I'm disappointed that @SteveSokolowski blocked me because I'd like to ask what's happening with the credit card case, and why hasn't WF moved forward since SS has assets to execute upon.

I had no idea justice was so slow. There has been NO movement in most of these cases, which unfortunately is resulting in Soko devoting time to AI Music, where he is DEFINITELY being vexatious to my ears.

Someone needs to tell him that he can't file a pro se answer in the case where his hashing entity is getting sued, since he bragged about having so much money in public. I'd hate to see a default entered against him.

@FrederickNorris no no its OK as long as he admits it is an alter ego, don't you see??

@kopecs I swear to the gods, if I ever get lucky like him, I am going to take the W, instead of riding it all the way into the ground.

@FrederickNorris @kopecs How is he going to get a lawyer? Won't legitimate lawyers be intimidated by "Bull Blockchain Law" (real name of the law firm suing him). A human lawyer trained in AI, and knowledeable in blockchain cyberspeak is the stuff of Soko wet dreams, I expect.

@KevinBlaw It does appear that Mr. Joel Aaron Ready is prepared to accept whatever Steve is paying him in.

@kopecs Before law school, Mr. Ready completed two masters’ degrees in theology at Liberty University and founded The Ready Media Company. He is active as a member at Trinity Bible Fellowship Church in Blandon where he lives with his wife and their two children.

@KevinBlaw I'm now seeing it in the docket that he has someone lined up since July. My bad!!

@FrederickNorris The Ready Media Group last updated their blog in 2019. Very savy operators, who aren't saturating the blogger marketplace.

In case anyone was pricing this based on one pending action, see 3:25-cv-00870.

@kopecs Is this "the Conneticut action"? He should get sanctioned for filing that. It admits that it is idential, but pleading violations of Conneticut law. I'm now lawyer, but it doesn't seem like the right way to do things. Shouldn't all cases be in one court? You can't forum shop all 50 states....unless AI says you can.

@kopecs Omg, this is just sad. "With perfect execution, we will definitely win the case." This fellow thinks any case is winnable if the right words are used in the right order in filings. He seems to understand his eventual downfall, though, in the section about the "online community" being sharply negative.

@KevinBlaw

Is this "the Connecticut action"?"

Yes, the '870 case is.

It admits that it is identical, but pleading violations of Connecticut law. I'm no lawyer, but it doesn't seem like the right way to do things. Shouldn't all cases be in one court? You can't forum shop all 50 states....unless AI says you can.

Frankly, I don't actually know that you can't do what he is doing here: the issue will be if he loses for 12(b)(6) in MDPA and tries to maintain the CT action (AFAIK claim preclusion won't be an issue until a final judgement). I haven't seen this before because typically people sue in the court that actually has jurisdiction the first time because it would just be frivolous and a waste of time to sue somewhere that doesn't (but Rule 11 doesn't seem to be a great deterrent for Steve).

Tangentially I will say there is something uniquely hilarious to me about this paragraph:

Every attorney I’ve met has either asked us to do research for him (in 2017, an attorney we contacted to determine the legality of PROHASHING asked us what we thought,) held useless meetings to charge more (like having two attorneys present in the same room to double the cost,) offered to provide useless services (like trying to get Zac Prince criminally prosecuted,) or taken five years to accomplish what should have been done in two (my mother’s divorce case.)

@kopecs I'm no expert, but I can't imagine filing an action and asking to have it dismissed tolls the statute of limitations, which is what he seems to think.

@FrederickNorris I believe he asked to have it stayed. But I didn't really want to read that one to be honest.

Chances the District Court uses the phrase "AI slop" in response to a Soko filing?

bought Ṁ10 NO

Going the other way on this. After this disastrous effort, I think the Brothers Soko will abandon this "pro se" project.

Amended Complaint filed!

Since our friend @kopecs already downloaded the brief, can you hook us up with a free link?

@FrederickNorris You can see everything I've downloaded from the docket in the DCG case here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69511526/sokolowski-v-digital-currency-group-inc/

@kopecs Ty, I did end up finding it. I don't think the Exhibits are worth trying to get.
