>Following inquiries from a number of riggers regarding data protection and IP protection, AniLive states that it is unable to properly adapt L2D models to the AniLive app from external programs, and requires the assets be directly uploaded to AniLive's servers.

>AlphaAzur, a JP streamer, opens a RUST server to multiple vtubers.
>FalseEyeD, following up reporting and research of /lig/ anons, among other sources, corroborates that MSM Talent is not a valid company, and that there are disparaging remarks being issued from MSM to sponsors and other vtubers. He also confirms that Grimmi's Hot Sauce company is also not a valid LLC. In the process of this research, he also discovered that Seth, the "owner" of MSM Talent, also owns a vtuber design guild, Spite Engine, that has not been paying artists and riggers.

Local
>Shigure Ui currently leads IndieCar's 13th series.
>Ogey Calibur continues on 5/17 @ 11a ET.

Corrections
>The previous round-up mistakenly listed the dates of the NijiEN/Chronoir concerts at Anime Expo as 6/10. The dates of those concerts are 7/6 and 7/7.
>The previous round-up mistakenly listed news regarding Magical Girl HoloWitch under Nijisanji's header. It is obviously Hololive news. (This was already corrected in the last OP).
>The previous round-up mistakenly credited Amiya Aranha with winning the Indie 500 twice in a row. She has won the IndieCar Championship twice, but this was the first time she had won the Indie 500.
>The previous round-up mistakenly stated that Henya's 3D Showcase would be "before the end of May". Henya stated it would be "before the end of July". If you're reading this last, you may be confused. Don't sweat the details.

Seth, owner of MSM, quote-retweets False with a public statement regarding the allegations.
https://x.com/sethwmad/status/1791953056680059335

Krimbo went live shortly afterward to react to it.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2149298688
During the stream, Meat spoke out in chat, stating that she had given her personal information to one person (within MSM), and found that information leaked online some time later.

MSM member Kabhaal quote-retweeted Seth's statement, speaking in his defense and doubling-down in select replies.
https://x.com/KabhaalVT/status/1791970206358605842
Bird the Robot of Sigrid and Bird retweeted Kabhaal's statement.

Earlier today, Lucy Pyre announced on-stream that she had left MSM due to a "difference in goals and mindsets." She follows Grape of Girls FC and flesh-streamer F1NN5TER in this move, the latter of whom Krimbo claims to be responsible for by sharing information with her.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2148969559?t=00h57m02s

At the end of Aethel's stream today, which overlapped the release of Seth's statement, he addressed the issue by stating that his Castle (fanbase/brand) is not MSM, and that he is consulting with an independent legal team regarding the allegations. He also says that while he has no negative experiences with MSM, that doesn't mean nothing happened, and that he's interested in discussing the blacklist allegations when there are more details.

https://x.com/kuramekira/status/1791150583497560173
There does seem to be some sorta war being raged against ASMR on adult platforms for some reason. It's really strange as it's the one sort of 'porn' you don't have to really worry about your kids being exposed to. In addition to being completely arbitrary in this case, given the other sorts of ASMR one can easily find on Youtube, and the actual porn you can get on Patreon.

There was actually two other vtubers that went live on Friday that were former MSM talent members to talk about their experiences, Tiffany Witcher and Fuululuu. Neither one left the vods up accessible to the general public, but here are some quick notes from the streams

Tiffany Witcher:
>Told to stop making sad posts on Twitter after her dad died by Seth and wasn't allowed time to grieve his loss in the way she felt was needed.
>Was told she'd get health insurance, didn't
>Scared enough of Seth that the idea that he could dox her if she went against him actually went through her head, mentioned that if her information winds up on 4chan "you know who did it"
>Is epileptic, wanted to do an accessibility test on Meet Your Oshi to find out if it could trigger seizures before playing the game. Seth told her to just shut up and play the game or else.
>Was told to her face that she, as a black woman, could be "The Female Heavenlyfather" by Seth
https://streamable.com/23o5xe
>Was eventually let go from MSM and was left financially in a bad situation and facing eviction

Fuuluulu:
>Went over her contract from when she was with MSM on stream and said it's 100% accurate to the one False showed.
>Msm would overwork and underpay artists and editors, threaten to replace you if you complained or said you need more time
>At some point someone within msm did "some fucky shit" and msm had to become involved. Seth had to make a choice whether to keep somebody on or not and as a result fuululu and someone else got put on a ~2 months probation within msm
>Probation involves a ban from the general chat in the msm discord and no communication with msm, supposedly wasn't supposed to affect sponsorships but fuululu was unable to participate in a charity event due to the lack of communication
>fuululu didn't have access to her own @msm.gg business email and had to have emails manually forwarded to her until after a year while her friend had access to it from the beginning
>Accusations of favoritism, cliques, shittalking about mythic talent, 3am, and other groups
>If you were an msm talent and Seth didn't like you, he would isolate you.
>Seth doesn't like lewdtubers and would openly disparage them Despite this he has cottontail on his roster
>Fuululu didn't want to live in fear of being doxxed so she put out all her info for people to see
>When she mentioned this to Seth he said something like "Yeah being doxxed isn't really that big of a deal", which as a fun note, was almost used in a post verbatum earlier that day when /lig/ was discussing coqui being possibly doxxed by MSM >>76004728

Reda points out that the current statute says that it's a misdemeanor punishable by a fine to operate a business in Maryland while it is forfeited.

Kinda hope not. Vtubers will end up being deplatformed left and right. There seems to be a huge neo-puritanical movement lately, where corporations are picking up where government censorship failed, and they are waging war against the most innocuous shit that harms absolutely no one, like ASMR.

In the latest development of the ongoing MSM controversy, online entertainment lawyer Legal Mindset is going to be reviewing a copy of the MSM talent contract live on stream and talking about the topic of contract enforceability. Large indie Coqui, one of the primary victims of MSM's harassment, has decided to push back her stream on the topic until after this Legal Mindset stream has concluded

It might be a regional thing, but I haven't had an issue with website access at all during this. My bookmark to Twitter.com redirects to x.com, if I open a tweet and change x to twitter it redirects me to x. yt-dlp didn't work with x until I updated it with "yt-dlp -U". I'm signed in to an account.

An issue I did start having a few days ago is that the page for push notification settings is completely blank and I don't receive any push notifications at all.

Just doing the rounds:
There's an MSM, LLC in Georgia, set up by Mark Ross (2/11/11-2/15/16)
There's the one in Maryland, already discussed.
There's one in New Mexico which IS ACTIVE, run by Dr. Frank Mirabal, set up 11/04/19.
The company is described as "Developing an independent media network, using audio (podcasting), video, and written works."
There's one active in Pennsylvania (has been since 2000), but the website sucks and I can't mine anything. It doesn't look like it's the right one, though, given that it was founded in 2000.
There's an MSM, LLC in Virginia, set up by one Jared Smith, but it's also expired (8/31/19-11/30/22).

So, in sum: there are two LLCs in America which are (1) called "Mad Scientist Media" and (2) are currently active. The one in Pennsylvania, which has been active since 2000, is probably a false positive. That leaves the one in New Mexico, although that one also seems suspicious/not a good match.
My bet for the one Kabhaal was talking about is the Virginia one--it's close to Maryland and was made around the same time. Because of the two LLCs (especially the New Mexico one), I can't say for sure, but it doesn't seem likely that Weinstein's MSM, LLC is still around anywhere.

I haven't looked into the situation enough to know what the allegations are in terms of speaking on that front. For the fake-LLC business, so long as he provided them the service I don't think it's an issue. LLCs aren't formal corporate entities (like cos., corps., and incs.), they're more akin to partnerships and "groups" just with some additional legal paperwork. One reason this matters is where lawsuits would be brought: for real companies it's where they're headquartered or incorporated. For LLCs you ignore the paperwork and look at where the people who run the LLC live--so any suit against Seth would be brought where he lives, not where the LLC was/is. If you have more details I can speak more about it. (It also depends somewhat on the contract--or rather, they could sue him for violating the contract separately from the fraud--but LM hasn't streamed on that yet.)

Beyond much of the hearsay-tied topics, I do agree that it's odd that the LLC being registered in another location (it's New Mexico, btw) wasn't mentioned at all OTHER THAN to address the contracts stating Maryland on them. The CPA dying causing several year delays is, sadly, not too far-fetched, but doesn't account for the full scope of those forfeiture records. So that still needs addressal.

I will say though, the legitimacy of the contracts is a funny thing and would basically have to come down to a judge's ruling - as well as if both parties do or don't agree whether the contract still holds legal weight. Which, to keep simple, won't matter unless someone currently under contract sues MSM.

At this point, while I'm willing to take all testimony at face value for now, we're gonna need some major receipts for the rest of the matters. And getting THOSE is seeming pretty unlikely at the moment.

The law says a forfeited LLC is not prevented from "defending any action, suit or proceeding in a court of this State"--not bringing one (e.g., to enforce a contract).
Similarly, he didn't commit that misdemeanor if he operated MSM, LLC of NM after MCM, LLC of MD was forfeit.
>>76180306
A lot of this depends on whether a judge would find bad faith. Seth, after all, didn't abandon the entire business--he did set up a new LLC in the state to which he moved. It seems most likely that, when Seth moved to New Mexico, he set up the new LLC, started operating under it, and ignored the old Maryland LLC. Unfortunately, it looks really bad in state records if you just "ignore" the LLC you own.

I'm guessing this fiasco may not be ultimately a malicious thing (aside from the blacklisting, which is probably just kids being kids).

Yeah, that's my understanding of the situation too. The issue that this is even caused by is the fact that the contracts that have RECENTLY been made seem to still say they're dictacted by Maryland - which would be an extremely simple thing to amend, yet it doesn't seem like they're taking any steps towards doing so, or even acknowledging it. That detail in particular makes me wonder if ignoring it is intentional as a means of avoiding some other litigation or something - but I'm no lawyer so I really do not know.

>In terms of the "Other LLCs" mentioned - These were utilized when I was serving as an independent contractor at a number of different businesses to protect myself.
>These LLCs are in forfeiture because I genuinely did not make use of them beyond what they were originally created for. After this there was no reason maintain the LLCs.
>There have been claims that I endorse the doxxing of individuals and specifically that I would make threats to doxx individuals. This is a ridiculous and completely untrue statement. As a talent representative, I do not endorse doxxing, and actively work to prevent the doxxing of many vtubers and other community figures as I believe its a safety risk.
>In terms of the tweet shown from 2017, I was a 21 year old and at the time I thought it was something that was acceptable, when for many obvious reasons it was not. The posts were made out of what was then an attempt at overly cringe humor which does not reflect on how I feel about anything.
>As for the facebook account. My personal account had been hacked and relates to a situation completely separate from my current work. It's unrelated, but also a consequence of past mistakes which I've been working to grow and improve from, as an individual, and as a business owner.
>Court date -- This is a personal matter and has nothing to do with MSM or its finances in any way. The personal matter had been something I was not fully aware of because I was moving, but has been promptly resolved with the collection company.
>In regards to False's statement around claims against him.

>As a talent representative, I always have to have the best interest of my talent at heart. Which will, at times, mean being the guard that has to give warnings to people who wish to interact with them. It often makes me a "bad guy" to other people. Ultimately, my goal is to simply protect my talent.
>MSM's creators have the ability to leave at any time with no repercussions. As far as has been communicated to us, talent has enjoyed working with MSM, and we've done everything we can to rectify any issues brought to us and we will continue to support them where we can. Ultimately, our talent's satisfaction is our top priority.
>I've been seeing this all unfold knowing that the thing that makes this as bad as it is are my past mistakes. I'm seeing my colleagues, friends, and talent harmed and caused unnecessary stress and fear. It's exhausting. I'm exhausted. I've worked for the past 3 years with our goal to build a place for talent to frow and accomplish their dreams, and we will continue to do so. We will continue to help this industry any way that we can. Asmongold was right. I was a hustler, working my ass off, trying to accomplish something and making a metric ton of mistakes along the way. But what we've built over the past 3 years is an amazingly talented team of staff that have molded MSM into the well-run talent management company it is today. I've learned from my past mistakes and have channeled that work ethic into this project. We've worked hard to ensure that the careers of everyone involved in MSM can grow. Thank you for listening to my side.

Legal Mindset's comments on Seth's defense and the MSM situation:
>Seth's excuse for having a defunct LLC makes sense for the initial defunct situation, but not for how long it has taken him to get it fixed. The most likely situation is that he needs to pay back taxes on his LLC.
>>Given forfeiture since 2021, that's three years of back taxes.
>>If the CPA died in 2021, why has it taken three years to get it fixed?
>>If the CPA died in 2024, why weren't taxes being paid for three years?
>The contracts are still enforceable on the talents' part(s) against the LLC and its directors.
>In case of a dispute (a lawsuit filed by a talent), the LLC would be the defendant but the lawsuit would also "pierce the veil" and the director/manager would be the defendant(s).
>The "blacklist" claim is a red herring. A list of people which MSM strongly suggests its talents not interact with may function as a blacklist, even without that name.
>As to the "Mad Scientist Media LLC" vs. "MSM Talent" it could be an issue (depending on Maryland law) if Mad Scientist Media LLC doesn't have "MSM Talent" registered as a d/b/a name AND used "MSM Talent" in official contracts.
>Coffee company = Phase Connect ????
>He protected himself with an LLC--that's normal. But multiple LLCs--that's very unusual. Why he had so many is strange.
>>Not maintaining LLCs is totally normal.
>There's not enough evidence about the claims regarding allegations of Seth's doxxing.
>Seth and False both need to be careful about defamation.
>>There's a line between protecting your talents and lying about others.
>LM says that Seth is technically committing a misdemeanor by operating with the forfeit LLC. [Note from me: it seems LM doesn't know about the new MSM, LLC of NM.]
>Forfeited LLC means no lawsuit FROM the LLC, but does allow lawsuit AGAINST the LLC.
>Now, to the contract!

Randonstock Neuringwatch anon here, It's a new week so lets do a quick lunch review!

ANYCOLOR AND COVER RISE TOGETHER
Both Anycolor and Cover have risen by the same amount today, as they both head to lunch at 2319 yen (+59) and 1942 yen (+59) respectively. Outside of the first hour where Cover was erratic, both are on the same trajectory as of the last hour and a half. Still, there's a lot of hours left so who knows what happens.

OTHER:
Speaking of rising, the Nikkei has risen up by 1.44% today.

That's all for now, surprisingly not much to write about when they're at the same pace. I'll see you all in 3 hours.

Coqui did her stream talking about the vtuber black list that MSM was running. She was very concise, with the vod being under an hour, and clipped by a lig anon here. It has a lot of shown documents about some events, although she did not show a lot of things out of other people's privacy
https://mega.nz/file/pQlkBBAB#9kJU_jxILGM8lgZ7B4a4qW-qCA10NS5ivJVZd-0Fb9A

Some bullet points:
>Coqui reiterates Multiple times not to go after vtubers or streamers for this as she believes that they were manipulated by Seth, and explicitly states she hopes some people, specifically tob, reach out to her stating "Tob I miss you, and I want to mend things with you. I mean that from the bottom of my heart"
>Coqui showed proof on screen that Krimbo, Herself, and 3am's manager tried to reach out to Seth from MSM to try and see if they could address and squash rumors one on one together. He ghosted them every single time.
>Coqui states that Sigrid and bird left the southsdie because she had goals that could not be achieved within the group. Coqui also states that Herself and Meat had a falling out with Sigrid and Bird in private.
>Sigrid Joins MSM, notices that people who they were previously friends with stop talking to herself, Meat, and the Southside after joining MSM
>Coqui learns late last year that Sigrid has been saying things about Coqui to other MSM talents, gets upset and banned Sigrid and Bird.
>Sigrid and Bird scrubbed all chat message history with Coqui.
>A bit back Coqui reaches out to Bird to try and see if things can be mended, but silence.
>States that Seth was interviewing both her and Tob around the same time, however they declined to pick her up. It was revealed later that Seth has bragged to others that the interview was a fake and he was never going to hire Coqui, and that soon after Coqui's vtuber group 3am announced her as a member, doxx appeared in the forms of both pictures and pastebin with personal information.
>Coqui also reiterates Meat's story of giving someone within MSM her personal information for an industry party that required personal info and the personal info soon after being posted online.
>Coqui notices people stop interacting with herself, Meat, Southside, and 3am towards the end of last year. They being to hear from parties both inside MSM and outside of MSM that sex has claimed that Coqui and Meat are serial 4chan doxxers and uses out of context 4chan posts to prove it. Coqui confirms Seth bragged to people at industry events and within MSM that he has a "pocket 4chan janitor" who tracks IPs of people he doesn't like, but he never showed talents any actual proof of this, and coqui points out how 4chan Janitors cannot see your IP, meaning Seth lied to people about this.
>Tob was originally slated to be part of 3am alongside the original launch group. Coqui showed unused art for the 3am Launch with her in it. She proceeded to show a timeline where Tob gets into MSM talent and is still planning to join 3am as well, similar to Geega being in Vshojo or buffpup being in VICHIBAN, until about a month before they start finalizing things that Tob backs out claiming she has an audition with 'Some other group' and didn't feel OK committing to 3am with that possibly in the works. A text is show on screen of the 3am talents being supportive.
>Not long after this, Tob ceases contact with them all together.
>Coqui confirms that this same sort of thing happened to Takahata 101 and showed texts turned over to her of people slandering taka
>Coqui says people who were close to Seth until recently told them that he had been badmouthing them, people in mythic talent, and many others at industry panels and events.
>Coqui also says other sources have said Seth is 'giddy" that 4chan has noticed him.
>After she stated this, someone dropped Doxx of Coqui in /lig/ with her full name and photo.
>Coqui confirms artist weren't paid by MSM and that it will be coming out soon
>Coqui apologizes to all her friends both inside and outside of MSM who got caught in the crossfire

Gawk Hawk anon here, it's time to close the chapter on today's activity.

ANYCOLOR ROLLS AFTER LUNCH
Anycolor stock went on a steady decline after lunch despite their beginnings today. They close out at 2292 yen (+32) as the 2300 barrier evades them for the day. A good sign for them as uncertainty still lingers on how they'll move going forward.

Another thing to note that while it's not a majority opinion yet, the stock has gained some favor amongst those that have voted in the JP board, currently a 52% majority still prefers to sell. Still It's no longer a overwhelming majority.

COVER FUMBLES AFTER LUNCH
Anycolor isn't alone however, as Cover takes a slightly harsher dip after lunch. They close out at 1908 yen (+25) for tonight, earning their way back into the 1900s for now. They're trajectory was almost the same as Anycolor's for the most part.

Surprisingly however, of the people that voted Sell was higher at Cover than Anycolor, with Cover at 62% and Anycolor at 52% as we mentioned before. Due remember however, both boards have a high variance in activity, meaning a vote has less/more weight depending on the stock. Still, Cover's board is way more popular so it's quite notable for a majority like that.

OTHER NEWS:
The NIKKEI fell after lunch slightly, they rose by 0.73% today.
Here are today's trading volumes:
Anycolor: 506k
Cover Corp: 6.8 Million
Over the weekend, the NijiEN/Chronair concerts were discussed on the Anycolor board. Some even pointing out that majority of the seats are currently empty, and doubting they'll get filled based on the M&Gs at Seattle with Anime Impulse and VRhapsody. Though some do believe that EN at the very least is "failing"
There was also discussion about the official subreddit and r/kurosanji, taking note that before the official subreddit's purge that it quickly became "a truly lawless zone." as one poster said, and acknowledging that r/kurosanji was of Anti-Nijisanji sentiment. Overall it's been acknowledged that Niji Antis want to destroy EN.
Whether this info/sentiment will bring any stock changes, I highly doubt.

HOLD IT
There seems to have been another update to Cover's stock price right as I finished writing.
Cover is now at 1914 yen (+31) instead. I apologize for the discrepancy. Take Cover's graph as reparations.

That's all for now, forward any questions here.
Also, the next two reports will likely be delayed to the morning/afternoon, I'll be out of town taking care of some grandmother. I'll see you all later.

If Seth is telling you the New Mexico LLC is his, that's another lie. The owner of that one is a Frank Mirabal, who, while he owns a podcast company, is definitely not Seth. You can find him on his Twitter @FrankMirabal. The only record that matches is the one in Maryland, which, if you check your contract, will say "Mad Scientist Media LLC" in the state of Maryland.

Coverage of ongoing MSM Incident(s):
Note from the Desk: This section will include a lot of social media activity and crossposting that is not typically covered or used in round-ups. Part of this is because the CEO is plausibly /here/ and attempting to bend the narrative. There is a lot of data, and we do not want to misrepresent the facts by leaving out potentially important information. Linked posts have been scrutinized for veracity, but readers are always advised to verify information for themselves, from the source, where possible. News round-ups do not use hidden sources or make their own speculations, except where explicitly noted, or clearly a joke. However, there are no jokes in this particular post due to the sensitive nature of the subject.
>Krimbo comes forward with more stories of blacklisting by MSM. Among these incidents include Seth (the CEO) claiming that vtubers he did not like were in fact 4chan doxxfags, falsely claiming that he was able to IP trace the posts back to those talents with the help of a janny he allegedly had in his pocket. Readers will note that this reality where run-of-the-mill 4chan jannies have the ability to IP trace individual posts is, in fact, not our reality.
>Seth quote-retweets False with a public statement regarding the allegations. He denies all claims, except that the LLC is not licensed in the State of Maryland, which he states this was being corrected.
>Krimbo went live shortly after this to react to it. During this stream, Meat stated in chat that she had given her personal information to somebody within MSM, then found that info leaked online later.
>MSM member Kabhaal quote-retweets Seth's statement, defending him and doubling down on specific statements. Bird the Robot of Sigrid & Bird retweets this statement. Kabhaal later apologized for issuing this statement, but did not issue a retraction.
>Lucy Pyre announces on stream that she left MSM due to "a difference in goals and mindsets". This marks the third MSM talent to leave the group, following Grape and F1NN5TER.
>Aethel addresses his awareness of the issue, claims he is not personally aware of the situation, and notes that he is currently in discussion with an independent legal team regarding the situation. He also states that his own brand is not MSM. While he states he is not aware of any negative experiences with MSM, he does not deny the allegations, and is interested in discussion of the blacklist allegations when more details come to light.
>Tiffany Witcher, former MSM talent, comes forward, stating that Seth tried to tell her that she could be "The Female HeavenlyFather", refused to allow her time to grieve or the ability to check accessiblity settings on a game (for her epilepsy), and has concerns that Seth can and would doxx her. She states that if her information winds up on 4chan "you know who did it".
>Fuuluulu, another talent that formerly worked with MSM, goes over her contract and corroborates it as being identical to the one FalseEyeD showed on a stream. She also states that MSM overworked and underpaid artists, forced her on probation for 2 months, and didn't get access to her business email until over a year after she was with the company. She also corroborates the accusations of favoritsm, internal cliques, and shittalking of other groups (such as 3am, Mythic, ect). As she feared having her information doxxed in retaliation, she opted to just distribute it openly herself. When she mentioned it to Seth, he claimed "being doxxed isn't that big of a deal".
>Krimbo posts an image from a Maryland legal website stating that LLCs cannot sue, but can be sued.
>Reda Ou, another Southside member, shows an excerpt from a Maryland statute stating that operating a forfeited business in Maryland is a misdemeanor punishable by fine (of up to $500).
>Legal Mindset goes over some of the details of the incident and legal complications surrounding LLCs. You can find a summary of that discussion here: >>76193538
>An anon transcribes the entire MSM contract. You can find that transcription starting here, but be advised that it is interrupted by a Niji news report (which has a youtube link at the top): >>76199678
>Coqui talks about her interactions with MSM and their blacklist. There are too many details to summarize in this post, so readers are advised to read this summary: >>76206625
>A couple of anons investigate Seth's claim that the LLC has been re-filed in New Mexico, only to find that Seth Weinstein is not an officer nor any registered agent of any New Mexican company, and that his name is not included in any listings affiliated with any MSM LLC, including alternative spellings and shorthand. The MSM LLC that exists in New Mexico has no discernable affiliations with Seth, despite his claims.

Adding on to the information about MSM CEO Seth, it was revealed last night that he has another company under his belt that's still servicing VTubers: a merch storefront called glitchless.gg. So far this company has provided merch websites for large indie and MSM talent GrimmiVT as well as large indie and close friend of Coqui's Laimu/Limealicious. Details and evidence relating to this finding can be found in the quoted post below

This reply I'm about to make is purely speculation, but it's something that I think is worth consideration so I'm going to mention it here.

In response to this finding, Anons in /lig/ were wondering what damage Seth could do with this company and its position in the VTuber ecosystem, and someone mentioned an incident from years ago where small indie VTuber Little S operated the merch store for fellow VTuber and object of his affection Yozora Aoi. When Yozora rejected his advances, Little S became belligerent and threatened to dox every viewer who had bought something from her merch store. Anons were concerned: Would Seth really have the same kind of access to customers' information? And what would he be willing to do with it?

No, sadly, Seth and friends have been spreading vicious rumors about various talents in an effort to gatekeep and isolate groups and competitors, in addition to outright doxxing various vtubers, even /here/, noless. It's entirely malicious.

It may not yet be Nijisanji bad, as there still seems to be a profit motive behind the malicious behavior, rather than pure vengeful insanity, but if the company is allowed to keep rolling, it's only a matter of time before it gains a critical mass of yes-men and becomes a similar cult. Hopefully the negative PR they are picking up here and elsewhere will help prevent that, and we won't have to see more suicide attempts as the crazed group ostracizes its own for not fitting in with "the family".

>Would Seth really have the same kind of access to customers' information?
Depends on how well-built his company is, and how much of sales operation is internal. Larger companies have legal teams and internal policies that prevent even those in authority from easily accessing that information without a blatant paper trail. A CEO can definitely get access to a random singular customer's data, but there would at bare minimum be evidence of access that he can't get rid of without looping more people in on his actions, including third parties. A lot of database tracking (particularly for sales) gets outsourced, so those companies would be the ones holding the data, and would be the ones asking questions if an executive were to come knocking for information.

MSM frankly does NOT sound terribly well-built, so I doubt they have a strong legal team or strong internal paper trails. You should assume that any and all data that enters the company is at Seth's disposal, especially considering the high likelihood of getting doxxed talents in the company seem to have. I haven't investigated how they do merch sales, but if it's not through a third party storefront, you should assume that yes, Seth plausibly has access to that data. And we have reasonable cause to suspect he would indeed use it.

Correction: Seth did not make this claim. This assertion originates from Kabhaal, before his "jumped the gun" apology.
https://x.com/KabhaalVT/status/1791984714502328395
Kabhaal does not specify which state. I don't know where New Mexico specifically comes from, other than possibly that Seth's current state of residence is publicly known.
It is unknown why Kabhaal believes this to be the case in the first place.

As this is not Seth's claim, it should be noted that it directly contradicts Seth's statements of renewing the Maryland LLC, as such action would not be necessary if MSM was re-established in a different state.

Distributing Personal Identifying Information without consent is a crime in every country with enforceable law. The actual punishment for doxxing varies by severity, scope of the leak, consequences of your leaking (some countries can hold you liable for any crime that is committed with the leaked info, even if you had nothing to do with it otherwise), exposure, and your jurisdiction of residence, but it is a crime everywhere that an actual justice system functions. Doing it en-masse can also be considered for various cybersecurity crimes, harassment, incitement, and a smorgasboard of other fun stuff depending on what happens after the doxx. And this is ignoring the civil liabilities from people that could sue him and the LLC (because remember, an LLC can be sued, but it can't sue).
Seth needs to exercise his right to Shut The Fuck Up, take his lumps, and get ready to lawyer up.
And remember, kids, the internet never forgets anything.

More on Perfect Presence, while I'm here. The RA was Donald (Cortez) Fontaine III, who lived in a townhouse north of Gaithersburg as of 2019 when Perfect Presence, LLC filed for reinstatement. The townhouse was sold most recently in 2022, so Fontaine no longer lives there. Montgomery County public tax records don't show ownership names, so I can't say anything more on that front.
Perfect Presence, LLC was created in 2016, forfeited in 2018, reinstated in 2019, and forfeited again in 2020. [Note: for Perfect Presence, it took only four months to get the LLC reinstated.] In all of the documents, the LLC's business address, RA address, and mailing address has been the same address (which is identified as the home address of the RA, Fontaine, which, as I already mentioned, was sold off in 2022).
There's no Perfect Presence in New Mexico, and Fontaine's name doesn't return any results there, either.

Hey, I'm not so good with law stuff, so correct me if I'm wrong:
If Seth had a CPA (he didn't in the initial filing, the Articles of Organization are publically available from the Maryland business search https://egov.maryland.gov/BusinessExpress/EntitySearch/Search and only list Seth's name) added or removed from the LLC, he'd have to file forms for that correct?
And those forms should be found in the same place as other records, right? Or does Maryland allow those to be kept from the public (although wouldn't that no longer be the case if the business is forfeit)?

>> No.76234052

>>76233746
Well, there's a difference between "publicly available" and "available on the Web-site" (without paying MD extra $$$).
>added or removed from the LLC
If the CPA died, probably not until he got a new one (who would remove the old and add the new).
>CPA (he didn't in the initial filing
Given that Seth's name is given as the RA, he could have just been paying a CPA (or any tax lawyer/accountant) on the side for that and kept himself as the main connection.
This is the main problem, though:
>he'd have to file forms
Mad Scientist Media, LLC and Perfect Presence, LLC were both forfeited (and Perfect Presence was forfeited twice) because of a failure to file the right forms.

True, but they should still be in the list of options one way or another, correct?

And they should be shown somewhere in the listing if they were ever registered to the LLC, whether it be from adding them as an RA later or removing them, correct? There should be SOME sort of paper trail for that if it was ever actually done, right?

The problem that anon is pointing out is that there SHOULD be a paper trail, and the LACK of paper trail was what created the current problems in the first place.

But those "legal consequences" would involve getting doxxed yourself--and by people none-too-sympathetic with your actions.

It was well-timed enough it feels deliberately orchestrated, like Coqui told someone to do it to play the victim. Seth would not benefit from those actions at all: Doxxing Coqui with that timing would do the opposite and hurt him by making the claims that he's a doxxer look more legitimate. There has yet to be any substantial proof that he's the one doxxing people; it's just Coqui at her word. If I were in Coqui's position, I'd ask someone like Meat to drop my doxx with that specific timing to concoct the illusion that everything I said was totally true without having to actually provide proof.

I will admit that random antis are a possibility I discounted, and random antis doing something immediately beneficial to Coqui is a possibility but one that isn't worth speculating about. It's a bit like Russell's Teapot because there's no way to know that for certain. As for why /lig/, it's an open secret that every single VTuber is /here/. Every single one. It would immediately give more weight to Coqui's claims among her peers because they saw her get doxxed immediately after saying Seth was going to doxx her.

>>76238271
Coqui and 3am benefit from this because it makes their claims look more true. If you prime the audience with "X is probably doxxing me," then get doxxed, the audience will immediately assume X did it. I haven't seen any receipts to verify that Seth has doxxed anyone, just Meat & Coqui saying that he probably did. By making it look like a sudden revenge-doxxing, they lend credence to their claims that Seth is doxxing them without having to rely on any form of evidence.

That's the thing, while it is beneficial to her in the long term, a random anti doxxing her is interested in short-term (You)s. And since you've mentioned Russell's teapot, I must bring up Occam's razor--in order of complication, (1) a random anti, (2) a disgruntled (but idiotic) Seth, or (3) another /lig/ger at Coqui's direction. I read many anons' salivating at Coqui's woman tears--what more needs be done to relish them than to doxx her in /lig/ just as she decries the horrors of the practice?
>several things that suggest the opposite
I agree. Based on what I've heard of what Seth's said vis-a-vis doxxing, his threats weren't promises but rather a scare tactic to keep MSM talents (apparently only some of them?) in line. The Little_S situation is a good comparator, but has led to some confusion.

But hey, maybe you're not Seth, and some folks will just band behind a corporation in any given situation, regardless of the facts (even when said corp doesn't legally exist).

Occam's razor works against you here: You're adding in a 3rd party, who happens to coincidentally do it with that timing, who happened to save Coqui's dox from 6 months ago? It is a possibility, yes, but the timing was auspicious enough that any arguments in favor of it being a random anti apply equally well to it being an intentional self-dox timed for maximum emotional impact. Krimbo discussed in /trash/ that South Side (now 3am) deliberately pushed discussion of people on this board during partner pushes, and organized collabs to inflate viewercount to reach partner.

In other words, it is from their own mouths that we have confirmation that they DO deliberately attempt to manipulate the threads to their own benefit. Manipulation in this specific manner would be new for them, but manipulation as a growth tactic is something they admit to.

I don't think we'll come to a complete agreement on this. It's impossible to completely rule out the possibility of it being a random anti, but I personally find it less likely than something organized by 3am. I believe Seth is the least likely of the 3 possibilities because of how out of character it would be. The man is a lying weasel, and it's clear from his response to the drama on Twitter that he prefers to rely on spewing out constant lies to obfuscate the issue and waste time until the other party is bored. When pressed, he lashes out with LYING, not acts of vengeance.

This applies equally, if not with more force, to your argument with regard to Coqui engaging another VTuber to act on her behalf. There's not much coincidence here: Coqui's stream was announced, /lig/ is a well-known abode, and doxxes from far older than six months are kept "for the right time". There's no "3rd party" as there's only Coqui and the doxxer;--the question is just how planned would the doxx have to be.
Seth has the ability to dox Coqui, but probably wouldn't have held on to the specific doxx image which was posted (which had already been posted around, so I heard), so he's less likely. However, just as well, why would Coqui hold on to a doxx posted in /lig/ for use at some later time? The idea of re-posting a doxx of oneself for emotional benefit on a board devoid of emotion coincidentally timed to a comment made in a stream directed towards a Twitch and Twitter audience is far-out enough that I immediately thought of Occam's razor. I also don't know why it's so hard for you to believe that a random anon (of which there are many in /vt/ and were many at that time in /lig/) would not have a doxx folder lying about at ready disposal.
>Manipulation in this specific manner would be new for them, but manipulation as a growth tactic is something they admit to.
It's also quite a stretch to say equate "positive manipulation to reach Partner status" and "negative manipulation to push an agenda". This is especially so where, as here, her doxx is actually being spread.
>I believe Seth is the least likely

It is not that it is hard to believe, it is that it feels less likely considering the circumstances. I consider it the second most plausible option.
>It's also quite a stretch to say equate "positive manipulation to reach Partner status" and "negative manipulation to push an agenda"
I don't think it is, frankly. Emotionally manipulating a community is emotionally manipulating a community. Whether you're talking about how great you are in third person to make them believe it or posting negative things about yourself to make them come to your defense isn't significantly different.
>I agree (as I said above)
Well, then I guess there's not much point to continuing the chain of replies. By the nature of imageboards it's impossible to make convincing arguments about the character and personality of the groups of people inhabiting a board and it comes solely down to one's personal experiences. I've personally seen enough VTubers doing things similar to this before that it's always my first explanation when it comes to things like this, and I expect you haven't had the same experience, so there's no way for me to change your mind short of forcing you to become a VTuber and experience things like that firsthand.

On the other hand, I also don't spend a lot of time on these boards, because 4chan post 2010 sucks ass.

Part of it, I suppose, is that my arguments are in some sense an abstraction: I haven't actually watched Coqui's stream, so I'm taking it the collectively anon-ity of /vt/ that she was actually, seriously, not-just-because-she's-a-woman-and-faking-it sad.
Similarly, you impute to /lig/gers at large the actions of a few, which, while probably not totally wrong, isn't strong evidence of any individual case, like this one, where there indicators contrariwise.
>Emotionally manipulating a community
I used "manipulation" as it was your turn, but I don't really buy the concept of "positive manipulation" sans "p-m-". That's just astroturfing. I also think that there's a clear difference between speaking about yourself in the third person to say that you're good, which is something people generally believe and want to have happen, with self-doxxing, which is generally bad and unwanted. There is an additional level of foresight and agency involved in deliberately self-doxxing to try to prove this point than is involved in sporadic astroturfing on /vt/, both in terms of patterns of behavior, the subject matter of the communications, and the relevance to specific, current events.

>> No.76242879

The most important question for situations like this is "Qui bono?"
If Seth did it, his benefit would be an emotional rush from taking revenge, and the drawback would be proving Coqui, Meat, etc correct, endangering his fake business, and destroying his own revenue source. I haven't seen anything that suggests he chases those rushes, much less at the cost of income.

If a random anon did it, the benefit would be an emotional rush from (you) farming, with the drawback of getting banned for a few days.

If someone from 3am did it as a false flag, the benefit would be proving Coqui correct while smearing Seth, and the drawback would that Coqui's doxx (which is already available) would become slightly more well-known. I HAVE seen things that suggest 3am uses manipulative tactics like this in both /lig/ and formerly /wvt/. Krimbo accidentally revealed that they did that on-stream and then tried to play it off as normal in /trash/.

But "a woman"--not necessarily Coqui. My point there is that it is more intellectual work to impute to VTubers the deliberate self-doxx to prove a point than the benign, astroturf-lite self-posting. In the first place, it's a bit of a stretch even to say that people are /here/ -- then after that to say that they post things about themselves (I am here) -- then to use posting in /lig/ to prove a point (you are here).

He's young, angry, irresponsible, and in over his head, and in this industry, that combination often leads to exactly those sort of responses: spreading rumors and doxxing.

On the topic of your WACTOR comparison, I think it's also a difference in culture and in time. Based on his public pronouncements and, apparently, based on what he's been saying to the MSM crew behind closed doors, Seth knows how to act professional, and even be professional, on occasion. This leads me to believe that he would never do anything so obviously both unprofessional (at a time when he is being heavily scrutinized) and bad for his position as doxxing a talent. His response on Twitter shows that he wants to come out of this with a working company--doxxing people as he is now accused of doing would be a good exit, not a good (re-)start.

Given all the people coming out of the woodwork accusing him, I think Seth has to be entirely capable of unprofessional conduct, especially if he can do it while posting anonymously. I'd potentially lay the blame at people directly under him, at the furthest, but there are apparently not many of those. Even if he's not responsible for this latest doxxing, he's clearly been claimed as responsible for so many others that it would make his responsibility for this one a natural assumption. It's extremely unreasonable, at this point, to assume too professional to be doxxing people, while also being so unprofessional that he'd let his LLC lapse, among a great other number of procedural faux pas.

Don't include "we" here, because I haven't heard any stories like this before. Can you name a few that have done that for me? Spreading rumors and blacklisting people is entirely expected from a management company because certain people are a brand risk because of actions they've taken in the past. The line between "tortuous interference" and "sensible business practice" is very fuzzy there.
