i can't speak for Joe, but from the one case (the only case i know anybody in) and the only two people in that case i know personally, both were wrong, and mistakes easily avoided if any investigation had ever been done. how could an investigator say that one has 2 systems when one only exists? they never saw a second.....ever.
how could an investigator say one moves and does shows at other bars when the system has never left and he only works at his wifes bar? they never saw him running it elsewhere.....ever. so in this case i agree with Joe, unless someone can explain to me how an investigator could have seen these things happening when they did not. HarringtonLaw has avoided these questions from me, so if someone else can see a way, i will retract my statement and apologize to all involved.

I am not intentionally avoiding your questions.

1) I don't know the specifics of the defendants you're referring to, but I'd be happy to look into them. As you might imagine, I deal with a lot of defendants. Please send the names to me by PM (so I can be sure to see them; you might also post them on here, too) and I'll do my best to find out what happened and answer your questions. If there has been a settlement in either instance, I cannot guarantee that I can talk about it, but I'll let you know that and see if I can answer more generally.

2) As a more general matter, we might list in a complaint that a KJ has 2 systems if that KJ has made public statements (website, for example) that indicate two simultaneous shows, even if we haven't been to both shows. I think you'll agree with me that you can't run two simultaneous shows without having two systems. On the other scenario, I won't speculate because there are a lot of different reasons--including investigator error--that might explain it.

for what it is worth, and to keep you updated, Michael Michael's case has been dismissed.

neither of us were able to figure out how they got labled as multi-riggers. they have never had 2 shows on one night, nor have they ever advertised 2 shows on one night. no mistake that way could have been made. something as simple stupid as 2 shows on one night would have been cleared up with a quick search on google. someone signed under penalty of perjury that he has 2 shows on the same night.....and nothing will happen to him. if there are no penalties, what is the motivation to be honest?

as for Red Onion, this just boggles my mind just as much.
