"Behind the scenes" to what? A Bethel leak? No, he just wants to point out to you the many different methods you can pay him. With his end of month drop perilously close at 11 days, to be only at 402 and only 3 above what he bottomed out at last month, whatever he tried to do with his rebranding effort is not working. I get the feeling that people who follow him are tired of being reminded of the need to compensate him, especially for a new Patron who just joined and finding out their "exclusive content" was just a tour round his retooled Patreon tiers. They weren't even this pushy about donations at the Bethel tour.

Did this dingus, through the magical school bus law firm, file any sort public complaint / document yet?
Depends on what you mean. If you mean his previous promise to make the "evidence" available to the public, he had cowered away from that like the coward he is.
I say "coward" because he loves to call people that who don't give him their real name and addresses. I also call him Jabba the Hutt because he loves Star Wars, doesn't like being called that, and is fat, disgusting and greedy.
The only thing he made public were the filings which pointed to "evidence" which he has yet to provide.
And he's backed away from that promise as mentioned like he never made it in the first place.
"It's not my job to provide you the evidence! You are a criminal defendant, and I suggest you retain the services of a talented Croatian lawyer!" was pretty much the summation of his last rant in response to "where's the evidence you promised".
Oooo that would scare the fuck out of me. "Get a Croatian lawyer" has to rank up there next to "The Greenland Police would like to see what's in your fishing net, sir!"
If you are asking for updates, the last filing was by himself on 14 November 2022.
Coincidentally, he's been doing a lot of things "by himself" this year.

I don't think this was the right way of name and shaming on him for whatever reason.
Lloyd Evans doesn't have a complaint box. Ask Louise Goode. She was his co-host and he rode her ass all weekend because she expressed a positive opinion of Jonathan Sanders. It was only until Louise got down on her knees and offered an unequivocal apology that he forgave her for expressing her opinion.
What he does have was an established method of naming, shaming and bullying anyone who expressed a contrary opinion or even worse, was directly critical of him. He had an army of sycophants who would have mercilessly trolled and bullied her until she either disappeared or recanted. His livestream was meant as a bat signal that it was full-on war against Kim.
I believe Kim knew what he would do. I believe she knew how brutal he could be, and her bringing it up in private as you seem to be suggesting would have effectively only tipped him off that he had a dissenter and would have moved quickly to publicly sack her and highly imply it was for an issue of trust or dishonesty. And then he would have set his dogs loose upon her while covering his tracks in Thailand and elsewhere.
She was quite literally in a no-win situation. She could have bent the knee and let this information slide, allowing him to continue to milk the community for financial support and continue to abuse his wife. She could have just resigned and disappeared. She could have slipped the info to someone which he would deny considering the source was not firsthand and set up a campaign of abuse towards the leaker. Or she could have done what she did.
It took nothing short of unprecedented bravery and a strong sense of right and wrong to do what she did. Isn't that what being a former Jehovah's Witness is about? We call out these abuses on WT and document them. How should that be any different upon Lloyd and the damage he was causing by leading such a double life especially considering the fact that he was an exJW CSA advocate participating and feeding donation money into a system of abuse and sex trafficking. Should she have waited until it got worse (which it was quickly becoming)?
She put her own name, reputation and mental health on the line to allow people to make an informed decision on whether to support Lloyd Evans. Over half have and have agreed with Kim. If anything, doing it in the manner in the way she did exposed him even more for his bully tactics and legal threats.
I'm glad she did it in that way. She held a huge mirror up to Lloyd Evans and if you don't like what you see, take it up with the man whose reflection you see staring back at you.

I love playing out alternate realities. They fascinate me. Here’s mine for the day:
This time one year ago Lloyd gets back from Texas and is confronted by his wife for these flirty pics with women in Texas. In a tearful “Come to Jesus” moment, Lloyd explains that he always felt insecure as an overweight, unattractive man with a horrible chin and a Muppet nose. He admits he is wrong to create online dating profiles and arranging meetups. No more! I have you and the girls!
Dijana privately wipes her brow and thinks: “Now if I can just get him to give up prostitutes, then everything will be perfect”
10 months later Lloyd is closing in on 1200 patrons and has just signed the final papers on his beach house. A DM comes through. “Probably another fan wanting to be on my channel with an uninteresting sob story about being shunned”. But no, it’s Jan Nielsen from Norway, giving him an inside scoop on huge legal news from Norway.
Lloyd stands up and summons his JW Watch crew on WhatsApp.
“I must go to Norway! The people have called and they need me and my take on it! Oh and also some tickets for the wife and my two girls please. Tease something huge is coming up and see how much you can collect”
After doing interviews with Jan and Jonas, as well as a livestream where he collects €4000 in Superchats, he saunters off to his promised Norway exJW meetup. The ladies pose with him like he’s Mick Jagger and he only wishes he could slip them a note with his room number. “Oh no, what a time to get those damn blue balls again!” At the dinner at an expensive restaurant he asks his Norwegian hosts if Oslo has a red light district and if so, where is it? Lloyd changes the subject when the cheque comes and pretends to not see it.
After one day’s hard work, the Evans family heads to the Norwegian cruise ship dock for the round trip to Nord Kapp and Kirkenes. Their Norwegian hosts wish them well, knowing how funds collected for his visit were also funneled into paying for this. Lloyd and family visit the stunning fiords and Dijana gets to go on one of her beloved whale watching tours.
They pose at Nord Kapp, the northernmost point in Europe with the Northern Lights in the background. His Twitter post has 900 likes. In Kirkenes, he makes another post how he is mere kilometres from the Russian border and puts up several Ukrainian flag emojis in support. He makes a short handheld video for Tibor to edit later.
Back in Croatia, he relates to his wife that he must go to Zagreb for a few days. “Why?”, he is asked. Furrowing his brow in astonishment at being asked such a question, he responds “I am meeting with Tibor to work on some follow up with my Norwegian videos and to begin work on my next documentary!”
After checking into his Zagreb hotel, he loosens his trousers, knowing that his blue balls problem will soon be handled and handled well.

Hate is an unhealthy, toxic reaction even in cases where the object of hatred is an abusive individual
An oblique reference to Kim and others, especially the M7. He doesn't "hate" any of them, he just sues them, tries to threaten and bully or get them bullied on social media, and will legally harass them for the next 40 years, in person if needed. As long as he says he doesn't "hate" them, all of his subsequent actions are not only excusable but warranted.
When you foster and promote hatred of someone who isn't abusive purely because you believe them as guilty of errors of judgment, the problem is very much with you.
An obvious reference to himself. The giveaway is the "guilty of errors of judgment" which also happens to be the only thing he confesses to nowadays.
As we near the one-year anniversary of him telling his wife's she's a head-fuck for backing out of an open marriage arrangement he forced upon her, the more he tries to take up the role of the morality police.
This man didn't go to therapy, and if he did, he insisted he was in the right and has refused all professional advice. The loss of 54% of his Patrons still hasn't led him to the conclusion that he has mishandled this situation badly and that people are not buying his "errors in judgment" excuse.
The only 'head-fuck' is him.

Keep in mind this is a guy who for years pushed an anonymous online survey which he has since abandoned. He actually had "Governing Body" as a clickable option when explaining your rank within the organisation.
If someone online comes up to you anonymously and says they are a member of the Governing Body, don't believe a thing they have to tell you.
The whole survey thing was bizarre and unreliable. JWs don't take surveys which ask leading questions as to the validity of their teachings. At best you are getting the opinions of PIMOs. So, he was essentially following the same method as someone taking surveys outside gun shows and concluding that Trump is winning the 2024 election in a 48-state landslide.
There's no journalistic integrity in bumping into JWs on the street and trying to catch them saying something incorrect or foolish. You can do that to people who identify as supporters of any political party, and you'll easily find someone relaying information that is false or ill-informed. JWs are an easy target because most of what they believe is pure fiction, so where's the sport in that? He can just as easily interview a former elder, pioneer or Bethelite and get a straight up scoop as to what are the current policies and doctrines.
But this is Lloyd, who's been outted as a habitual liar and fraudster, so it's to the street to interview people who have no idea who he is.
Yep, this is the guy who needs those Patreon donations for such groundbreaking content.

And to think he once had 700 patrons.
Bottoms up Lloyd, this one’s for you.

Would now be a good time to mention that Argentina just bounced Croatia from the World Cup semi-finals 3-0?
He probably sees "Argentina" and thinks of that Malvinas bitch from JWN who calls him Jabba the Hutt.

It wasn't the worst year of his life when his mum died of cancer ?
He stated this year was worse than when his mum passed in his Facebook post:
This ordeal has been harrowing and unquestionably the most stressful experience of my life - far more so than losing my mother to cancer.

Interesting. I think we can make some calculated guesses as to how much he is pulling in monthly. I'll try.
127 Patrons - $10 and $25 a month.
Let's be generous and say 25% of that are $25 donors.
32 x $25 = $800
95 x $10 = $950
Current Patronage is 403. 403 - 127 = 276.
Let's be generous again and assume this time half of those are $1 donors and the other half are $5 donors.
276/2 = 138
138 x $5 = $690
138 x $1 = $138
So we have the following:
$25 tier = $800
$10 tier = $950
$5 tier = $690
$1 tier = $138
Total is $2578 a month USD.
So, I'd say a low estimate is $2000 a month, whilst a higher one would be close to $3000 a month. Not counting the $50 pledges because he just implemented them, and he didn't seem to have much interest on that front.
I'm going to say he has more $1 donors than my estimates and he's at roughly $2250 a month with Patreons.
Which means he was probably pushing $6000 a month on Patreon alone before all this happened.
Edit - Some of those listed are pseudonyms. So I think that is a realistic total, with the ones who wish to remain private providing pseudonyms.
