SHAQ’S LEGAL TEAM FIRES BACK, WANTS FTX LAWSUIT DISMISSED
Cedric 'BIG CED' ThorntonMay 10, 2023
https://www.blackenterprise.com/shaquille-oneal-ftx-lawsuit-legal-papers-shaq-moving-car/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter_05/10/2023

 

After successfully evading attorneys trying to serve him papers in a lawsuit against FTX celebrity endorsers, Shaquille O’Neal was finally served the legal documents. But not so fast! According to lawyers representing O’Neal, he was never properly served, and because of this, the claims against the NBA Hall of Famer should be dismissed.

According to Business Insider, in a recent court filing, Shaq’s attorneys said the legal paperwork was “tossed” in front of Shaq’s car as he drove away from his Georgia residence. They also claim the documents were left “on the road where they landed.”

“Mr. O’Neal has not evaded service by failing to be at the residences where plaintiffs belatedly attempted service or by driving past strangers who approached his car.”

This latest action by the TNT commentator has placed Adam Moskowitz, managing partner at The Moskowitz Law Firm, in disbelief.

In a written statement to the media outlet, he says, “It is really disappointing and surreal. The video will show Mr. O’Neal finally being served, after many months of hiding, as he attempts to possibly injure the process server. We expected better from an officer of the law. Mr. O’Neal and his lawyers need to stop running and finally deal with the serious allegations.”

In March, Moskowitz tweeted that his law firm finally got the paperwork to Shaq after he evaded them for months. He represents investors in the cryptocurrency company FTX who filed a class-action lawsuit against the retired basketball player and other celebrities who endorsed the firm.

Earlier this year, The New York Post reported that Shaq was successfully avoiding being served the legal documents from the lawsuit. O’Neal is among several celebrities named in the case filed in December based on their involvement with the bankrupted cryptocurrency company FTX. Other stars, like NBA champion Stephen Curry, and NFL champion, Tom Brady, were also named in the lawsuit filed by an investor in the company, Edwin Garri.

 

My Thoughts

The following is a repeat but I find all financial questions must start with a simple truth. Most of the money in the USA comes from crimes towards others, usually legal crimes. Taking land/enslaving others/getting relatives to sign contracts/laws from elected officials were legal acts that led to all the fortunes in the usa. Yes, Black people have made little money but most black wealth in the usa, honestly enough, comes from civilian activity. Black people working for government, entertainers, athletes, employed in the private sector doing arduous is where more black money in the usa comes from. Shaq is simply part of the modern allowance of black wealthy people able to join white wealthy in such schemes. And in defense the lawsuit is against the multiracial set of entertainers not merely shaq. But for me the crypto scam is more statian of the usa than all the humanity talk and united talk and rest of the lies spurted every day.

 

 

For Laughs, forgive me any abused women

 

Rudy Giuliani 'demanded oral sex while on phone to Trump'

https://www.yahoo.com/news/rudy-giuliani-accused-coercing-ex-033519722.html

 

some excerpts:)

"He often demanded oral sex while he took phone calls on speaker phone from high-profile friends and clients, including then-President Trump.

"Giuliani told Ms Dunphy that he enjoyed engaging in this conduct while on the telephone because it made him 'feel like Bill Clinton'."

"He made clear that satisfying his sexual demands - which came virtually anytime, anywhere - was an absolute requirement of her employment."

"often demanded that she work naked, in a bikini, or in short shorts with an American flag on them that he bought for her."

"took Viagra constantly” 

"worked under the constant threat that Giuliani might demand sex from her at any moment.

"When they were apart, they would often work remotely via videoconference, and during those conferences Giuliani almost always asked her to remove her clothes on camera."

A fool invests in business ventures of which they know nothing.  He has to face the music for being ignorant.

It makes no sense for an adult woman to comply with that type of foolishness as a condition of employment. Something doesn't add up.

 

These grown people have to take responsibility for their own actions.  In common...it reads like they both got f8cked.😁😎

@ProfD all shaq plus many others did was endorse the firm, they got paid to advertise for it. They didn't invest their money.  They were paid by ftx side others to get others to invest their money. How is shaq ignorant?

 

haha, my biggest issue is embellishment. I find in cases of sexual abuse embellishment occurs too much. By what she is saying where are photos of her naked in the office. I can't believe no eyewitnesses exist based on what she said. Guiliani can't have paid off all eye witnesses or have no enemies

@richardmurray, to advertise, endorse or invest in that digital ponzi scheme was ignorant. 

 

I do not believe anyone should be abused or mistreated.

 

Folks definitely shouldn't use their *power* to harm others in any way. 

 

Rudy G. looks sleazy enough that I wouldn't leave a baby kitten alone with him. 😁😎

A whole of people need to be sued for the Crypto fiasco. Shaq is not the only one. 

Crypto was touted as a get rich scheme in many circles, but especially in the Black Community. I knew it wasn't and simply cautioned its cheerleaders to be cautious. 


 

Rudy, Rudy demanded some booty
So, how did his strategy go?
It worked for a while
as she spit back the bile

But then she let everyone know

I've been telling folks for over 10 years now......the entire "crypto currency" thing is a SCAM.

Just a big money making game White boys sat on their ass and conjured up to make THEM more money and get people of color in trouble.

It's biggest selling point was that it was "internet based" and couldn't be traced by the government and you could make all the money you wanted without having to pay taxes.
Anybody with GOOD SENSE could listen to that and see the holes in it a mile away.

Now look at all of the legal issues surrounding crypto currency and it's handling.

Just like the internet.
It was initially billed as a center of "free speech" and alternative to other forms of media because you supposedly could express yourself freely however you wanted to.
Now look how many people have gotten in trouble and are sitting in jail right now because of crimes involving the internet.

So another Black person has gotten in trouble fucking with that crypto-mess.
What else is new?

Anything to avoid the OLD FASHIONED way of making money and establishing wealth: Buying some land and DEVELOPING it.

@Stefan  fair enough

 

@Pioneer1

 Well, I have to first say, I opposed getting involved in the cryptos and didn't like what I knew in terms of financial stability or long term financial quality, and I spoke against getting involved with crypto to others. 

But having said that I want to defend those who involved themselves in the crypto. 

I remember three articles: 

1) one where a white guy in his 20s living downtown manhattan boasted of being a crypto millionaire. He was highlighted in the new york times. 

2) another white guy admitted he put millions of dollars, his life savings into crypto, he is trying to suit to get it back but the case isn't in his favor.

3) the ftx wall street journal advertisement where a side of a page was bought.

 

My point, lower rich whites was the fuel to this thing. Many of them lost money in it, but they fueled it, and those who got in early and sold before the fall made millions of dollars. Like the gold rush or oil rush, most lose money in these get rich quick schemes historically. But a minority always get lucky and are the stories people remember. ame with crypto. Yes, I advised against it. but I do comprehend why people were suckered in. Those who were purely lucky enough to gamble right in their timing made a lot of money.

A fool and his money are soon to be parted.😁

 

Even if someone feels and/or believes luck is on their side, the safest best is to only gamble as much as they afford to lose. 

 

That's why most people only spend a few dollars on lottery tickets.  Only an idiot would blow a whole check or life savings trying to hit the Powerball.🤣😎

@ProfD yeah:) and the usa has seen this story many times: The gold rush or the oil rush in the late 1800s early 1900s, the original stock market boom in 1920s, the dot com boom, the crypto boom, the usa is the home of get rich quick schemes. the luckiest invest a lot before the stampede but get most out before the winter. the lucky invest the same way with affordable funds. while most, overwhelming majority,  have bad timing or investment and lose money. 

I imagine extraterrestrial mining will have a similar fate.

Correct.  Those with inside knowledge will be the luckiest.  They will sucker other folks into investing when the mine is almost dried up.🤣😎

@richardmurray

Can YOU offer any credible proof that Crypto proved a viable investment tool for Black people? You never provide proof of anything, just baseless and ludicrous opinions. 

A few feature stories in the NY Times about White dudes are NOT proof that Crypto benefited Black people. Let's see some links to a credible news source discussing how Crypto proved a boon for Blacks.

I remember your past nonsensical bullcrap:

How you wanted me to help you write a post extolling the virtues of NYC Subway Terrorist Frank James. You admired James because as you told me, he made Black NYC Mayor Eric Adams look bad. And James was, according to your rancid thinking, striking a blow against homelessness. I have no idea how came up with that garbage. I replied James had been little but a crazed dumbf-ck for years who would be sentenced to a long prison term. And that's exactly what happened.

You also swore that it would have been ideal for Blacks to create an all Black Political Party in the year 1865. Although in a subsequent message to me, you labeled it a Black Party of Governance. There is no Black Party of Governance and creating one in the U.S. in the year 1865 would have gotten so many Black men lynched. (Because remember, it took many decades before women were officially granted The Vote).

For the most part, Blacks could not freely vote in the United States in 1865 and in fact, most Black Slaves in the South never had any inkling they had even been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. When they found out, they created the beginnings of the Juneteeth Celebration. There would have been precious little benefit to creating an all Black political party back then. 

Your problem is that you rarely understand historical or even factual context.

The following is a link to all post from me with the word crypto in it, in aalbc.

The only truly credible proof is a private financial investment ledger which I am not privy too. Cause I repeat , I have never personally supported investing in crypto. And if I was privy to such information I doubt i would display it without the permission of the people it relates to. Now, I have never suggested I can provide irrefutable proof on anything. And regardless of my offline information, which I wouldn't convey online anyway, that isn't proof.

I wanted you to help me write something. I don't recall I ever wrote anything like that. 

Here is one half of my  proof , these are all the posts with frank james concerning me. Never once did I ask or desire you to help me write anything. You like proof, check yourself. 

https://aalbc.com/tc/search/?&q=frank james&quick=1&author=richardmurray&search_and_or=and&sortby=newest

The following is the other half. I don't usually submit a private multilog, but your lies force this.

If you notice, you started this private message, not me. I never asked you for... anything. I never wanted anything from you. And I refuted your view toward me. You kept suggesting your assisting me by communicating to me.

Richard, 

If you want to become a good blogger, then never assume of pontificate without evidence to back up your claims.

This is what you wrote: Sequentially, a black party of governance will have to oppose Black leadership in nearly all sectors.

Do you even know what sequentially means? It means chronologically or one after the other.

What you mean is a Black Political Party, not a black party of governance. In this country, Blacks don't govern chit, which is what governance means.

NEarly all black elected officials in the USA will oppose it. Again, did you survey Black elected officials or are you projecting your own personal biases? Because what you wrote again cannot be proven.

NEarly all black fiscally wealthy will oppose it. You mean wealthy without the fiscally. Wealthy defines an individual with a high net worth. Because rich means someone who has a lot of available money and probably spends a lot. Which means they could also carry a lot of debt. Trump is rich, but not wealthy.
 

I think we all know a Black party of governance hasn't been tried with vigor cause it represents a challenge for most Black people who are deemed successful in the usa. Again, you are assuming. Explain how a Black Political Party would challenge most successful Black people. 

These are questions your readers will demand answers to.

Now, you know why I was such a damn good editor. I never allowed bullcrap or bad writing to fly. And all those young White writers with Master's Degrees from Ivy League universities eventually learned to ask me for help before filing bullcrap copy. 

I will try to help you if you really want to write. Just let know.

Quote

Stefan, thank you for your critique. 

 

I used the word sequentially, referring to the fact that after a Black party to governance is started, it will face the following things instantly, based on the current scenario. Can I prove my future claims? no. I can't. But I am willing to challenge anyone who suggest otherwise come with their reasoning. I can provide mine. 

 

No, I meant a Black party of governance. A Black political party is merely a gathering of Black people. The Black panthers of self defense is a political party. The nation of islam is a black political party. The KKK is a white political party. The Party of Abraham Lincoln or the Party of Andrew Jackson are parties of governance. These are gatherings of people for the purpose of control in government. 

 

I admit I haven't polled all I assert to. But I think everything I wrote is supported by history.

Black elected officials existed in the USA for over 150 years. In that time, a Black party of governance has not succeeded in gaining a seat outside of one potential example, in mississippi. In 150 years I am certain many Black people uttered, lets have our own party. The fact that it hasn't been tried by a largess of Black elected officials tells me all I need to know about that community. Now, can I be wrong ? yes. But, for me to be wrong, it means that a large number of black elected officials, combined from the POAJ or POAL , are eager to have a black party of governance, but never did in 150 years. PErhaps, I can be wrong. but I don't think so.

 

I define wealth as that which is valuable. It can be fiscal, ala money or in other ways. 

 

I said in my post, most Black people deemed successful have a positive relationship with whites, an integrated relationship on a personal level with whites and by default a Black party of governance is not an integrated institution and unlike Black collegiate sororities  or fraternities is not within the confines of historical black institutions. 

 

Now, will many readers, maybe most or maybe not most,  contest each poistiion? yes. Do I have irrefutable proof to any position I make? no.  Do I think I need irrefutable proof? no. I can accept anyone saying, none of this can be proven, therefore none of it is true. 

 

I end with praise for you Stefan. You are an excellent editor to the majority literary standard in the USA. I don't comply to said majority standard in my: literary structure, use of words, reader considerations, or personal guidelines. 

 

If I ever want to emit work to comply to the standards that you are a master at putting forth, I will definitely contact you.

I said I would help you. Keep it simple.

The average person reads at 8th grade reading level.

good point

 

 

 

 

 

Now, for your next positions

You also swore that it would have been ideal for Blacks to create an all Black Political Party in the year 1865. Although in a subsequent message to me, you labeled it a Black Party of Governance. There is no Black Party of Governance and creating one in the U.S. in the year 1865 would have gotten so many Black men lynched. (Because remember, it took many decades before women were officially granted The Vote).
 

 

Again, I never said ideal. I have never said offline or online that at any moment in the history of the usa or the european colonies that proceeded it that anything was ideal concerning black people, no plans no situation no ideas have ever been ideal for black people in the usa. 

What I said, and here is your proof

https://aalbc.com/tc/search/?&q=black political party&quick=1&author=richardmurray&search_and_or=and&sortby=newest

is the following

I want you to quote when I said anything was ideal 

some  of my earliest  quotes, say nothing about ideal situations. And you can use the link above if you want more proof. I messaged in a public post that it is a Black party of Governance. And I never said one existed , I said one was needed, and hasn't been tried. And for the historical record, so many black men were lynched , black women raped, black towns burned completely, I don't comprehend why a Black party of governance would had made more of a negative difference, when even whites will admit that violence against black people after slavery in those early years was worse than during slavery.

And lastly, your position of black ignorance of the past.

 

Quote

For the most part, Blacks could not freely vote in the United States in 1865 and in fact, most Black Slaves in the South never had any inkling they had even been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. When they found out, they created the beginnings of the Juneteeth Celebration. There would have been precious little benefit to creating an all Black political party back then. 

 

The articles are all cited. And clearly show the idea that black people were ignorant to their condition in the past is a lie, or that they were disengaged. I repeat, black leadership made a choice and that choice led to the changes black leadership wanted in the black community but they had other options that I think were better and still today, the black community in the usa has elements it lacks which its leadership isn't supporting.

My only problem was I went against what I said and I replied to you. That was my mistake. I will not make it again.

I purchased $500 in Bitcoin and $500 in Ethereum back in 2021 I believe (after the peak).  I knew full well going in that I could lose all of my money, but again it was a learning exercise, as I was also interested in NFTs.

 

I'm ALWAYS wary of schemes where people say you can get rich by doing literally nothing, or maybe buying a jpeg. I'm even more skeptical of people who charge you a great deal of money to tell you how, if you do what they did, you get rich too. 

 

Most people would simply continue doing the thing that got them rich rather than taking the time to show you how. The only time that happens is when the thing they are showing you is no longer working for them -- assuming it ever did.

 

I hold my own crypto, so losing it in an exchange is not possible -- thought I could lose my keys.  At any rate I should find out the value of my coin, maybe I will cash out.  I can’t really afford to have a few hundred bucks doing nothing...

This may sound a bit conspiratorial but, we can't really trust HOW White folks are REALLY making their money.

They can SAY one thing but when you investigate, they're actually making their money and getting rich doing SOMETHING ENTIRELY ELSE.
Or actually doing the total opposite or what they CLAIM they're doing.

 

A White man will sit there in a suit with his hair slicked back with a lot of gel in it and ramble on for 3 hours about how great crypto currency is and how long he's been involved in it and how he's a millionaire.

image.png.526608b70b657f914e6cca2e5e4a9069.png

"Well I'll tell ya what Deontay.....
Like you I was born in the ghetto to an unwed mother who
scrubbed toilets for a living and had a crack habit, but ya
know what?
I got into crypto currency a few years ago and now I'm
approaching  75 million dollars!!!
I'm living proof that the system works if you love America and try
hard enough!!!"


 

 

....but if you just drill down and nail him on how he got his millions he'll admit he INHERITED it from his rich uncle
-and that he's only made $450 so far in cryptocurrency after 3 years of investing.

 

You can't trust what White men say, especially when it comes to money and wealth in general.

I used to work at a subway sandwich shop with a White boy who was only a couple years older than me.
Although he was in his early 20s, he was a Bush loving "Conservative" and used to complain all the time about people on welfare and how if they managed their money right they wouldn't need welfare and how minimum wage was good enough if they managed their money.
He was working at subway like I was and had a wife, 2 kids, and they had a house and 2 cars and he's point to that and say he could work at subway at minimum wage and still have all of that because he was a Conservative who knew how to "budget his money" correctly.

Come to find out the snaggle toofed fool not only inherited wealth from one of his relatives but he was also getting royalties from property his wife's family owned AND they were making and selling meth out of their house!!!!!

Yet this same white boy would praise Bush, conservatism....and rant and rave about welfare queens and drug dealers in the hood and how poor people should lift themselves up.


I say all that to say, don't trust what White folks say about money and wealth....they are TRAINED to lie and mislead.

Crypto currency is a SCAM.
We should stay AWAY from it.

It's being reported that billionaire Elon Musk inflated the price of dodgecoin using Tw8tter (he owns the platform) and  cashed out for $124 million. I doubt that any Black folks were in on the deal. 🤣😎

And since Mr.Musky  doesn't print up his OWN money....that means the money he made had to come from somebody else's pockets.
Those are the suckas who got tricked into investing in HIS crypto-currency.

Riddle me this.....
Why would anybody invest in a type of currency called CRYPT-o?????

A CRYPT is a GRAVE.

You "invest" your money in a grave and wonder why it diminishes.

Stay tuned for more tales from the crypt.

@Pioneer1 well, yes, it doesn't seem wise to invest in a secret:) 

but the name comes from cryptography, literally the study of secrets, but functionally the study of private information in electronic devices. 

The hashtag and more importantly its utilization is what made crypto from a technical point of view and thus the name Cryptocoins. 

The reason why crypts are attached to graves is that in early christianity, when it was illegal or an impotent community, christian places had to be kept safe from authorities or others, thus crypts.
