The patent troll is literally named Rothschild, and there whole thing is he runs a network of matryoshka-esque shell companies, that do the patent trolling.

One of the major points of this legal battle is that Valve is saying ‘look, this dude has a network of shell companies, he is submitting blatent bullshit in the form of actual misconduct during legal proceedings, to the court, we want to sue him personally for damages.’

The case that this article is about mentions this, has that link right there in it, but, that particular case is not the one that was decided, that the article is primarily about.

The case that the article is primarily about is the one with so many egregious instances of legal malpractice that occured during it, that Valve started the suit in that link, to literally sue Rothschild for damages.

Like uh, in the proceedings of the case the OP article is about… the Rothschild shell company sued Valve for things that Valve already had a valid contract with them to use.

The Rothschild lawyer/legal team literally said ‘oh oops we didn’t realize that before I sued you.’

This is an insanely stupid thing to do.

The Rothschild lawyer/legal team also submitted to the court a bunch of hallucinated AI references to ‘precedent establishing cases’ that either did not even exist, or, were massively misconstrued, as the actual cases were nothing like what the Rothschild legal team described.

This is also an insanely stupid thing to do.

I don’t know that you meant to respond to me but thank you for the extra context.

Apparently it’s not the Rothschild family but an independent patent troll based in NY?

Its not an independent patent troll that is different from the guy named Rothschild.

Is the guy named Rothschild a member of /the/ Rothschild family?

I am not 100% certain of that, but I am certain that the guy named Rothschild and the patent troll in NY are the same thing.

… Somewhat strangely, despite there literally being a https://leighmrothschild.com/ where he glazes the fuck out of hinself… there isn’t very much publically available info about the guy.

The rich guy, who just lost a lawsuit because he / his legal representatives confidently lied and provided false information to a judge.

Who prefers the term ‘patent accumulator’.

The guy who has a personal website that says:

Rothschild leads a well-rounded life, pursuing a variety of personal interests that reflect his multifaceted personality. He has a deep passion for traveling, exploring new cultures, and broadening his global perspective. Whether it’s visiting remote destinations or experiencing the world’s most iconic landmarks, Rothschild’s love for adventure fuels his creativity and sense of curiosity.

“I am a well rounded person and my real passion is travelling.”

… Uh… huh… yeah…

Apparently he got his undergrad degree at the University of Miami in 73, was born in 1952… and… managed to get his first patent in 73 as well.

How many people have the resources/connections to get a patent while doing their college education, by age 21?

Not saying he didn’t, I am saying that sure seems like he’s had connections and money from a young age.

I can’t explicitly tie him to /the/ Rothschild family, not with just 30 minutes of searching.

But he certainly is one of the most obnoxiously arrogrant, blue-blooded asshats I’ve ever encountered, and… I had a few econ and poli sci professors that regularly attended CFR meetings, or took a sabbatical from working at Goldman Sachs and Black Rock to work as a finance professor, shit like that.
