A bunch of large indies each entrusted tens of thousands of dollars to some guy to make animation projects for them. After getting fed up and believing they have been well and truly scammed, they all came out to accuse him for such publicly, lead by Bao I believe. He then proceeds to leak a bunch of their communications in a 35-page Google Doc response.

They paid him, so he needed to provide a service, and offer full refunds if the service wasn't completed and he failed to do that on multiple occasions so they're not entirely wrong.
The actual financials will take some tardwrangling from lawyers and auditors.

She is flaky and inconsistent with her projects and deadlines but the fact that he pretended to be an animator, broke NDA, constantly claimed to be working on projects he wasn't actually working on, offered refunds to people but never provided them, and then went on to try to use mental illness as an excuse as to why he took several thousand dollars from a ton of people while not providing the services he claimed he would.

Either way, this guy is done for, legally and publicly. He had a decent shot at being successful with all that cash, but he squandered it by taking too many projects all at once.

Normally I'd be inclined to agree with you but the full logs don't really add much. He dealt with flakey women but regardless of how flakey they are, he still took their money and pretended like he was doing something with it.
He might have had a chance at finding a new studio with all the money that he took but if he didn't have a studio he should have mentioned that to them. It seems like everybody was under the belief this guy already had a studio and was working on the projects with people, not actively seeking out people to work on the projects for him. The full chat log does not make him look any better either, in fact it makes him look very unreliable because he's leaking DMs of people who trusted him not to do so. If you were a client of his, and you told him that this was a project that had to be kept under NDA, he would have broken it yet again .

That's kind of it exactly, I've literally worked with a ton of different artists so a ton of different projects at this point in time for a variety of different reasons. And I have had the pleasure of being close enough to some of these artists to where I'm occasionally shown DMs of clients who are demanding and constantly trying to change shit. Artist basically says "either we do it like this or we're through with this project and I'll refund you"
But never once did he say that. They change deadlines on him and demand different stuff but he just goes

I don't think you understood what I meant. Falsely claiming to be able to do something, and soliciting money under that claim, could very well be sue-worthy.

What it looks to me is that the guy and the studio he was connected were incompetent and created discontent with their clients. An internal dispute occurred within the company which resulting to him getting fired. Before leaving, he refunded his clients (some of which he pulled out of his own pocket). As for the issue with Bao, the amount is too big, and since Bao preempted by hiring a lawyer, the guy also hired a lawyer handle this. Then Bao accused him publicly as a scammer. Its seems Bao is at fault too, being an entitled bitch who misses and cancel meeting and expected results to land on her lap. And the way she handled this prematurely, lawyering up and exposing it early. He could've sued them for libel but he leaked the DM making the whole idea impossible.

Much shorter version
1.) James is connected to a incompetent studio
2.) They fired James
3.) James refunded their clients before completely leaving the company
4.) Due to the large volume of money transaction, not all of the refunds came through on time.
5.) Bao's project had already progress, so they can't really refund everything that is already spent on assets/work
6.) Bao lawyered up thinking the guy is a scam
7.) James countered with a lawyer. They communicate through lawyers.
8.) Bao exposes him without solving the issue
9.) Instead of suing Bao with libel he leaked the DMs.

There's also shit about self-pity, mental health, and what not but that's not important.

James fucked up but all of these indie girls are some of the biggest retards on the planet, Bao let 3 and a half months go by without properly communicating with the guy and then completely changed the project.
This shit should honestly blacklist all of these talents from any collaborations.
Imagine telling a guy you can't do a voice call with a director after you just changed the whole project because you're tired from being a fucking streamer

Clients are retards, you're taught this in university (too bad he's a marketing fag, huh). It's your due diligence to inform the client about at which points them changing their minds would result in scrapping work and most importantly making sure that your client actually has a solid grasp of what they want to hire you for rather than taking thousands of dollars upfront and then coming up with a team to work on it before even ensuring that you know what the client wants. Coaxing a client into making a huge initial investment when they clearly weren't ready or were even sure that they wanted to do it, double spending them and then being completely unable to reach them for months is your fault. You took their money which you're actively burning by having an entire team on standby, you should have cut your losses and refunded her the money, effectively scrapping the project. That's the difference between actually doing due diligence and identifying what your business risks are and how you should proceed if they happen versus winging it.

Yah I don't think he's a scammer since he has returned most (if not all) of the money, just extremely incompetent. As for the initial capital some companies do require it when you register it, but it really doesn't make sense to get outside investors when you have literally no staff besides a tax guy and a lawyer since you're just commissioning people. If you needed payroll for these people then you could have just taken a loan through a bank or scalped it out of some of the initial requests. But his pay structure is so shit that there's no real way of doing that.
>>50467888
You do that for all of your clients because you're legally liable to deliver or you're scamming them. He can still milk them, there's just better ways of doing it.

A lot of this stems from him "hiring" artists by actually commissioning them, which is fine and well for say "I want a drawing" rather than "I need you to work on a project involving multiple people with a deadline." It's basically larping that they're your employees while in reality they're just independent contractors that were already paid 50% upfront for work that isn't something that they can do alone. He's not an animator and he's not an actual project manager so how did he actually expect that putting together a bunch of people that work alone would produce a well put together work? Who gets to say that they should do X instead of Y as the final call? It's literally begging for infighting. Say one guy is late on his delivery, now what? You work for someone else too, it's your ass on the line, meanwhile the artists has no obligation because "lol, I do commissions and I was already paid, kek." There's literally no way to enforce work ethic because you can't be fired.

I get that you are a midwit, but I will explain what James was attempting to do.

Bao pays $15,000 deposit.
This deposit is used to give an initial payment to animators, but it's also used to give an initial payment to other projects.
Every girls deposit was paying forward to another person's animation cost.

When girls kept on delaying the projects, like Bao, with animation costs going over the deposit amount because she asked for the project to be scrapped and redone, this caused issues down the line with paying every animator on every project.
This got worse when refunds were asked, and there is barely enough money left to do so, causing every girl's project to suffer.

Now, this is a problem with a rob peter to pay paul type of payment program, which you only do when you are desperate and have 0 outside investors to prop up the company.

TL;DR

He could've charged them for consultation fees. They are practically wasting his time. Though I really have doubts with the whole operation of his. Most of his animators are outsourced, his interaction with Bao implies that nothing is being done while Bao was in hiatus when Bao mentioned that she wanted to be less involved in the production. He was basically stringing Bao along and practically begged for Bao for input before doing anything. He wasn't transparent on the flow and progression of the project. His payout and refunds are slow (does he live in the 20th century?) his studio lacks the port to show what they can do except for 1 lousy animation.

You know why he can't? Because he already paid the artists huge sums of money to do commission work upfront so he has to wait for 50 people to refund him for the money that he would need to refund his actual clients. Which isn't going to happen because that's literally not how commission deposits work, artists ask for money upfront precisely so that if the client quits they still get paid something for their outstanding work.
Also there was no way that they were going to get all of it back unless literally nothing had been done/payed yet, on a normal project people would have been paid for their work and there would be no way to give that money back.

Are you saying Bao did not give him money now?
Are you saying all the girls are pretending they gave him money?

Stop being a simp for one fucking minute and realize that these girls just gave a random company money "because trust" and then couldn't even do the bare minimum of communication with the directors of their animations.
James was not the faggot to talk to, the director who kept asking to talk to them that they didn't make time for, that was who needed the time.

Bao and Saruei are both on record for either not talking to the director during major pivots with the direction of the animation, or just straight yelling at the director.

The number one issue with James that shows he's incompetent is that he did business with these women after they kept doing this shit.

He says he did but this shit involves other companies too. He's probably talking about the video projects because those would have actually required some sort of studio, which means wages. As for the stuff that was assets he probably did pay deposits to artists since that's easier to commission, but still not ideal or great.
Obviously all of the money couldn't have been for artist deposits since they're all ridiculous amounts, but neither does he have any actual expenses if people were just being commissioned. There's no real way to tell because it's not like he'll post communications with artists or any financial data that might actually incriminate him.
Maybe he paid deposits and then hired them but failed to pay their wages? That's probably more likely since he could easily run out of money if he plans shit improperly and asks huge lump sums upfront. Someone also said that he paid someone with money from the 50% deposits so the money was also being misused.

Basically he commissioned them which means that he had to pay a deposit of usually 50% upfront for their work, but still has to pay the other 50% on completion. Since he asked for money to pay the deposits but didn't take into consideration that he can't ask his clients for the other 50% until the entire project is completed he either paid some people out of the deposits for the full work (which means he took extra money besides the commission deposits and spent it without having a way to have cash on hand), told people he couldn't pay them for their full work because not everyone had delivered (which is fucking retarded) and shit like that. Now imagine this shit for like 3 months because you're too retarded to actually make sure that your client can deliver some song lyrics before taking 15K from them. Couple that with the fact that the biggest project (Bao's) got scrapped due to his fuck-up and suddenly everyone wants refunds. It basically meant that the only way for the artists that had finished their work to get paid was to contact the vtubers and that the vtubers would obviously not give the guy any more money because they want whatever is left of their deposits back. There's virtually no way of getting the money back because the artists are in the right, it's his fault for commissioning them and forcing all of his clients to demand refunds due to his actions.

I don't blame the girls as much but it is somewhat their fault for not realizing the implications of hiring a guy that's just commissioning people to do the work. It essentially meant that if they wanted a refund there was no way that he would be able to produce all/most of the money that he demanded upfront (in some cases 50% of the cost) because he himself agreed that he couldn't ask for a refund from the artists when he commissioned them.
They're definitely retarded from trusting a dude that basically tried to pass himself as still working for a company that was reputable but it could have happened to anyone really. I think the biggest giveaway was the 50% as a deposit but if he literally didn't tell them that he was commissioning people it's pretty easy to overlook that if you have no idea of how project management works and you think that it's a legitimate expense/working funds for the project that "his" team would work on.
