I'd be wary of this because the head of goons in Eve is absolutely up for doxxing teenagers and ironically-not-ironically acting like that makes him an IRL intelligence officer.

In-game, where he was mostly a figurehead. Very little of the job actually required him to log in to the game so giving up the position is meaningless if he just rules from jabber/discord. I didn't really keep up with eve much after that but I know some "SA Goons™" formed their own corp because of it.

For the folks that missed the drama, Mittani is a sex pest. He defended a known pedo for several years and booted anybody that criticized him for it "for causing drama." His local kink community put out warnings not to let him get physically close at events.

I know you mean "staying out of the public eye" but I got a little giggle thinking about a 7'1" man that has been on TV for 30 years (I went and checked, he was drafted to the NBA in 1992) trying to hide behind a tree or wearing a costume to go incognito.

That's an amazing picture.

But like, can you just avoid a lawsuit in the US indefinitely by being physically unreachable in terms of being served the papers? That seems somewhat exploitable for people who might be rich enough to just hide inside a large property and have other people do their shopping for them.

For a certain period of time, sure. In practice, they're required to try and serve you personally several times, and if they document that you're unreachable after several reasonable attempts, the judge will typically authorize papers being left at your home or place of business, or sent through certified mail. Failure to acknowledge these will get you a default judgement.

The head of scientology tried to do this iirc, and after a while the judge ruled that his efforts to avoid being served showed that he knew there was a lawsuit against him and it could proceed.

Why not put service on Ethereum? You could send a contract with 2 functions, acknowledge and ignore. Ignore would simply do the same thing as acknowledge.

i don't know how i really feel about the celeb endorsements. on the one hand.. don't listen to celebs, they probably don't use the items they promote anyways.. on the other.. they probably should have known better.

those youtube promoters though.. feel like they definitely should have some blame for this. it's unfortunate that they're only being used because of FTX and not because of other scams.

At the end of the day it mostly comes down to if they tried to give you specific financial advice.

I suspect that some of the social media people are a lot more open to that particular accusation than Matt Damon calling you a pussy for not buying crypto in general.

yeah it would strike me as likely celebs had lawyers involved who made sure that their endorsement was generic and non-actionable, but social media influencers would have done stupid poo poo

that said, it is likely that celebs have real money to go after and social media influencers do not

Are you talking about tiktok and youtube influencer types, or actual advertisements on TV?

Because the rules around what you can do re: endorsements are pretty firm and it's rare to find anyone crossing that line in an actual broadcast advertisement. You can tell people they should put their 401k with Schwab all day long, and you can even tell them they should buy all the crypto and NFTs they can get their hands on, but the second you say "you should buy THIS stock/bond/monkey jpeg" you get into some really deep waters, really fast.

edit: and yes, lots of people play a bit fast and loose with this calling it an editorial or whatever, see: Jim Cramer. I still can't quite figure out how the "this program is totally not financial advice, OK, now let me give you half an hour of financial advice" disclaimer is OK, but then I'm not a lawyer or a money surgeon or whatever.

"These are not drugs, do not ingest them" I say as I pull five kilos of cocaine, a pound of marijuana, and a full blotter of LSD out for my discerning customers to peruse. "By the way, the weed is some really good poo poo, so if one was to smoke it they'd go for a loving wild ride. But don't do that. Anyways that'll be $50 for an 8th but believe me it's worth it. For non-smoking, not-getting-high purposes only."

The better question would be: "Would I have made more money by doing exactly the opposite of what he suggested?" At some point the advise is so bad that shorting anything he endorses would make you more cash.

crypto is one of the few areas where I’d expect the Venn diagram of “stupid enough to say actionable things,” “wealthy enough to be worth suing,” and “does not have/listen a lawyer before speaking” has significant overlap in the middle.
