Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I actually agree. A few years ago I had somebody from online world turn up at my house. They ran around in the garden outside. It was... surreal.

That said, though, I figure the doc is going to be useful to people at that group. I'll pull it from the site after a few days, I think, and set it so archive.org and Google can't get to it.

There's some odd shit in that document. For a start, you can see how much all the Whedonverse actors get paid as it's in the accounts. Bruce Campbell is well cheap!

Christian Kane and Brand X Management are codebtors? huh?

What is even happening?

I noticed Brand X registered a LiveJournal account and posted at that be-vicitims LJ (which I keep thinking is 'be-screwed'). I knew I knew Brand X. I couldn't remember why.

it feels like 2001 all over again.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I've had assistance with the personal address data in the Petition for bankruptcy, and we've been back and removed the personal addresses from the online copy.

Also, I've spoken to a legal person about the documents today. They've had a look, and they think there's some real issues with the petition.

I really feel torn about the issue. I think the fans deserve more than $4 each back, but it'd mean making the owners liable personally for a lot of the money. Hohum.

So? I thought the owners deliberately defrauded the fans. Shouldn't they be personally liable?

Well, I've no idea if it was deliberate, but they certainly lost the fans a lot of money. They owe 'bout $300k and a bit, though -- I know if I ended up with a bill for that it'd cost me everything.

I passed the information I had to the detective and via legal peeps to the bankruptcy court a few days ago. It's up to them to do their thing.

WOLFRAM!!! I miss your font. I'm not so sure these people did anything deliberately. On the face of it, it looks like things were terribly mismanaged and then there may have been some huge denial going on. Who knows, though?

How are you? How's your family?

Missed you too, Cindy. Well my new job was keeping me really busy. NSM, since I was let go. Hooray for severance!

On the plus side, I have several possibilities coming up, and an absolute and open offer from my old firm to return at my most recent salary. (Place apparently has been falling apart in my absence.) So now I'm taking a few weeks to clear my head, figure out my career goals, and check in on my Buffistas.

Family is great, but with 4 kids under 8 there's never a dull moment.

So, what did I miss?

Wolfram, long time no see.

I'm really confused - not at the recent developments, but from the start. For the people who paid with CCs - isn't that kind of the point of CCs that you can do chargebacks in a situation like this?
