So Sabat has TWO project he is sinking money into?
 
I never said VP didn't stand for Vice President. I agree, "Vice Principal" is not a title you confer - that's my entire point. It's not a title, because it's a de facto corporate status specifically within a legal context. It seems like you understand that, but I'm not sure everyone that has been participating in the conversation fully understands that. Chiefly indicative of this, Sabat is theorized to fit this because he is an owner of Okratron.

From my understanding, you don't have to be an employee of a company to be considered a vice principal if you're making hiring and firing decisions. Sabat may contract with Funimation, but if they confer with him on who to hire (and fire) for productions, then that would make him a vice principal
 
Going to go out on a limb here and say Renfield is Dominique Skye. The fact that she got busted trying to do a gay OP on KC proves that she has some insider access/information due to the fact that she somehow got her hands on a KC guest pass. She's also seems like a very unintelligent which means most likely she was playing the role of an useful idiot for that said gay OP so it's also very unlikely she think's she's a target for the upcoming lawsuits at all. The best reasoning for her being Renfield is of all the possible suspects she was the only one from the original Igor list that is on the possible Renfield list.

If I'm wrong at the bare minimum I think she'll get deposed because of that gay OP she attempted to do. Little conspiratorial but I highly doubt isn't at least tangentially connected to anyone or anything.

My suspicion also keep in mind Ty does pick these names for a specific reason. Skye does feed off the attention of her White Knights, the attention her daughter gives aka look at my hot mom bod after having a baby, the attention of her little clique, the attention she gets at Cons, and the attention the Kickvic movement have givin her from the start. She's feeds off this attention like a modern day Renfield in a sense.
 
No and that is why I said wouldn't that be something. It has been mentioned that these VAs have some bad skeletons floating around and I threw it out there. My only other link is Skye and Sabot seem close by their tweets and photos.
 
  • Sad pathetic little human being
  • Does all the dirty work
  • Thinks Iago will hire legal protection for him
  • Igor will not be in R1 of the lawsuits
  • Does not like Iago
  • Does not know they are Igor
Igor is a bit more tricky to figure out than Renfield since we don't have a lot to go on.


At this time I'm working off the assumption that Chris Sabat is Lago. It's a pretty safe assumption at this point.

  • Has done something or has a history of doing embarrassing shit.
  • They have to be a person that's easy to manipulate or a slave to their ideological or social agenda to do someone's dirty work.
  • a. Not wealthy enough to pay for their own legal protection (rules out Adam Sheenan and Sean Schemmel). b. Stupid enough to fall to think lago will pay for protection for him/her. (See reasons 2 and 3a)
  • Not in round 1 so it rules out a good bunch of potential candidates.
  • Does not like lago. This further proves Chris Sabat is lago because he has pissed of a lot of co-workers over years and has gotten into several twitter slapfights with them. Igor is most likely a fellow Funimation employee who has built up some resentment for him. Unfortunately this is a double edge-sword while it narrows down lago it even widens the field of who Igor can be.
  • In order for this person to think they aren't going to get dragged into this litigation they must have:
- Not spend much time in the limelight during the initial #kickvic phase back in January-February.
- Considers themselves not a high valued target.
- Went DFE relatively quickly so they think they are immune prosecution.

The only person I know that can point to this is:
Samantha Inoue-Hart



Animator, Translator, Investigator
Works for Funimation and others
Fat
Currently in DFE mode on Social Media

674113


(Picture shown in Landscape as Vertical mode is unable to truly capture her)


Why her?
  1. She faked a swatting to prove #IstandWithVic people harass her. Thats pretty pathetic and sad to me for attention
  2. This fat whale bitch thinks you should #listenAndBeileve all victims and asking for evidence is harassment. (And no I'm not joking, she literally said this.)
  3. As I stated in the points above she's pretty fucking stupid and that goes without saying but unfortunately I can't really prove she's a person that's easy to manipulate. However, there is a pattern of certain people running (and failing) gay ops on the #IstandWithVic side. If my Renfield theory is correct then who's to say she also wasn't told by Chris Sabat & Co to do this?
  4. Not in round 1.
  5. She's worked in Funimation as an Translator, Animator and more importantly an Investigator.
  6. She did her stupid GayOP and then when she got caught and found out she went DFE mode immediately. She probably thinks she was forgotten about but the internet never forgets.
I would gauge that the likelihood Samantha Inoue-Hart is Igor is around 15-20% tops. Considering she went DFE mode from the get-go there isn't much info that can be pulled but she is the only candidate that comes closest that I can think of that can match Igor's description.
 
My guesses for the trio as it stands are:

Iago - Adam Sheehan. I've mentioned my reasoning for this before, but I think the new project one fits in that, considering High Guardian Spice and other projects CR might have. Those cost more than a home rennovation, and might be more heavily impacted by a lawsuit.

Igor - Currently Chris Sabat, though the mention of new evidence being enough to include Iago in r1 if they wanted to does hint that he might be Iago and they received the KC texts. However, until confirmation, it might be anything, so I gotta stick with Chris not lining up with Iago and is therefor Igor.

Renfield - Sean Schemmel. I think he's sad and pathetic enough that he wouldn't consider the possibility that he would never consider he might be on the list. However, we do know that he has a history of leaning on cons and being super petty about booting people he doesn't like out of jobs - and that he dislikes Vic. I think Nick and Ty have used masculine pronouns for all three, so I'm discounting Skye.

DC Douglas I think is a secondary suspect for any of the three though. I could see him lining up with any of them.

I thought they just stole that from their customers and gave it to a bunch of dangerhairs who immediately stole it and left and that it isn't an ongoing thing.

Does anybody know if she's been going on about confidential investigations on twitter ala La Choy? Because early on she also held herself out to be a Funimation employee / agent. Pretty sure people figured out that she was just a cosTHOT and she denied agency faster than La Choy though.

Iago - Adam Sheehan.
I've seen some of your reasoning on your guesses before, but can you explain why you think Sheehan ranks over Sabat? From what I've heard Sabat thinks he's king shit (especially in the Texas VA scene) so why would he be doing this guys bidding?

I think Iago is Sabat and Schemmel is one of igor/renfield given his history. It's hard to speculate due to how little information we have on the lower two. Sheehan might be one of them, but the other night Ty seemed to have no idea what crunchyroll is, he could have been acting of course, but it looked like explaining tech to a boomer to me (Nick should have just explained it as anime Netflix).

I would have to disagree with you on all three for the following reasons:
Iago -
Adam Sheenan gay anime project was funding by misappropriated funds from crunchyroll subscribers so none of the money is coming out of his pocket so it wouldn't make much sense for Nick to say that he may loose that funding. It was never his in the first place. Also Adam Sheenan is not an Funimation employees or agents of Funimation. Adam Sheenan does have a lot of ties and connections there since he's worked there for 10+ years but it wouldn't make sense for Ty's law firm to go after him.

Was he connected or influenced Funimation Staff into firing Vic in some way? Maybe.
But as far as we know he isn't directly implicated or even indirectly implicated in any legal misconduct unlike Sabat (along with Monica), which we know for a fact he tried to twist the arm of KC to not re-invite Vic which has led to the infamous "Torturous Interference" claim. Also all of Iago's motivations and actions align squarely on Chris Sabat.

Igor-
It's almost impossible to me that Sabat is Igor. It doesn't line up for any of his motivations or actions he has done so far. Chris Sabat likes to be one step remove from any blatant idocity and attempts to play the "Neutral/Good Guy" in public but in reality he acts like a pussy from a far trying to influence people and fuck with situations from the backround. He'll never do any of the dirty work himself. On top of that, Chris's networth is the largest of all main characthers in this shitshow so why would he think someone else will pay his legal fees? And I'm fairly certain Chris is aware that he may be a target of litigation since Nick went on a long rant about how much of a piece of shit he is for trying to fuck with KC.



Renfield -
It's unlikely Renfield be Sean Schemmel because Nick himself said that the identity of Renfield is someone kiwi's have suggested could be Igor. Sean Schemmel was never suggested as far as I'm aware but ya never know. Like I said there's little information on Renfield.

I'm going to throw in another angle of Sheehan's involvement:
- Crunchyroll's alleged "hit list." From what I understand, it's not the Broken Staircase list.
Yet, Vic and Todd are allegedly on it. Supposedly, it is related to the #WomenInAnime or #WomenOfAnime movement Crunchyroll is promoting.
- Sheehan might be using Crunchyroll's sponsorship as leverage with conventions against those on that list. He is the Director of Events, after all.

Now, is he Iago? Probably not. Our three individuals seem to be Funimation related, if anything. Still, Kiwis need to watch Crunchyroll's movements going forward.
 
Well might as well put my thoughts on who I think our possible cast of characters is here...

Iago-Probably Chris Sabat due to the whole home renovation project that lines up with Iago's apparent project pretty well.

Igor-Igor is apparently a sad figure, and when I think sad my mind does drift to Zach Bertschy at ANN, that guy is so lonely that he decided that getting pegged by his wife that went trans was better then being single well did... doesn't get much sadder than that.

Renfield-Oh boy our little wild card. We only know that it isn't Shane or The Blue Orca, and that they don't know that their Renfield. I'm just going to throw out some random guesses: Adam Sheehan, Miles Luna, and that's about all I have. Adam because he's been pushing stuff at Crunchy Roll and the whole Broken Staircase List, And Miles because he works at both Rooster Teeth and Crunchy Roll making him a valuable asset for Iago to have, and apparently Miles likes to make friends with everyone so... the chance is there.
