So, then, whose fault is it that he is a piss-poor manager?
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

What a tool. He truly is a peter. And by peter, I mean dick.
Also, I call bullshit on the Elon Musk and Peter Thiel story.
Carlos. Because he works for CBS and photoshopped all the emails.
I am not buying the mission creep backrev suggestion beyond the Prelude project. Any further, it is a way to make the more recent decisions look good faith actions of a project making a fan film, just unsound decisions, where there was clearly intent seen in the post-Prelude KS to create a business.
Somewhere between getting the Prelude funds and going for the next round, a business was conceived and set in motion.
Trying to backrev the entire history of this project to be a fan film as the mentality may have been before Prelude (or perhaps one has to go back farther), is an attempt to paint over very contrary facts. Alec isn't owning up to regretting trying to build a business off the back of fans and studio IP. He's only regretting being blinded by too much money. That's ridiculous.
And notice that one of the things Alec says could have happened if they hadn't overreached is that he would have gotten to play Garth. Vanity project.

I'm giving 3-to-1 odds AP eventually sues his own attorneys for malpractice.
^^^I'm sure Alec Peters version of the lawsuit will soon be:
Alec Peters: "I just tried to talk to CBS/Paramount and was making progress when the 'gung-ho' attorney, Ms. Erin Ranahan from Winston & Strawn, persuaded me we could win this lawsuit; and settle with CBS and Paramount to get Axanar made. I did my part by personally getting JJ Abrams and Justin Lin on board and involved; and I thought JJ had worked out a deal that he announced at the Star Trek Beyond fan event. In the end though I wish I'd never listened to her, and continued with my own negotiations. I'm SURE they would have worked if she hadn't butted in and made me fight the lawsuit. I KNEW better because after all, I AM a lawyer by training...all she did was complete law school and pass the Bar...what does she know?..."
If he signs a settlement, can he go back and sue W&S? Wouldn't accepting the settlement imply he resolved his issues with their performance? Wouldn't he have to fire them and get another attorney in order to assert they are liable?
Under California law, malpractice requires proof that a plaintiff "would have obtained a more favorable result" in the prior litigation "but for" the attorney's negligence. Read into that what you will.
I wouldn't put it past AP to try. He's trained as an attorney, you know.
Oh, really? I had not heard that. Next you'll tell me he has been stashing cash!

huh. Say.. I just had the question pop up about Rand being provided with text to post with no evidence of its veracity.
Mr. Johnson, (if you ever read this thread).... is this one of the posts you were given instructions on what to say with no evidence provided for you of its veracity beyond the defendant's word?

Video?Between the now defunct gofundme campaign to raise cash for LFIM and that video of LFIM blaming everyone except Boomer the cat ....
‘BAD CALL’ Producer Alec Peters told a Los Angeles Comic Con panel he regretted how money he raised for Axanar led to mission creep and a ‘bad call’ on a three-year lease on a warehouse he had built into a commercial studio. Read more, watch the video »
Thanks.
Is Mr Johnson another ex-Axanut who has seen the light and now spews the same high level of vitriol on his old friends and he used to spew on paying donors and the like? Nice. What a human being.
I don't think you can trust guys like that, same as Friend Terry. It may well be convenient that they've switch sides and, sure, pillage them for information (as it appears is happening) but I personally could never write off the chances of them switching back, should the right offer come along.
Update on Settlement Talks — In new statement, Peters says settlement depends on satisfying Axanar fans. Meanwhile, no progress toward settlement after Friday conference call with judge, though both sides are still talking. Read more »
