they were to contest the lawful delivery, they’d admit another offense, landing them in jail where they could then be successfully served. So that would at best reset the timer at the expense of a felony.

I’m no expert on the process, but I’m pretty sure as long as the process server can attest that the papers were produced to the person being summoned. You don’t have to read it at all… The process server can just drop them in front of you and say “You’ve been served”.

I know that if you can’t be found alternate mechanisms exists, but usually requires attempting to exhaust all other avenues.

But the dude literally outright told the news he knows about it. I’m pretty sure that would be more than sufficient for the court to state that whatever mechanism they used to serve him was sufficient since he knew about it.
