I’m admittedly someone who likes conspiracies, but this is also my area of expertise—high stakes litigation. With all the rabble out there and the podcast circuit that guy just went on which he seemed to effortlessly secure but only after he failed to secure funding for his defense, just doesn’t smell right to me.

I have seen small businesses spend millions of dollars on litigation just to demonstrate to the public that they will enforce their contracts if they are challenged, regardless of whether they can collect on those

It just doesn’t pass that smell test that the world seems uniformly in agreement that the Samurai case is a serious danger to speech, coding, etc.etc., but these guys couldn’t sure defense funding, or just pro bono lawyers, to help.

If you have practiced federal litigation you know that when an industry sees a threat in a given lawsuit, lawyers come from all over out of the woodwork to help and make sure the precedent set is good for the industry, yet here there was a mediocre campaign for funds and then a plea deal ostensibly due to lack of funding.

There is definitely more to this story.
