    Poor grandma, receiving a visit from the Yakuza for Xmas…

    Shame on Nintendo. As per usual.

    While Im glad he’s avoided them so far, gloating about misusing bankruptcy is a great way to get denied for it.

      I mean, is it misusing? When one of the largest companies in the world decides they want every penny you have, that’s pretty much the only course of action you can take. Or suicide, I guess.

    with that many documented attempts, a judge will likely sign-off on whatever alternative means of service that jurisdiction has… like usps or legal notice in newspapers (yes, they’re still used for some things).

      Especially with him openly bragging about avoiding the court… He clearly knows about the suit; physically handing him the paperwork is an unnecessary formality at this point.

        Genuine question: If he didn’t know about the suit and was actually a hermit with no communication with family, could someone actually hide their way out of something like this?

          could someone actually hide their way out of something like this?

          If you mean the resulting failure to attend/contempt of court charges:

          It would very much depend on the totality of the circumstances. If the defendant is genuinely unaware of the case against them, they aren’t really hiding from anything. The court has simply been unable to locate their suspect.

          When/if the defendant is eventually located; it would be up to the court to determine if they had been sufficiently notified, and they’d have opportunity defend themselves by explaining where they’ve been and why the court hadn’t been able to notify them.

          If you mean hide your way out of whatever the original charge that had you summoned to court was, then no; you’re just delaying the inevitable and potentially risking further charges. or you’re just permanently fleeing to a country that doesn’t extradite to where ever you’re from…

          Depends on the country… in the UK for example you can serve on a last known address, and this is presumed served unless later rebutted in court… it is for the court to decide if the rebuttal is sufficiently demonstrated or not.

      If only there was a place where it’s written down what he did? Commenters have yet to discover this mystical record.
