  If he were serious about this lawsuit and the “defamation” he’d retain counsel in the relevant countries. The easiest place for him to do so would be the UK due to his citizenship and the libel laws there. But the problem for him is that the two UK “defendants” are the Lathams, who have done little more than comment on information either handed to them or commented on by Lloyd himself.

  In the UK, he has another problem. British courts require that plaintiffs pay a deposit to the court as "security for costs." This is required for the protection of defendants, because the plaintiff is liable for the defendant's legal fees if Plaintiff does not win the lawsuit. Additionally, UK barristers are extremely expensive. I had a situation years ago where I had to hire a barrister in the UK, and it was very expensive compared to the price of a US lawyer.
  

  Suing 7 non-Croatian citizen/residents in what amounts to the butthole of Croatia in Sisak is akin to asking the sheriff from the Dukes of Hazzard to serve Putin with an arrest warrant.

  I believe that Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane has a better chance of arresting Putin than SlobLloyd's chances of prevailing in a lawsuit for defamation in this situation. SlobLloyd does bear some resemblance to Boss Hawg, but the actor who played that part was better-looking than SlobLloyd.

  There was a shakedown letter from a lawyer with the threat of a lawsuit, it seemed like they hoped people would just pay some money but they couldn't even put any effort into responding to enquiries.

  Unless and until someone is served papers, there isn't any lawsuit.
  

  The lawsuit can be filed but not served, so technically, a lawsuit could exist. But until the service of process happens, effectively there is no lawsuit, as the service is necessary for the court to obtain jurisdiction over the defendants. Additionally, serving the defendants in this situation is not as simple as hiring a process server to serve them. It will require lawyers (and payment of lawyer fees) in every country where a defendant resides, as well as a thorough analysis of treaties that may exist between the countries governing the exercise of jurisdiction by Croatian courts in the other countries as well as an analysis of the relevant laws in of each of the countries where a defendant resides. This would be a very expensive feat to pull off, and based on the publicly available financial statements relating to his business that I was able to observe online, I don't believe that he has anywhere near the financial resources necessary to pull that off.

  I have no knowledge whatsoever of Croatian law, but I doubt that Croatian courts will allow a lawsuit to sit without being served. There is likely a time limit on service that will result in dismissal of the lawsuit if the papers are not served within the required time.

  "We know they’re real because Kim says they are real"

  That's not how proof works. Are you really that gullible?

  Actually that is how proof works. Documents are authenticated by individuals on a daily basis in courts around the world. The individual(s) authenticating the documents are not required to be the authors. Are you really that ignorant?

  I wonder if any of his flying monkeys would openly admit if they would go to a prostitute for sex?

  In my opinion, any person who supports that disgusting slob is likely to need to pay for intimacy.

  One of Lloyds biggest lie is trying to make out that it's "human" to visit sex workers.

  Rationalizing his disgusting conduct appears to be one of his coping mechanisms.

  I think most mature adults understand that nobody is perfect and that we all make mistakes. My mistake was to be unfaithful to my partner and I'll always be sorry about that.
  But as I've said before, nobody deserves to be bullied, harassed and character assassinated across multiple social media platforms simply for being human.

  From what I've seen, there's no "mistake." I think Fats is only sorry about the impact it has had on his business.
  

  I've been on this planet much longer than Fats. Somehow, I've managed to "be human" while not engaging or even contemplating the engagement of prostitutes. I've also managed to survive without begging others for money.

  God it's so like the Borg it's unreal!

  You can take a person out of the kingdom hall, but with certain individuals, you cannot take the kingdom hall out of the person.

  I try not to look back at what may have been lost in the years I spent as a JW. I'm happy enough to have gotten out and gained my freedom and a fuller control of my life than I ever had. I can't change the past, I can only live in the present and plan for the future. So I'm happier by doing the latter two and minimizing the impact of those lost years.

  Thankfully for me as a born-in, I went into full rebellion mode in my teen years and was completely out by age 15. My parents passed away decades ago, and besides resenting the WT for stealing the happiness from my childhood, I also hate the WT for depriving our family of quality family time. But the damages caused by the WT are what economists refer to as "sunk costs." There's nothing we can do to change what has already happened; we can only "move ahead" (Song no. 63 from the 1970s songbook) by learning from the past and living what's left of our lives to the fullest.

  Now it’s not a question of if but when they stumble upon information not convenient to Lloyd and people willing to convey it. The system of fear has been lifted.

  This is why there is no merit to the "he has an excellent body of work" argument. There's a lot of dirt in that pig's pen.

  From Mike and Kim, I demand €700,000.

  
  

  He might need that money to pay for the food necessary to support his multiple chins. In my opinion, the financial statements available on the FINA site do not come anywhere close to supporting a 700,000 Euro value for the business. It just looks like more hot air from a disgusting slob.
