CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

I'm actually surprised that there haven't been more posts on IMDB from the guy with many names that swore he had information that initially everyone at STC and Farragut were a gang of crooks and should be shut down, and then eventually Phase II got on his bad side.

Also surprised there aren't more memes flying about with dear Mr. Peters posing as Max Bialystock.
 
Krusty was/is a sophisticated villain. Alec is too simple minded to pull off anything sophisticated. His basic philosophy is "I'm great, and people should give me money to compensate me for my greatness."

Ok, let me see if I have this right.

"the money I pay myself" = Axanar Productions paying Alec a salary
"I pay rent to myself" = Propworx paying rent to Axanar Productions

Impression sought: Propworx company occupies space in the Axanar Productions building. It pays rent for that space to Axanar Productions.

OTOH, the statement says: some of the fan donated money which is personally paid to Alec by Alec is allocated to pay Propworx rent, through some undisclosed mechanism.

So how does this payment from Alec to Alec get into the Propworx financials, and why would that even be done? And is Propworx itself actually paying to Axanar Productions corp-corp, or is this just some sort of 'withholding' from Alec's salary, or is even part of what he calls salary, or is it some other cashflow he pays himself?

This argument of integrity all hinges on whether "Propworx rent" is burdening the 38k$ "salary", as Alec implies. Is Alec taking a hit on his 38k$ salary to pay the Propworx rent? Is this at all realistic, if Propworx were paying a reasonable business rent?

Or is this rent, whatever it is, a paper-only cashflow on the side from the 38k, essentially == the donors paying the Propworx rent, and Alec has failed to disclose this cashflow as part of what he is here calling "the money he pays himself" (note, the word "salary" not used, a more tortuous alternative phrase is used)?

Alec pled his salary was less than poverty level, without mentioning that he might be paying Propworx rent out of it. It seems a bit peculiar it never came up in his public statements about what he gives up for Axanar.

And besides, Propworx is a business. Alec has indicated no qualms with going in the red with Propworx business expenses in the past. So why would he this time around personally be paying the Propworx rent out of his Axanar Productions salary, instead of from the Propworx assets?

Something is strange about his claim. Its too complicated, it dances around the two companies actually having any concretely stated business relationship. It avoids saying that Propworx itself pays anything. Is anything actually being paid by Propworx as a corporate entity? Or is it all some handwaving inside the Axanar books? Wonder what the books say.
