I am being sued

There have been long and drawn out legal battles over domain names, so this kind of legal battle isn't that far off from that, both are intangible, but both have value. I have to agree that it is something you can have legal claim to, and would be a viable lawsuit.

Domain names are an excellent example. They are not tangible - you can't pick one up and take it anywhere - and yet they are said to be owned, when all that a person/company actually has are the rights to use it, and sell the rights to use it and sell it. If the periodic payment (lease?) lapses, then the rights are forfeited, and someone else can take it. It's a very good parallel to SL land, and domain name 'ownership' does stand up in court.

lol

No matter what happens out of this -

One thing is for sure.

Never trust anyone you are not married to IRL with $5000 without records.

And seriously reconsider even trusting someone you are married to IRL with that kind of money.

Let those TV court programs know about the suit. They will jump on it. A let us know which one you will be on. If CSI can jump on SL so can Judge Judy .

That's a old joke, Oryx. It means, a verbal contract is worthless, because the "paper it's printed on" is nonexistent, and therefore worth zero.

I figured as much.

Exactly! o.O

No doubt! That would be a good one

If you can't trust your RL spouse with that kind of money, then you should be seriously reconsidering your marriage.

It is awfully funny that you only know Dragger's side and the background there Dora...maybe you should ask the other person for her side of the story.....you may be surprised to come to another conclusion to what REALLY happened!


And anyone wanting the a different version of what Dragger may tell you in here feel free to IM me in-world.

Oo, a plot twist....

Popcorn, anyone?

/me kicks back with some popcorn and a Diet Coke and watches the show.

Not really its the plaintives reallife daughter notice all of 1 post on that nick i am supprised it took this long for her to post and Ana most people have heard both sides that know us and all the renters in both malls and both clubs you made sure to spam them over and over with your alligations when the gravey train was cut off smiles

have a nice day see you feb 8th

Well, now we know what was on the land...malls and clubs, apparently more than one of each. *stands at the end of the popcorn line*

/me steals some of Oryx's popcorn and tips a flask of Myer's dark into her Diet Coke.

You cut the "gravey train" off. Good for you honey, you certainly dont want to throw good money after bad. I think I would figure out how to file a counter suit if I was you. Slander comes to mind, but I really dont know what has been said. Give it a try and make the other side ache for a while too. Who knows the judge just might agree with you on a counter suit. Sue for the max too, $5000.

Yes i Do own more then one mall and one club and have worked hard since joining sl to creat the holdings i have buying one piece of land at a time them selling them off when i had enought to purchase a larger piece connected together.

My wife (real life ) and i started sl with the house of music and a 4096 plot and expanded through hard work and giving tentants what they wanted as we started renting lands to others.

/me digs out his business card.......

He can try but he would have to prove slander...and im not sweating him as he is sweating us......Remember he is the one that started this thread...not us.......we are just doing as our lawyer told us to do......And yes Dragger you will see me on Feb 8th.....BTW I didnt spam anyone..that would have been others that i know very well.....but i havent bothered to spam you or yours b/c you will get what is coming to you eventually.

and that is why the lawyers say not to talk about it Ana thank you and i have the screen print of this smiles

And this is why it's good to keep chat logs and IM logs.

And your point is?

It's really surprising to me to see how many people have been willing to quickly jump at the chance to become armchair attorney's based on few details and one side of the story.

I just want to point out to everyone that in cases like this there are always two sides to every tale.

ahh interesting.

Well heres a good comment for both sides:

You are all old enough to know better than to transfer items of value on a Cash (or promised Cash) basis with no receipts and no records.

Then nobody would have needed a lawyer.
