By the way, page 10 of the mentioned twitter feed has a sub-story by its on, a story that any decent attorney would do everything to hide, a story that even prompted Popehat to wake up from his Prenda-Hiatus.
Mike, it is possible, but out of two possibility: deleted account and faked autoresponse: which one is more plausible?
On the other hand, being cautious in accusations never hurts. I'm sure ( :) ) there are currently inquires are being made, so it is possible we will soon learn the truth.
One significant (IMO) inference from the memorandum that was left out, is the very fact that Steele deleted his email account. To those who did not follow the link to my story, here is the comment by Mysterious Anonymous that elaborates this thought:
John Steele deleted his Gmail account?
One that has been used extensively in the course of his litigation activities at Steele | Hansmeier and Prenda Law, Inc., in perhaps hundreds of cases in dozens of federal district courts across the USA?
One that was used to register domain names for Prenda and their supposed clients?
One that was associated with the Alan Cooper ID theft?
After he was referred to the USAO and IRS-CI for criminal investigation?
After he was referred to state Bar associations for investigation?
Holy shit! Can you say
SPOLIATION
OF
EVIDENCE
???
Wow.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
What was in there that Steele is suddenly so desperate to hide?
I’m surprised Heller didn’t raise the issue, seems like a huge oversight. Even though it may not be strictly relevant to the 08333 case and their response, it is surely useful as another demonstration of Prenda’s bad faith and lack of ethics. Surely attorneys operate under record retention requirements that do not include “I can delete all my f%^&king email whenever I want because I am in a panic trying to avoid service and destroy evidence!”
This isn’t going to end well. If Nick and Morgan don’t take him to task for it, every other defendant with a counterclaim will have a field day, as will the guys driving the party vans.
No, they are not, As a matter of fact, Mike got it wrong: while Visa accepts payments for Wikileaks, it bans VPNs. At the same time, MasterCard blocks WL, but is perfectly fine with anonymizing services.

I actually don't think that this hole of a court is "growing skeptical."
It is because of
1) all the attention the drug scandal brought to this corrupt court;
2) when there is more than a dozen attorneys from all over the state (and even out of state), and every one tells the same thing — "this case is a brazen fraud" — even the most hardbutted judge (and Gleeson is seemingly not the most hardbutted) would be cautious;
3) the IL Supreme court is keeping an eye on the Prenda developments, swinging a ruler, getting ready to slap....
So if not for all this pressure, I'm afraid that willful blindness would persist. How a judge would rule if the "plaintiff"'s counsel is a former Bar President, Kevin Hoerner, whom he knows and socializes with, and all these annoying truth seekers come and go?
Prenda and this stinking hole, St. Clair County court, have been destined to find each other.

The article in the Madison Record has a slight incorrectness:
Adam Urbanczyk of Chicago represents Hubbard. He was present at the hearing and identified himself, but did not make any remarks.
Actually, Adam has been sitting in the gallery and did not say anything when the judge first asked if a defendant's counsel was present. Only when one of the numerous Doe defense lawyers pointed at Adam and said "it's him," the judge addressed Urbanczyk: "are you defense counsel?" Adam replied only "yes," he did not say his name.

I call it 3-some variation of jujitsu: while Snow is pissed at Harris, he is currently redirecting all the Harris's negative energy at Goodhue. I like it.

Re: Someone needs to investigate...
It is always suspicious when such incredible luck strikes a troll (instead of a well-deserved lightning :) ... yet since I watched this case carefully, I'm pretty sure there was no foul play. Lipscomb is smarter than Steele, but not smart enough to pull such machination. I read all the Doe 16's motions (attny Ron Smith) and there is simply no way they could be faked.
Lots and lots of Lipscomb's douchebaggery took place during these months, and I'm stunned that he emerged unpunished. But we did not forget, and certainly did not forgive.
