This thread would have exploded by now if the headline had the word lawsuit in it. Thread title is rather mundane and not at all indicative of the seriousness of the matter.

Quoted from Jam_Burglar:Pinside is full of baseless speculation but I'd be especially hesitant to jump to any conclusions in a case like this, where speculation can cause a lot of damage to a business
I agree, but the mere fact that a lawsuit has been filed seeking damages of $1.6 million will cause enough damage on its own.
I don't know how anybody could consider pre-ordering a JJP pin with this pending lawsuit.
Not good.
Quoted from Jam_Burglar:Anybody can file a lawsuit in this counrty against anybody for anything. I could file a suit against you today for $10,000 for stealing money from orphans and then say that anybody dealing with you would be taking a huge risk.
The fact that a lawsuit was filed isn't indicitive of a successful suit.
Furthermore, without having more infomation about Jack's personal finances and JJP's finances it would be imprudent for me to speculate about the effect of the suit. Moreover, there is a potential that additional factors could affect the analysis (indemnity agreements, insurance coverage, etc.)
I agree that its not good to be sued, but I don't think its responsible to speculate about this in the same way that people speculate about whether Stern's next game is going to suck or not.
I think much of this is hyperbole on your part to be honest. Seriously, you use an example of filing a lawsuit against me for stealing $10k from orphans? 
It's not like this lawsuit was filed by some Joe Blow disgruntled customer with an axe to grind. It was filed by Jack's former employer. I think there's just a wee bit of difference, don't you?
Again...forget about "speculating" on whether the lawsuit will be successful or not. We don't know. Again, the point is that most people are generally going to be very wary of putting money down on a JJP pre-order at this point with this pending lawsuit.
Quoted from RealityCheck:Oh oh ... someone else dared to say something negative about JJP!? 29 thumbs down, not bad. How funny that 90-95% of the thumbs downers are the exact same folks who thumbs downed my negative opinion of Smaug.
Hey, pmWolf, surely you banned him from this thread despite breaking zero forum rules, simply because he caused a ruccus and upset the JJP devoted, right?? I trust your biased censorship was all over this.
Looks like you, CraZ4pin, are trying to get your new account banned as well by publicly calling out the mods (which is against forum rules). Good luck with that.

Quoted from mountaingamer:Misery loves company - he was just howling to his buddies
See - there all right there - downvoting you just asking a question

It was a stupid thing to ask.
Why did he "bump" the thread? It was his first post in the thread and a perfectly valid comment. Do you disagree with what he posted?
Or are you just one of those JJP fanboys that never wants to see anything remotely negative posted, so the revival of this thread really pisses you off? A thread that was started by JJP by the way.

Quoted from fosaisu:Here's the complaint -- I hadn't seen this until today when RobT posted it over in the big JPop thread:
http://issuu.com/jackgtruth/docs/jjp_lawsuit
Just to clarify, I was not the one who uploaded the Complaint to that site.
Quoted from pinmanguy:There's quite a few phrases and words in there that I wouldn't have expected to see. Even if there's some truth to their claims (not saying there is) it reads like it's been embellished for a reaction from the public.
Or a jury.
Quoted from lost8ball:I would think if you have proof that the CFO did those things you'd just call the police and not your attorney.
That type of thinking didn't work out too well for the Predator buyers/victims.
Quoted from Skins:For sure. I blew through $25k defending myself (successfully) from a bullshit claim. What did I get to show for proving I was right, a $25k lawyer bill.
One difference in this case is that the contract at issue contains a provision where the losing party is liable for attorney fees. That alone raises the stakes in this case, especially since there are many billable hours involved with the accounting that will need to take place by expert witnesses.
Quoted from PW79:They say there's 2 sides to every story & the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Or something like that
"The middle truth!"
