The parlor, a pro-Donald social media site that has served as an edible buffet for brain worms over the past few years, is being sued by its own co-founder and former-CEO.
After the January 6 riots at the partially organized Capitol at the parlor’s violent death-threatening site, Amazon Web Services Booted the parlor from its servers and Apple Pal and Google Kicked him away from their respective app stores. He returned to the site after failing to persuade any of the other companies to return, but CEO John Metz did not return for the second leg of the tour. G.O.P. Mega-donor Rebecca Mercer, the big investor who is now reported, was forced into some kind of internal squabble. Individual Rs The site, and the far-right former NRTV pundit and fellow investor Dan Bongino, in whose role at least part of his millions of Facebook followers are urged to relocate to a site in which he has a personal financial stake.
With Bangalore, the departure did not go well Matze accused Trying to sell the site’s original mission as a free speech utopia where almost anything goes legal – exactly what was found Company in trouble In the first place and Metz Telling the media Mercer turned a blind eye to the conspiracy theorists, neo-Nazis, fascists, racists and other hateful zealots about occupying the site. Metz is now claiming that 40 percent of his stake in the company was stolen “by strangers and arrogant thieves … motivated by oppression, fraud and hatred.” Per Las Vegas Sun..
Matze Wrote in the court filing The breach of contract and defamation claims that the parlor was “hijacked to further the personal political interests and personal interests of the defendants rather than serve as a free expression platform as originally conceived.” Both Mercer and Bongino have been named as defendants in the lawsuit, along with Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Wernick and the parlor’s new interim CEO, a Tea Party worker. Mark Maker.
Metz wrote in the suit That the company was initially formed using a holding company created with Mercer’s involvement in it, and a financial dispute ensued (he said, Mercer would have to repay 60 percent of its equity stake as a loan that needed to be repaid). He added that Mercer seemed to be losing interest in the site around November 2020 – it is not clear exactly when, but when this would have happened at that time. Parlor signups Were growing The election was rigged amid Trump’s claims – and he has since refused to compromise on proposals for tougher moderation in the wake of the riots. Per NPR:
“Metz’s proposal was met with dead silence, which he rejected.”
Metz claims that Mercer brings in colleagues, including Wernick, “to get him out of the company.”
The lawsuit alleges that Wernicke threatened Metz with “legal claims and an avalanche of costs if he dared to deny Mercer.”
According to the lawsuit, Wernick told Metz not to consult his own lawyer and threatened to “destroy” him if he did.
G / O media can get commission
Matiz plays himself to be an innocent mental patsy in a suit. Court documents claim that his final replacement, after meeting Mackler, made it clear to Metz that Maker’s efforts were not to grow the parlor as a free expression platform, but to turn Mackler into a director known as the “top of the spearhead.” For brand accuracy keeping in mind the preferences of Mercer. Consider the obvious points of the parlor Ideological sabotage, Who sought to be tempted to register an account with Trump Equity’s Promises In the summer of 2020, and that Metz boasted Ban on liberal “trolls” On the site, it’s hard to claim Metz had no idea his site would be used to seriously advance the right-wing agenda.
Eventually, Metz claims in the lawsuit that the parlor management smelled him with suggestions of misconduct and breaches of his responsibilities. Manager, when in reality the site continued to come back online using a very poorly developed technical game plan. (Like McLaren really lacked the technical know-how to run such a social media platform and his real role was simply to advance the political agenda – beyond lack of implementation.)) He also writes that as part of the shakedown, Mercer’s people Value “decided to be a criterion Three dollars.
Maybe on that, We can agree: a parlor is worth about 7. 50 7.50, depending on whether you give or take a few giveaways to help provoke other failed revolts successfully.
However, Metz has stated that his stake in the Internet halo is actually worth millions, and in internal discussions he and Mercer have valued the place at billion 1 billion or more.
Metz’s attorney James Pisanelli told the Sun in a statement that the former CEO was “waiting to present and support his claims in court.”
