[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another question: Wallace's deposition seems so obviously to be loaded with falsehoods that it seems crazy to me. Like just for instance, here is a conversation from October 2024 between Melissa Nathan, Jed Wallace, and a redacted entity (a client of TAG and Wallace) discussing work TAG and Wallace are doing for the client: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.1043.10.pdf

The conversation clearly shows TAG and Wallace discussing, in some detail, manipulating algorithms on behalf of the client in order to suppress certain info and promote other info. In his deposition, Wallace denies this is something he does, or is even capable of doing, and claims this was entirely "puffery."

If Wallace is telling the truth in his deposition, then he was lying to this client and, as well as Wayfarer, about his abilities and his actual work, while collecting large payments. That's fraud. On the other hand, if he's lying in his deposition, that's perjury. If he's committing perjury, you have to ask why, which raises the strong likelihood that if he is lying, the behavior he is lying to conceal is worse than fraud.

No matter how you slice it, Wallace seems like a bad actor here. And then it's just a multiple choice quiz as to which unethical, illegal activity he engaged in.

I’m sure this will turn out to be as accurate as the 1000 bot army that one or more of you claimed Wallace  employed and would easily be proven after discovery.[/quote]

You're sure *what* will be that accurate? Wallace either lied to his clients or he lied in his deposition. There is no other option, as there is multiple documented instances of Wallace telling clients that he employed a team of people who could manipulate algorithms to boost certain content and suppress other content, and there is documentation that he was paid tens of thousands of dollars a month to do this. But in his deposition, he says he employed no team, that he is the only employee of Street Relations, and that the only work he has ever done for clients is to monitor online activity on their behalf.

So: fraud or perjury? Which do you think it is?[/quote]

Since he said under penalty of perjury it was puffery, I’m going with that.  I suspect most pr people oversell their services,

[b]He wasn’t really paid very much[/b], probably the equivalent of the legal fees generated for Gottlieb et al for one motion for sanctions.

[/quote]

[b]Wallace was paid 90 thousand dollars for three months of work[/b].  As a yearly salary that would be $360,000 per year, more than most people here make I would wager.  Whoever is just straight out lying on this board to benefit Baldoni for some weird reason should give it a rest, it's just silly and not believable.  $90K in 3 months as "not really paid very much" lolol.[/quote]

$90,000 for professional services is not very much, I strongly disagree.  It’s in line with the other pr firm was paid here, amd like I said earlier, about what Lively would spend to fully brief one motion for sanctions.  Professional fees are not the equivalent as salary.

Would really love to see how much Blake is paying for the former CIA operative she hired to help her with social media pr.  That would provide a good basis for comparison.[/quote]

Au contraire, $90K for three months of work to one person (Wallace says he worked alone and didn't have a team) is a crazy amount of money.  That you're trying to posture this as "not really ... very much" is bananas to most people here on dcum.  I'm a lawyer and I make less than this when it's worked out per diem.  Nice try, Baldoni ass kisser.[/quote]

Not a very successful one if you think $90,000 is a significant amount of professional billings.

Again, Blake’s guy, Nick Shapiro  spent $50 million a year to run a similar pr effort at Airbnb.[/quote]
