There’s been a tremendous amount of outgassing among the turds floating in Elon’s cybercesspool the last two weeks, so please permit me this chance to offer a coherent adult update.
Attention Conservation Notice:
If you’re not annoyed by the end, I’m not doing my job correctly.
History:
James “Pissboy” McGibney, so named for this 2014 David Kushner article, is a federal informant, as you can see from this affidavit filed on his behalf by Special Agent Walker Wicevich. His observed behavior is consistent with that of a “vulnerable Dark Triad” and that jibes with his childhood abuse. There’s additional background information in Probable Pissposting.
Narrative:
McGibney, hereafter “Pissboy”, has been trying to establish a narrative to the effect that I somehow “lost” in Texas. He seems to think this is a chance to restore the mojo he had after shutting down Hunter Moore. It is not.
A better read on the situation would be …
I won a precedent setting 1st Amendment case based on the Texas Citizens Participation Act.
Pissboy’s actions were adjudicated “intentional and malicious” - that means any libel claim would go directly to collections, he can’t escape via bankruptcy.
The judge is either corrupt, or facing extortion, as evidenced by the four years of delay he introduced in the final damages hearing.
The “final” result violates the spirit of the law and the clear instructions of the second court of appeals, which ruled in six weeks last year.
The $205 appellate fee was paid for the fourth trip to appellate court, but mysteriously there is no docketing filing, nor has a lawyer entered an appearance.
Operations of law are malleable when one has top quality counsel and they’re given a long trail of … curiosities with which to work.
Money:
Pissboy can’t bankrupt out of this, and while a garnishment would be satisfying, it’s not sufficient to “make me whole”.
The judge’s rulings may put his personal finances in the target zone. Again, satisfying only if he’s willfully misused his position, and not all that much money.
Pissboy lost the initial $600k in development money for a reality TV show he had fourteen years ago, plus a whole bunch of legal fees over conflict with me, as well as dealing with libel claims targeting his thinly disguised revenge porn/extortion operation known as CheaterVille. Satisfying, but not profitable.
Today I have a claim, which is already adjudicated in my favor, should anyone be so foolish as to put more money on the table. This post exists to speak to the poor bastard tasked with due diligence. Hi there …
The deep pockets here belong to the organizer of the conspiracy, the USDOJ. You can read my OIG complaint against the Dallas FBI field office for a summary. Pissboy has been humping my leg at their behest since late 2012, which adds up to a decent retirement savings.
Externalities:
There’s been a lot of chatter about people I only know vaguely, events in which I did not participate, and in general there’s an over the top Filing A Conjunction vibe. My Twitter presence was abandoned in a very final fashion a year ago. I recently handed off the duty of reading alerts in my name to someone else, so I can focus on things that matter.
And that is the end of that.
Conclusion:
OK, due diligence dude (or dudette), you are now appropriately briefed. The glitter in the creek bed is iron pyrite, there’s a hungry cougar lurking in the brush, and the natives are restless.
What could possibly go wrong?
