Summary

In this bonus episode, we pick up where we left off, diving into the events leading up to the much-anticipated August 24th contempt of court hearing involving Patrick Tomlinson. In our previous episode, we shared the suspenseful build-up to this critical date, where Patrick faced potential jail time for failing to pay the legal fees of the opposing party. In our last interview. Patrick had made it clear that he had no intention of making the required payment. So, what happened on August 24th contempt of court hearing? Patrick showed up with his attorney, and so did one of his relentless tormentors, Dan Mullen, who shared his account of a tense courtroom encounter. Intriguingly, Patrick filed a motion just days before the hearing, outlining his demands to the court. He requested a postponement and a closed, private hearing held over video conferencing due to safety concerns. This was in response to online chatter suggesting some of his foes planned to attend in person. But the drama didn't end there. Patrick made a bold claim in his motion, alleging the identity of his online nemesis, "quasi101," and hinting at a familial connection to a federal judge, all without providing any evidence. However, the outcome of the hearing surprised many. Both sides agreed on a payment, and Patrick paid the court-ordered debt, amounting to $32,709.80, satisfying this particular legal obligation. The big question now: Does this payment signify a truce in this long-standing online feud? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Creative battle.
0:06.1	All right, in part four of the past, I kind of left you hanging, right?
0:10.4	I had mentioned that in August 24th, Patrick Thompson was doing court for a
0:14.9	content of court hearing because you know, he had not paid a single cent
0:19.3	towards the legal fees of the opposing party. And because of that, he, you know,
0:24.9	if he didn't pay, he was in content of court and he would go to jail.
0:28.2	But what actually happened? Well, a couple of days leading up to August 24th,
0:34.8	Patrick Thompson filed a motion in court and it appears that he wrote it himself. And in that
0:42.1	motion, Patrick Thompson requested the court push the hearing, not only push the hearing,
0:48.5	but close the hearing to the public so that people from the public could not attend.
0:54.1	He also requested it to be over video conferencing because he said that
0:59.6	some of the pests have been posting online that they had already bought tickets and they were
1:03.5	planning on attending. So for safety reasons. But there was one more demand that Patrick Thompson made
1:10.5	in this motion. And let me read it to you. He says that he wants to continue the hearing
1:16.6	until the plaintiff identifies himself for the record, which was Patrick's plan all along,
1:22.6	right? Remember, he sued the administrator of the forum and some of their members because he
1:30.0	wanted to expose the real identity so that maybe he could press charges against them. So now he's
1:37.8	saying we can't have this hearing until the plaintiff identifies himself. Patrick Thompson,
1:44.0	in this motion, it appears to relitigate a lot of the things that he that was discussed in court
1:51.1	previously, right? And remember, this is a content of court hearing. This is about the fact that
1:55.2	Patrick Thompson has not paid the legal fees of the other side. This is not a court hearing to
