If you own 100% of a company then all the income that company generates is your income. If it's > 6 figures then it's completely fair to say you have a 6 figure income. It's not rocket science.

Just because you pay your wife a salary for notional work in order to extract money from the company without paying so much income tax or corporation tax, doesn't alter that.

Just because you claim things are business expenses so you also avoid paying taxes doesn't alter that.

Q: If someone has a 6 figure income, would them claiming that their income taxes, mortgage, groceries, car payments, and cable bill took up 80% of their income mean they didn't have a 6 figure income? No, it's just word games.

The only person that put a match to his free money gravy train was him, with his antics, because he couldn't control his dick.

Even after all this, he likely still get's way too much money for what he does.

# of users is almost impossible to count - you have to start with the definition of a user: is it someone who joined or someone who posts? how much do they need to post, and when does their latest post need to be to count? Are 10 accounts by the same person 10 accounts or 1 account?

I'm sure we don't have as many users as Reddit, it's a much larger platform, although a lot of user-counts on large platforms are fake and inflated as part of their business model with bots etc... for spam too. It's also a tribalistic cesspit of corruption that's been taken over by leftist fanatics.

Interesting news in Canada:

Apparently, Sophie Trudeau filed for divorce in April but they only announced their separation in August. However she was already with someone else long before then, but was keeping up the appearance that they were still together and regularly attending events and even state visits. Why? For Justin to maintain his "swell dad and family man" image. But it was all a lie.

He's rightfully now being mocked and people are are questioning why she was travelling and vacationing at the tax-payers expense (there have been $6,000 a night hotel bills on some trips) when she had nothing to do with him.

Remind you of any other couple?

Lloyd likes to claim criticism of him is down to exJWs being too "JW like" and judgemental ... yet here is someone who (as far as we know) hasn't slept with multiple prostitutes (although there are rumours about payoffs and non-disclosure agreements re: an under-age girl from his "drama teacher" days). But regular never-JW people are still critical.

Why? Because misleading people for personal gain is always grubby and deceitful and points to the low moral character of the person doing it.

Yeah, right now nothing has really happened - Lloyd just continues to be Lloyd: stringing his patreons along that he'll produce more content any day now (but never does, he's always busy with "things"), claiming he's been defamed but always uses the Clinton technique of focusing on specific words as though it invalidates things, while missing the entire point of what has actually been claimed and so on.

He'll ride his three-legged "litigation" horse as long as the punters will keep betting on it.

My prediction is that he'll repeatedly let the clock run down in the court system before belatedly submitting some other document, the minimum amount necessary, to keep things alive so he can keep referring to it for as long as possible.

Anything but admit he's behaved badly and apologize for any of it - the one thing he's never ever done, still!

How would someone in Croatia, upon getting a criminal conviction for speech in Croatia, put a US citizen in prison or even collect on the judgement?

They wouldn't. US courts won't recognize or enforce Croatian orders as they don't live up to the same standard to have any reciprocal rights and agreements.

I know which country I'd be more concerned about having a court judgement in, and them being able to reach me. For starters, which country is more likely to be a travel destination that you'd then need to avoid?

I'm sure parts of Croatia are lovely and nowhere near as miserable looking as Lloyds new address, but there are nicer European countries to visit and not being able to visit the US would be far more inconvenient and impactful.

They have 3 F1 races a year for starters.

When I was doing my research before the biggest win for defamation was from a politician. I also found an article (link below) about the system is abused but 90-95% of cases are thrown out and the defendants typically win.

Apparently the law was designed to be abused by government officials, to allow them to silence bad press reports about them. It's a reason the US and other countries doesn't respect any judgements made in Croatia - they are not viewed as having sensible or typical laws when it comes to protecting speech (based on what I read about it all).

Is there a 'dark mode' available for this site?

by ProdigalApostate in

i view this site on my mobile browser and would prefer to use it in dark mode (white text on black background).

dark mode helps conserve battery on an oled display used on most phones.

how do i enable it for this site?

Simon

No, sorry - it's something that will be included when I release the next update.

Re: his claim that the company (which he is the sole owner of) wasn't bringing in a 6-figure revenue - €151,000+ is reported more than once:

Interesting too how the telephone number listed is a UK number.

Nothing suggests the company has been wound up.

There is a change of address shown for 7.10.2023 (which shows the info on the page must be quite up-to-date). Q: why would you bother to change the address of a company if you were closing it down?

Q: if he closed down his company, Ipsilon Media, when where does the book revenue, merchandise sales, ad revenue and Patreon donations go? Didn't they go through the company? Did they ever go through the company? If not, what did the company do? Where do they go now - is it straight to him, and I wonder if he declares the income?

I know with things like Google Ads, you often can't just change payments to go from a company to a personal account, because they have their own financial reporting responsibilities.

Is it really even closed down at all, or was that just another tall tale trying to over-hype his losses and to try to make his lawsuit seem more legitimate?

If he believes people lied about him, and that cost him $$$, then why didn't he try to refute the lies? Why is the only consistent thing he's done been to not address or point to any alleged untruth? Even now, he can't actually point to any untruth, only refer to vague insinuations. Defamation relies on their being specific untruths, that people knew to be untruths - so 'cmon Lloydy-boy, what exactly are they?

Oh, wait - they just repeated things he'd admitted, and showed up exactly what kind of horrible person and abusive husband he was. So people decided to stop sending him free $ as a result, as is their choice - it's not like anyone was coerced or given false information to break any contract was it?

So sorry fuck-face, you can't sue people for people finding out who you are, and deciding not to donate as a result.

And numb-nuts has now told even the most blinkered of his followers exactly the kind of things he's been linked with, so they can now do their own research and realize what's been up to.

Lloyd ... never thinking more than one tweet ahead.
