Happy Easter and High Holiday!

Happy Easter and High Holiday, everyone.

In a twist so poetic it might qualify as divine comedy, just after yesterday’s final LinkedIn post was uploaded to the F’nAround website, Google officially recognized us as a legitimate news and media source.

That means the poetry, the articles, the investigations, the Watchdog pieces, all of it is now being crawled for Google News.

So, here’s the new structure:

LinkedIn still gets the start of the poetry, courtesy of your favorite unfiltered bard, but the full pieces, longform breakdowns, and legally protected haymakers now live at fnaround.com.

When we discuss people or companies (with love, of course), they’ll be tagged here, with full context and receipts waiting over there.

Think of it as if The New Yorker and The Onion had a baby… during a very messy divorce.

Now, for the good part.

This weekend, I finally received the counterclaim lawsuit filed against me from my lawyer.

As I said:

Read the rest at FnAround.com.

Welcome back.

Reader, I had to double-check that it wasn’t a rejected Billions script.

It’s dramatic.

It’s laughable.

It reads like someone tried to sue the truth itself.

Naturally, I did what any responsible journalist and litigant would do:

I read every word, and I checked the law.

Turns out, I can legally respond… line by line to any public legal claim filed against me.

And I will.

Under the First Amendment, Fair Reporting Privilege, anti-SLAPP statutes, and defamation law, I am fully protected in publishing documents, statements, evidence, and filings in my defense.

Translation:

If you sue me in public, I get to respond in public.

And that, friends, is what we call the full weight of Mjölnir.

That’s every text, email, contract, internal doc, and federal filing I’ve archived, now being forged into the first official Watchdog report story on F’nAround to respond to a lawsuit.

Freedom of the press meets Federal Exhibits.

But wait… it gets better.

They’re now claiming I’m “extorting” them.

Yes, really.

According to their own court filing, they allege that my posts about misconduct, regulatory filings, wire transfers, and publicly posted reviews by others were made to “improve my position in the lawsuit” and to “extort money from them.”

Let’s break that down.

They say it’s extortion when I…

• filed formal complaints to state and federal regulators and posted about it

• submitted a hush money documentation attempt under penalty of perjury

• published truthful or opinion-based reporting on my own platform

• and publicly discussed events I personally witnessed and participated in

That’s not extortion.

That’s called journalism.

That’s called telling the truth.

That’s called using my story to hold power accountable, and building a media platform while doing it.

That’s called responding to a lawsuit with evidence.

And yes, I get to publish every piece of that evidence, because it’s either:

• Factual

• Opinion based on disclosed information

• Or part of active legal and regulatory proceedings

Then came their biggest legal mistake yet:

They claimed my statements were made “without any applicable privilege.”

That’s legal jargon for:

“He had no right to say any of this.”

Which isn’t just wrong… it’s dangerous.

Because I am a journalist.

I am a litigant.

I am filing federally under penalty of perjury.

And every statement I’ve made has been Factual, Opinion based on disclosed evidence or direct experience, or Filed through official legal and regulatory channels

And yes, everything I’ve published is retroactively protected under media and journalistic privilege, because the work has consistently been part of a public-facing media platform, whether in art, commentary, or reporting.

This isn’t just an attack on me.

It’s an attack on protected speech and the press.

Which is exactly why my co-hosts are stepping in.

After reading that line, they looked at the lawsuit, looked at me, and said:

“So… they’re suing you for speaking on our podcast?”

“Yep.”

“Cool. Let’s all sue back.”

The F’nAround team is now officially entering the ring for:

• Tortious interference

• Retaliation

• Suppression of press rights

• And emotional damage from reading that lawsuit sober, without Malört to wash the bad taste out of their mouths and it didn’t take a single direct deposit…

What was meant to be a silencing attempt just became a slow-motion self-burn.

And if you thought this show was unfiltered before?

Wait until subpoena season hits.

Did you think we forgot about the Constructive Knowledge PSA?

They tried to cancel our rights.

They just triggered more federal violations.

Hold our beer.

We’re just getting warmed up.

All assholes, no excuses.

Come find out.
