CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Status
Not open for further replies.
Axanar management says they are impaneling a board of "experts" to release a commentary on the spending which will "prove it was all done responsibly and Alec did not take a cent".

Even if nothing went to Alec's own pocketbooks, pissing away over a million bucks and only producing the Vulcan scene and the "waves upon the firmament" pew-pew trailer is not responsible spending. It must be a little cold in Southern California because the only other way to waste that much money is to burn it in a fireplace.
 
And in my continuing cyberstalker tradition, I've done an infographic depicting the convoluted connections between Alec Peters’ Georgia business concerns, his Atlanta attorney and his California companies that I first detailed in a September article that now includes a link to a PDF version of the graphic annotated with hyperlinks.
Hey, that gives me an idea for a board game: AXANOPOLY, a no-profit game of stolen IP and sushi cupcakes. :techman:
 
--All the principals have testified under oath.
--All the witnesses have testified under oath.
--All the evidence available has been entered under oath.
--Plaintiffs and defendants attorneys have summed up their sides in written documents to the judge about why they're right and the other side is wrong.

I laughingly agree with Mr. Lane that we're in the part with the attorneys rebutting each others summaries:
“Did!”
“Did not!”
“Did too!”

jespah, oswriter, axamonitor, fff explain it in more detail.

Oh yeah, and there's this:

The legally entered into evidence numbers show the production is broke:
Money IN: $1,428,902.43
Money OUT: $1,433,003.67

Where did the money go? Which seems to be itemized in some of the legal papers but the defense, attorney & defendant, are insisting this information needs to be kept secret from the public. Ms. Ranahan says it's because it would embarrass the defendant.

Fun.

What is the significance of the green boxes? They aren't in the key.

Candyland colors!

PS My pleasure @Csalem @ThankYouGeneR et al. I'm trying! I have looked up a lot of stuff to refresh my recollection, I admit. This case has dug up traumatic law school and legal practice memories and I am heavily medicating myself with pie.
 
Axanar management says they are impaneling a board of "experts" to release a commentary on the spending which will "prove it was all done responsibly and Alec did not take a cent".

In the meantime, Axanar fights to absolutely prevent any details of spending from becoming public.

In the mean-meantime, one of the exhibits showed Axanar in grand total has spent everything plus a little more. Another details a long list of expenses taken by Alec and granted to associates. Including, if I read commentary from FB correctly, a trip overseas to play Warhammer on donor money.

And then there was the cupcakes.
Axanar management conveniently leaves out when this expert panel will convene, as well as such niggling details as who will choose them, how their independence will be guaranteed and precisely what records they will be allowed to examine. Not to mention how this all will be paid for.

With a goal of building studios and collecting license fees atop IP of various creators and finishing as savior showrunner of the production game, Axanopoly provides years of non-productive pleasure for sleep deprived children of all ages.

Each pass by "GO" earns perks AND salary! One person can elect to be the Banker and Auctioneer as well as play! And the Bank never runs out of money, it can have donors print more money at any time!!

Each player gets a token crowdfunded project plan via which they traverse a path strewn with intellectual properties ready for "fair use" warehouses and studio construction. Set your sights high, on primo locations with large audiences! Don't get stuck building your empire on Major Matt Mason Mall!

Cupcake edition extras!!:
- all properties already have studios, but you can say you don't have to pay rent and you can build your own studio there anyway! At least until they sue you [see extended gameplay chapter].
- the Banker can mix the donor money reserve with their personal budget under the table for as long as no one notices!
- Unimproved properties Coffeeshop and Unlicensed Merchandise Store add opportunities for the Enterprising!
- "Income Tax", "Bankruptcy" and "Jail" are REAL, so be sure to throw your dice carefully!

It appears LFIM is starting to hock items from his personal collection on the Donor Store...........

(with this desperation starting to set in, I wonder whether Reese will finally come up for air at some point.......)

I think dude is a total dick and con artist, yet there's part of me that feels badly for him. I don't know why?
Maybe because you're a better person then he appears to be? If these items being cleared out represent a certain level of desperation on behalf of Peters then I don't think there's anything funny about it, even if he is to blame for his current predicament.

When the invites for his "Warhammer weekend" began circulating online I mentioned on here that reading them made me warm to him slightly as his enthusiasm and sheer earnestness about his interest in Warhammer I found endearing. It also helped me understand how so many people fell under the spell, it's infectious.
 
The man would make an amazing salesman. I'll give him that. Having worked in sales, I can see right through it. But it doesn't mean he wouldn't be amazing at it. As an independent producer, he just doesn't cut it as he has no accountability.
