What will happen to him if he can't afford to pay rent to his mom to live in her basement?

'i'm sorry, the card says moops'

I vistited a Moopish castle in Portugal once. It was pretty cool. The difference between Spain and Portugal is Portugal doesn't seem to care if you fall off of stuff.

70K followers? How did he come up with that number? His FB group only has 50K followers (and how many of those are even active real people?)

He's HUGE is Russia! That's how some of the bots that show up on AZ from time to time probaby get here!

Skeptical that having a trademark in a local ski shop gives one right to prevent one from use similar name as part of a non commercial Facebook page, or that there are any damages they could collect

He’s constantly saying he needs more money for it to continue and cites that Skiology is a minimum wage job. Also hints towards a paid for premium service. Sounds commercial to me…

From the complaint:

Beginning in or around 2021,

a. Plaintiff began to receive frequent complaints from customers and potential customers that they had not received the stickers, t-shirts, and other merchandise that they had purchased on line - merchandise they had ordered from Defendant;

b. Customers of Plaintiff began asking Plaintiff's principals why they were trying to raise money on line and whether they were having financial problems; and

c. Customers believed that "Skiology Matt" was a moniker being used by the son of one of Plaintiff's principals, whose name is Matthew (and "Matt" for short).

link to full text of the complaint? i didn't bother signing up for vermont pacer

i don't wanna get banned bc i enjoy the trash fire, but someone should really post a link to the lawsuit on his page

 

[ThatGuy]

I’m sure that post wouldn’t even make it past approval. The better idea is spam the comments section with it.

Also sounds like a pretty solid case against him.

Wow that seems so blatant that even I, an idiot, can follow along.

lol

Upon information and belief, biogs and social media accounts began to criticize
Defendant, accusing him of, among other things, plagiarism, "lifting images" from an online
government weather-modeling service, and contacting his detractors' friends, employers, and
organizations they participate in, claiming he was being "harassed."
27. Upon information and belief, the Facebook group, "NE Clownology" (now "NE
Skidology (aka Banned by Bozo))" was created specifically to criticize Defendant, and included
as participants pro skiers, senior ski patrollers, ski guides, medical professionals, professional
weather forecasters and the editors of the East's two largest print ski publications.

I thought the same thing.

I hope he fights it and loses miserably

Damn, you beat me to it! I am ROTFLMAO about that "group":

Same, I plan to remain ignorant.

My guess,... unless Mom and Dad come forward to help Matt hire an attorney, he will go out of business. Unless the idiots that follow him send money for his defense. If I were betting, he's done.
