The immediate condemnation from the #minnmax community is so fucking disgusting. Imagine owning and supporting a company whose whole mantra is do better and ousting a long standing so called friend so quickly.

Everything kinda sucks right?
![Dear Ron:
This is an attempt — perhaps in vain — to propose a settlement. As set out below, this is a
take it or leave it offer. The details are below, but we start with what we now know.
So, let’s start there. We now have meaningful direct message and ChatGPT productions.
Given your prior practice, 1 we presume you have not reviewed those productions and further that
you have not communicated with your client about the current state of the case and his
understanding and expectations as to what is to come. 2 This puts us, as Plaintiff’s counsel, in the
unusual and uncomfortable position of knowing more about your client’s state of mind with regards
to this litigation than you do.
A quick summary: Your client does not appear to be having a good time. And the ChatGPT
logs paint a portrait of a man completely unspooling, in the throes of something like AI-induced
psychosis.
In his February 19, 2026 ChatGPT session “Court Order Violation” 3 (attached hereto as
Exhibit 01, beginning on page 8), he asks ChatGPT what would happen if “my lawyer quits” and he
“stop[s] replying” to the Court and us, id. at 11, and further states that “I feel like I’m being held
against my will,” id. at 13. On his March 13 livestream, he said that he had no faith in the legal
system, and on March 12 he described the process of litigating the jurisdictional defense that he..](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wz3eu3fzuewjtnub4ij4ndjw/bafkreifutpbavmu7gpic4wprwvrmfn6aoirh44fubclwshrtmxd43perfy)

asserted and the production of the jurisdictional discovery that he elected 4 as “a massive waste of
time and money and court resources.” 5 Given the facts now available to us from the limited review
we have conducted to date, we do not foresee his mood improving any time soon. Below, we go
over how the productions to date have made us very confident on the ultimate merits. Indeed, let
me be clear that, given what we’ve learned, we will re-file in California if we happen to lose on
jurisdiction; we have made that decision already. But we are also plenty comfortable on jurisdiction
— although for obvious reasons, that is almost beside the point, since we can and will refile if we
lost on that issue.
So, here’s where we are: We want to make clear to your client he holds the keys to free
himself from “being held against [his] will.” Ex. 1 at 13.
We are offering him a way out that we think is reasonable, as costs continue to escalate — in
part because at a certain point our fees (recoverable under the harassment law we are suing over) will
exceed your client’s total assets. If your client apologizes, agrees never to talk about Ms. Mercante
again, and pays us a sum equivalent to what he’s paid you to date, he can be done here. If not, on we
go](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wz3eu3fzuewjtnub4ij4ndjw/bafkreigbxoarhwa23fp3m55f4covipe6fns23k5ldrkdm2azopmi4la7yy)
