Quoted from Rarehero:Ninja what? EGLH9E? They’ve failed the first test…legible font.
I completely agree. But the illegible title is even stupider when you finally realize it’s called “ninja eclipse”
What the fuck does that mean?!

Quoted from Mr68:I don't know what it means but I found this doing a Google Search. [quoted image]
As someone who played yugioh in regional tournaments as a youngin. I'm pretty sure that's just some random custom card someone made...
Watched the video. I feel absolutely no excitement towards the Ninja Eclipse pinball.
Quoted from TreyBo69:Thanks. I don’t know what game that was supposed to be attached to. Perhaps Alice in Wonderland? It’s such a funky layout with some interesting stuff going on
It’s clearly JPop’s because he’s super into making inserts slightly off center/symmetry (see shooter lane)
Edit yeah. Pretty sure this was Alice. A lot of similarities to the paper craft Zidware version

That would have been a just gorgeous machine. Of course at going rates these days priced at $30k likely
Quoted from littlecammi:Ninja Eclipse? Not interested in the slightest.
If not illegal insider trading, Turner used insider information from his relationship with deeproot (and his proximty from having an office inside the deeproot building) when making his stalking horse bids. This allowed him to gain while all deeproot 575 fund investors lost their life savings. I hope he fails miserably. And I don't believe for one second what he said about deeproot IP being lost in the cloud.
"Lost" password technically IMO.

Ninja Eclitse, very modern. 
I was going to say they have an uphill battle trying to build on the ruins of deeproot, but this video says "don't worry, we can make this bad on our own".
Quoted from mbwalker:Turner Pinball dropped a new video. Maybe we should start a thread for TP, if someone hasn't done so already.
There's always already a thread!
Quoted from benheck:That just screams "whip up something in After Effects so it looks like we have a game"

I think it's Ninja Egglips!

Quoted from Roostking:"Lost" password technically IMO.
He lost access to his own server, and all his guns disappeared during a boating accident.
I'm sure one of us can update in awhile. I did not see his booth when I was setting up yesterday although he has an ad in the program and I am betting the generic key ring in the exhibitor bags came from him.

Quoted from Richthofen:Do you guys remember that? JPOPs “only” sin was ambition and poor business sense, not that he committed fraud and promised games (and collected money) well after he knew he couldn’t execute.
Jpop was a fraud and a cheat. Were his original intentions legit. Sure. But he spiraled into unethical if not outright criminal behavior. He was more than willing to take $10k from me (I demurred) for AIW long after (in retrospect) he knew it wasn’t happening. Screw Jpop.
Quoted from OpSteel:A few pictures of the playfield. Yeah, it has a long way to a viable game.

Looks like Turner also inherited the same horrible fish scale clearcoating process
bad-clearcoat (resized).pngIt’s a prototype game that was put together in like the last week. I wouldn’t take this for a realized product playfield.
Quoted from toyotaboy:Looks like Turner also

Yes, it is just a decal so it wasn't a plain whitewood for the show. Not even final art, lots to go/do. From the Turner Pinball thread:
Quoted from ReadyPO:He also stressed the art was no where near the finished product, just something to put on the Whitewood for the show (not a clear coat final playfield, just a decal).
Quoted from Beechwood:There's a Turner pinball thread? That's a thing?

May have been mentioned before but even in fraud Robert apparently wasn’t that unique.
I learned a new term today: viatical
Robert's lawyers filed a response to a motion in the SEC case today. Downloaded the docs and only skimmed. Don't know there is too much interesting EXCEPT that his response indicates the SEC trial is set for October of this year.

Robert's lawyers filed a motion trying to get adversary case against him by the trustee stayed due to overlap with the SEC case.
I've only thus far downloaded the main document (there are a lot of exhibits, probably many of them copies of other legal documents we've seen), but it contains an interesting wrinkle I had not seen in prior filings
It appears Robert has identified a new go-to (he hopes) get out of jail free defense for why he did nothing wrong and shouldn't get in trouble.
It's subtle, but I bet some of the legal eagle eyed readers here just may be able to spot it.

It’s upsetting how he isn’t in jail for ruining so many families finances for his poorly thought out pipe dream.

His defense is "It's not a crime, because my attorneys at the time told me it wasn't?"
He makes mention of his salary, but what about the condo in Hawaii, Bobby? The jewelry and weddings and private school tuition?
Even if, somehow, he found the dumbest judge who let that fly, guess what? He committed tax fraud by buying assets for himself using customer money. If he was paid a salary, taxes would be withheld. Were income taxes withheld on the condo in Hawaii? That's what the CEO of Trump corporation was busted for. If you pay yourself in transfers that aren't income, you are defrauding taxpayers.
Weisselberg told jurors he betrayed the Trump family's trust by conspiring with a subordinate to hide more than a decade's worth of extras from his income, including a free Manhattan apartment, luxury cars and his grandchildren's private school tuition. He said they fudged payroll records and issued falsified W-2 forms.
Quoted from Mr68:A judge's interpretation

[quoted image]
Though the dog ate the homework, he should be given a pass. Eating homework is "reasonable and customary" for dogs, and appears to have been a risk "adequately disclosed by" the dog by virtue of being, you know-- a dog. To blame the dog would require "proof of intent" to hinder classroom performance.
At one point wasn't Robert's defense basically they didn't keep books, except for the books they sorta half kept and blamed someone else for poorly managing.
Quoted from Richthofen:His defense is "It's not a crime, because my attorneys at the time told me it wasn't?"
Quoted from Richthofen:The jewelry and weddings and private school tuition?
"there's always money in the banana flippers"
"yea well all that crap got sold in auction for pennies on the dollar"
"there was over $250k hidden at the bottom of those flipper boxes.. why do you think i kept saying there's always money in the banana flippers?!"
Quoted from TreyBo69:At one point wasn't Robert's defense basically they didn't keep books, except for the books they sorta half kept and blamed someone else for poorly managing.
Except, not keeping books is actually "de facto" if not "de jure" fraud. It's not like this guy was running a laundromat. He was managing $60 million dollars in assets.
We can all agree Robert was a stupid criminal
Hell, even before shit went down we started sniffing some of it out due to his insistence of naming all his companies "deeproot". That's how we were finding liens on the building for stiffing vendors, the random carwash, etc...
It's been interesting watching the evolution of his defenses in the filings. Previously, he vehemently denied all charges, saying everything he did was above board. The most recent one suggests that if anything bad did happen, it's only because his lawyers goofed.

Skimmed thru it. It's the same old bullshit story as always.
It really is amazing how similar these ALWAYS are. They are just different in window dressing, size of the scam, and who's getting ripped off.
Somewhere, there's someone typing "Yeah he stole billions of dollars from private companies and taxpayers...but he clearly INTENDED to create a solar energy revolution! It wasn't a ponzi!"

One of my favorite lines from the article, "",,,I was so willing to go along with stuff I should have walked away from,” he told me this past September, by phone from federal prison."
Especially the prison part.

Ask yourself why you visited the thread and posted and you will have your answer.

Because the case is ongoing. Next court action is Monday.
