Keighin has confirmed publicly that he is aware of this lawsuit, even going so far as talking with a local news reporter from 9NEWS in his hometown. Following the subsequent publication of this 9NEWS report, it’s noted that Keighin did then start to delete “a substantial amount of his online posts relevant to this suit”.
Wow, the dude’s speedrunning an obstruction charge. I’m pretty sure destruction of evidence is a crime even for civil suits.
Screw this guy, and screw Nintendo’s lawyers as well.
Clickbait trash. He’s been avoiding getting served for a few weeks, and soon the court will allow to serve his mom instead, and nothing has been achieved. Hooray.
Eh, him going on the news talking about it will likely stand as evidence that he knows he’s being summoned.
I thought you have to be able to read the full summons to be legally considered as received. Not too familiar with US law though.
Where I’m from there’s a way of a public delivery if someone absconded, by posting it on the black board of the local city hall of someone’s current registered address for 4 weeks or something.
If they failed to change the registered address they’d also be committing a federal crime, so if they were to contest the lawful delivery, they’d admit another offense, landing them in jail where they could then be successfully served. So that would at best reset the timer at the expense of a felony.
I’m no expert on the process, but I’m pretty sure as long as the process server can attest that the papers were produced to the person being summoned. You don’t have to read it at all… The process server can just drop them in front of you and say “You’ve been served”.
I know that if you can’t be found alternate mechanisms exists, but usually requires attempting to exhaust all other avenues.
But the dude literally outright told the news he knows about it. I’m pretty sure that would be more than sufficient for the court to state that whatever mechanism they used to serve him was sufficient since he knew about it.
This is not a “win”
Why do people keep mucking with Nintendo when they know what Nintendo are like. Just ignore them and their games.
Headline makes it sound like he’s managed to get out of it somehow, but in fact he’s just literally been dodging being served; he’s still pretty fucked.
In fact, dodging while publicly saying that he knows he’s being sued is likely to actually fuck him harder once he is in court. And publicly saying that he’ll just go bankrupt and avoid paying them anything will also probably fuck him harder. He needs to get a lawyer and just shut the fuck up.
right? The court can decide a punishment can persist through bankruptcy, so him stating that’s his intention likely will promise that they have that exception added in the penalty phase.
“no your honor. That was not my account, it was an internet troll account.”
- guy who gets away with avoiding being served
this is why it’s imperative for servers to confirm identity and serve.
Wait,why is that? Getting sued for millions dollars? OK, yes,take all my money, here is 5 dollars. That’s all I have under my name.
Ever Heard of the bowser guy?
A situation could easily happen where they’re forced to pay a percentage of whatever they earn until it’s all paid off (which will be never).
Ah slavery okay a perfectly fine punishment in todays world
It wouldn’t be the first time Nintendo has had this
Yeah, avoiding being served is something no court is particularly keen on.
We are so lucky Nintendo sells shitty video games instead of health insurance. It could always be worse, folks.
But Sony does!
