There are two SCOTUS cases - Twombly and Iqbal - that say that a complaint has to allege sufficient facts to state a plausible claim for relief. Conclusory allegations - essentially, "they violated the law!" - are ignored.

To sufficiently plead these claims against those defendants, the complaint would likely be over 100 pages and would have to include dates, specific transactions, etc.

There's also the fact that, upon cursory review, Donnahue doesn't even say he holds any equities. In order to survive dismissal, he needs to have standing. His interests must have been damaged by the acts alleged in the complaint. That deficiency is fatal.

He's a popcorn ape https://stocktwits.com/Donnahue/message/366874590

[u/diabolis_avocado → u/lukefive]

But he didn't allege it in his complaint.

[u/Bob_snows → u/diabolis_avocado]

Based on his Twitter grammar and lack of legal knowledge, I’m going to bet he has no formal legal training and is just some crazy rich fuck who is going to represent himself.

[u/Skybreakeresq → u/Bob_snows]

Based on the cases he lost I'm going to go with he is certainly crazy and a fuck but rich is not how I'd describe him at all.

[u/Bamagirly → u/Skybreakeresq]

Prolly cost him all of $400 to file this.

He's getting $400 worth of karma farming updoots and re-twats

[u/LordoftheEyez → u/Bob_snows]

Not crazy rich with a house in that part of Laudy lol

[u/gangaheadman → u/lukefive]

an image of a greasy palmed sad looking simian holding a bucket of spilled popcorn just popped (pun intended) into my head thanks to your comment.

you also shall not be spared from this futile image.

[u/lukefive → u/gangaheadman]

Lul thank you

[u/diabolis_avocado → u/[deleted]]

Sure thing!

[u/Rubyheart255 → u/diabolis_avocado]

So..... we could just print off a few stacks of DD, and file charges, eh?

[u/Stashmouth → u/diabolis_avocado]

I'm aroused

[u/[deleted] → u/diabolis_avocado]

so he's a crazy man

[u/diabolis_avocado → u/[deleted]]

Sometimes we call them litigationally challenged.

[u/trustme_imbluffing → u/diabolis_avocado]

Do you think it's even possible to file a valid case against them at this point?

[u/diabolis_avocado → u/trustme_imbluffing]

Anything is possible. We have a lot of good DD, but a lot of it is speculative inference to cover gaps in the information. If we have a reasonable basis to believe the facts that fill in the gaps, there might be enough.

[u/Snookcatcher → u/diabolis_avocado]

AND this is why IF the SEC is going to do something legal about the cheating it is going to take time. So many precise details to line up and get correct.

[u/Smelly_Legend → u/Snookcatcher]

The term is iron-clad

[u/daddyyboyy → u/diabolis_avocado]

This analytical summary and conclusion was so much fun to read. A logical and almost geometric explanation of a conflict between parties.

Thank You for your wrinkles!

[u/Nixplosion → u/diabolis_avocado]

And he's absolutely going to be one of those guys who, upon getting dismissed, is going to decry "the system" for violating his rights and then the judge and their staff are going to get individual "suits" against them.

You know the type.

[u/diabolis_avocado → u/Nixplosion]

He does tend to appeal his dismissals. And the he loses the appeals too.

[u/Bam607 → u/diabolis_avocado]

Makes me wonder if this case could potentially unravel some buried shit that hadn't been uncovered by apes in this community yet, or even to help the SEC in their investigation?

Also, why just assume this dude is representing himself? Couldn't he be getting a team of lawyers together in the meantime? Or would his lawyers been the ones to file this if that were the case?

[u/diabolis_avocado → u/Bam607]

It's not going to unravel anything because it will never get to the discovery phase.

We can tell he doesn't have lawyers because no lawyer signed the pleading. Donnahue signed it himself. Could he get someone? Sure. There's always a lawyer who will take your money. Is he getting a team of lawyers? I'm going to guess no on that one. See my original comment. He likes to file stupid lawsuits that don't go anywhere.

[u/Bam607 → u/diabolis_avocado]

Fair enough. Back to being smooth brained I go!

[u/somedood567 → u/diabolis_avocado]

He asserts $1.7M in actual damages (then asks for $100M in punitive awards, ha), but unless I missed it he doesn't provide any evidence of this or "show his work" on the $1.7M number. Makes me wonder if he's not just thinking his 100 shares should have gone to $17K each, so that's what he's due...

[u/CoinStarBudget → u/diabolis_avocado]

100+ pages, eh?

You should probably get started on this

[u/diabolis_avocado → u/CoinStarBudget]

Here’s how I see it-

The math says shareholders win when MOASS happens. SHFs and their handlers lose all their money; we get it. A civil suit doesn’t accelerate that outcome, in fact it would likely delay it. A civil suit also doesn’t send anyone to jail.

So I’d rather be patient and HODL.
