Please don't throw such comments around as insults, it is outdated and even possibly damaging to developing youths that may make the wrong connections early in life and end up with cancer of the testis thinking that regular masturbation is bad.

For those that read that brilliant Q&A between the Judge and Mark Lutz and then the Judge and Steele stammering and scrambling to try and put as much distance between himself and the Sunlust case as possible.

There was no way they were going to want the Judge coming to a conclusion on what was really going on in this case. The judge was a little ticked at the goings on of Prenda, Duffy and Lutz.

At the end of that hearing the Judge chastised a few of the participants of Team Prenda for what she perceived as a fraud upon the court.

In the SF case with Judge Chen, I would have to assume that Judge Chen thought there could be some aspect of believability to Mark Lutz's claim that he signed some documents on behalf of the Salt Marsh trust with the trusts name.

Personally I don't really buy that, I am sure they knew what they were doing, Judge Chen I am sure was skeptical as well but gave them the benefit of the doubt here.

Judge Chen knows what is going on in the case that was before him and around the country, so he was smart enough to let this one go considering Prenda is taking on water and heading to the bottom.

Judge Chen is aware of Judge Wright's order and his notifying the various State bars and the State & Federal AG's along with the IRS Criminal Division, so I would think he knows that is in play so while they may skate in the case before them the hurt is still coming to Team Prenda.

This is far from over for Team Prenda. There is still the possibility of a RICO indictment to come and who cuts a deal and who gets hung out to dry.

Thanks for the opportunity to leave them guessing.

Or maybe you're wondering if having your notebook computer on your lap every time you've played Doom has put your testicles at risk of mutation, turning them into monsterous, sentient testicilians, a race of self-reproductive hell-nuts bent on destroying the world.

2. IMO Syfert was able to get Prenda to pay a good amount to make this go away - along with a non-disclosure agreement. These clowns will know stay as far away from Syfert as possible, as he has inside information on what works against them. In previous filings he made it clear he wanted to settle, but that it would cost them a good amount. I guess they decided it was the right thing to do.
3. Until they make a bond or pay the sanctions (Judge Wright), they are screwing themselves in CA. The amount is minor in totality of what they made. By not paying it only gets worse - stupid greedy people. Who knows, maybe Lutz will feel the need to throw John Steel under the bus before John does it to him. Mark? You know you are expendable to John Steele. Time to make a deal and save your butt. Just my opinion.

This bias on the part of the judges is brazenly obvious.

This bias is unfair to the plaintiff/lawyers (who are one and the same party although separated by a tangled web of paper shell companies). This bias prevents the plaintiff from pursuing the much needed mailing list of identities for sending out threatening extortion letters.]]> Re: Re: Yes. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/10401723156/if-you-think-you-should-actually-own-products-you-bought-now-would-be-good-time-to-call-congress.shtml#c1814 Wed, 22 May 2013 07:10:35 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/10401723156/if-you-think-you-should-actually-own-products-you-bought-now-would-be-good-time-to-call-congress.shtml#c1814 Re: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/15164823159/bad-day-prenda-continues-judge-rejects-stay-adds-1k-per-day-each-day-they-dont-pay-up.shtml#c567 Wed, 22 May 2013 07:10:20 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/15164823159/bad-day-prenda-continues-judge-rejects-stay-adds-1k-per-day-each-day-they-dont-pay-up.shtml#c567
