FOCUS . . . . . .

Noble effort, Gogar. Very surprising lack of focus for a car forum. Well, at least we know you're a red-blooded male with a pulse.

She wants to know if you want to start something...

I'm gonna call "sour grapes" on this one. Guy is a partying multi-millionaire and marketing genius who is perpetually surrounded by young babes. More power to him.

Don't get me wrong, I don't fault the guy for making the vids--I find nothing wrong with watching hot girls participating in questionable behavior---it was his business practices that I have a problem with, and apparently alot of other folks did too--hence the class-action.

And if you think the vids are all "soft-core" porn of girls getting naked, flashing, or pillow-fighting, then you haven't seen the videos. There is a vid of Lave Havasau(sp?) that could be deemed hard-core porn-- one segment consist of a girl on a boat getting nailed by 1 guy, while performing oral on another, and being "prodded" by 2 others.

He is a first-class douche.

More pictures and video, less talking.

Compensatory damages are not taxable. That is, if damages/losses can be proven, there is no gain and hence no tax. It's punitive damages that are taxable.

However, the award amount to the client is not the taxed figure. Once the award amount is determined, the check can be a) cut to the attorney, who then deducts fees, etc. and the balance is then given to the client (and the balance is the taxable figure) or b) the defendant writes two checks, one to the atty and the other to the plantiff. No need for two suits, it's all about how the checks are written.

Remember, it is the receipt of money that is a taxable event, not the promise of money. Think appeals, defendants not paying, etc.
