Legal Eagle

Go To

I just discovered this person on You Tube, member name is Legal Eagle (real first name is Devin) who is a real life lawyer, and has been doing videos discussing the accuracies (or mistakes) TV shows or movies make when featuring real legal matters.

He already has many videos up, but this video is a good starting point, where he discusses the infamous series finale to Seinfeld.

[up][up] Honestly, him using the word "conspire" to describe what people on Reddit have been doing really rubs me the wrong way.

Nobody's conspired to do anything. People saw stock they thought would be worth buying and publicly shared the information, so other people looked at it, came to the same conclusion and also started buying.

The problem is it wasn’t actually ’worth’ buying by anyone on either side. The company wasn’t set to make money for another 3 years.

The people shorting it expected to make money by selling stock they didn't have, buying it at a lower price later, and giving it back to who they borrowed it from.

The people on Reddit buying, well, originally it had an element of "there's too many shorts out there right now so if people who own it just refuse to sell it, they can drive up the price for desperate shorters" but now it's become a lot more "never sell, let the hedge funds burn".

If I had a nickel for every film where Emma Stone falls off a balcony... I'd only have two nickels, but weird that there's two of them.

LE discusses the huge Billion dollar defamation suits coming out recently. The suit itself also starts really sassy for an official law suit.

There's not a lot that's funny about Matt Gaetz's whole implosion, but I like that like, immediately before it got rolling, he apparently made a joke on Twitter about "if I had a scandal about me, I'd want it to be called Gaetzgate"

Is it incitement to kidnapping and assault if someone were to suggest someone strap Tucker Carlson to a board and put a light cotton mask over his face?

I think Tucker Carlson is a robot programmed to get mad and yell at random things.
