After settling with the studios in part that he would not use crowdfunding for Axanar, he
- ran a crowdfund for 'the studio itself' to fund it through at least the end of the year.
- He got nothing near the amount to cover his rent, so he invited the donors to 'vote' whether it should be used for moving/storing the Axanar sets (notice how close this comes to 'for Axanar' - just he left this part out until after the funding project was over)
- signed away all the donor-paid improvements to the studio in exchange for being let out of his lease and an agreement that he could film there at a discounted rate
- moved everything to a smaller facility 10s of miles out of Atlanta
- *then* announced that shooting the remains of Axanar would be done in California, thus not using the sets he just used the kickstarter to move to Atlanta
- announced that after the 2*15 mins episodes, Axanar Productions (the channel for all the donor money) would be shut down as "having served its purpose"
- announced that he was "open sourcing" the Axanar story to his fanbase to make their own films to complete the story (which both violates copyright and the guidelines about no series productions)
- announced that although they would be moving on to other things, they would still be hosting an "Axacon"
- made some sort of deal with a media firm as a sponsor of some sort for his future 'studio' (another unimproved smaller warehouse).
And somewhere relatively recently along the way after the settlement he pitched Axanar to staff of JPL and got them all excited and wanting to show his film there.
Did JPL happen? Is the sponsor still there? Did he tell them about the lawsuit?
Who knows. But sue Carlos over a graphic, that's where to focus.
