Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Not to hijack the thread but this is a really great movie. If anyone hasn't seen it, it's worth a watch.
This movie is so great, I watch the meeting clips on YouTube all the time.

I worked in that industry during that period and it's pretty accurate too.

He doesn't actually know shit. He just regurgitates whatever he copied off of Wikipedia.
I just watched it. It was pretty good, but the parts where they're looking at the numbers and being like "woah... does this say what I think it says" is pretty cliche and unrealistic. I'm guessing the realization of how exposed they were to risk from MBSs would have taken longer to sink in and been much more boring and filled with jargon.
The parts about the traders destroying their relationships with other traders by dumping their shit off was more interesting and seemed more realistic.

I don't know. The fundamentals of a lot of those securities were total horseshit and were hieroglyphs to most management types and even traders. The quants like gay Spock's character were more likely to see what was coming.
Absolutely to the second part. The (unnamed) firm in the movie must've been based on Goldman.
If you ever want to listen to a fat man rephrase the first paragraphs of a few simplified wikipedia articles, boy have I got a convention for you.
He has a costanza level willingness to lie and misrepresent himself for self promotion

Yeah, I just don't buy that a math geek that none of the decision-makers knew the name of would be able to single-handedly convince them to liquidate a ton of assets at a huge loss. It would have made more sense if the Stanley Tucci character was still with the firm and the one to raise the alarm.

Sure but it's a movie and they needed to make it more dramatic. And obviously Tucci's character did the legwork and needed to "disappear" for the subplot with Bettany's character.

It might've been more realistic if Stanley Tucci wasn't fired and he had gay Spock and Gossip Girl dude come into his office to look at a spreadsheet. Tucci: "I've been trying to tell the British Marvel Avenger guy about this shit for months, but he hates wops. Can one of you Jews go talk to him?"
Does anyone know of a subreddit where they could actually critique his starship design?
You mean dildo? I have yet to see a real cock shaped spaceship-- closest I have seen to it are the UFO's that are kind of shaped like cigars.
Then you need to keep an eye on Jeff Bezo's company, because he's produced a fuckin' doozy.
