Good thing there's a lawyer around who specializes in indulging lost causes for clients with an axe to grind and cash to burn, eh?
That really does seem to be the common thread in his high-profile cases.
even champions for the cause need champions in court
 
This is his only opportunity to redeem this in any way.

It's obvious from the weasel words he had Waid put in his declaration that he was aware of these business trips to Texas, and no reasonable person would view a person in the comic book business attending a comic book conference and giving "free" signatures (but only if you bought something) as anything but commercial. This wasn't a fucking vacation.

Instead of being candid about it, he weaseled around, buried shit in parentheses, and otherwise downplayed it and Waid explicitly lied in saying he had essentially not spoken a word about Meyer while in Texas, despite having in fact defamed and generally bad-mouthed him publicly.

Given that based on his Twitter follies, it is transparently clear that it is Zaid playing the clever nursery school level word games that would seem to be deliberate perjury, how is the Texas Lawyer (s) going to take that? What is the potential exposure to them? While Zaid pretty much openly and publicly admitted to being familiar with Waid’s Texas business dealings, I suspect that the Texas hired guns may not have been. At least I would hope they weren’t aware of such. Just on the basis of most local lawyers operate under the golden rule of “don’t take a shit on the desk of the Judge you will have to appear in front of for the next case”. I wonder if they are even aware of the perjurous discrepancy yet?
 
They will be when Byrne et al file an opposition to their silly ass motion.

That should be an entertaining read.

This whole thing really is far more entertaining than anything Waid has written in decades. Which is the real shame. Unlike the modern pink haired milkshake brigade, Waid actually could tell a real good story at one point. His Flash run might be the characters all time best. Now, he is like the Willy Loman of comic writing.
 
Ya Boi got another big donation. $11,000 this time. But with that, should it be over 110k? Did more donations vanish?

I have to say i'm just so happy that Zaid turned out to be a disingenuous sperg of an attorney, this is like the Maddox case but if Landui was engaging in the social media shitflinging

Funny, considering the FBI is probably one of the most corrupt and untransparent (if that is a word) organisations today. Just look at the whole Strzok debacle. Would not be surprised if that was the tip of the iceberg.

The word you was looking for is "opaque".

It is remarkable how much money you can make shovelling back the tide.
In the end you need to get out while the getting is good. Not very honorable, but then, there's no honor among lawyers.
 
Nicky Rackets pointed out something from Waid/Zaid’s own motion that sorta maybe points to perjury in Waid’s affidavit

That bit from the screenshot isn't from the motion. It's from this Bounding Into Comics article which is in turn quoting this podcast from June (MP3 version). ETA: The "publisher here in Texas" bit starts at 20:58. The question he's responding to and the rest of his response begins at 18:16, though due to how the mics are set up, it's difficult to hear the question.

Funny how 3) has 10K views and 1) has 1.6K
Well, check the publish times of both videos - not really fair to compare. ETA: Ninjaed.

Waid put the last nail in his coffin with this rant.

"Before we burn his place to the ground," metaphorical or not, is a clear statement that he was threatening to destroy the business unless they broke the law and breached the contract with Meyer.

And right before it, he admitted he was completely aware Antarctic was in Texas. He also was physically in Texas at the time, on business, which he explicitly denies in the affidavit.

He not only blows his current jurisdictional arguments out of the water, he blows any arguments he had that he wasn't improperly interfering with the contract. He tried to worm around the perjury in the affidavit with bullshit parenthetical statements, but he was very, very explicit he didn't know that Antarctic was in Texas.

That's a relevant statement of fact material to the decision over whether the court has personal jurisdiction. That is to say, that is PERJURY.

"Nice business you got there. Be a shame if someone BURNED IT TO THE GROUND." Nice choice of words there, Waid. You just had to be the big swinging dick, didn't you? Not a good look for a simpering little soy faced cuck doughball piece of shit.

Hope it was worth it.

Beautiful. :popcorn:
 
Does Zaid even have a daughter? I've haven't seen confirmation one way or the other.
Nick remarked that he is not married and does not have children during the livestream, but I don't know where he got that info. It may just been drunken ranting. He was comparing Zaid and Waid and calling them both failures for being unable to attract a wife and have children at their ages.
 
Probably super :late:, but is the Calder test applicable to this case, and if so, wouldn't it be next to impossible for Waid to disprove it? I mean, (1) I assume TI is an intentional tort, (2) Waid uniquely or expressly targeted TX when he called AP, and (3) Waid knew or should've known that the harm from his act would be felt in TX.
I can see why Waid is attempting to plead ignorance on the location, but in the end all he's doing is perjuring himself. (:powerlevel: Im just learning about personal jurisdiction in CivPro, so this is a really helpful way for me to apply the elements)
