Good afternoon,
The lawsuit filed against me and John has now been dismissed. This was always a completely fabricated lawsuit claiming that we had misappropriated money from Intrepid, harmed the company, or somehow caused the collapse that Rob Dawson and his board created. Those allegations were false when they filed them, false when they pushed them into the public narrative, and false when used as a distraction to cover for the board’s conduct. Now the case they used to fuel that narrative has been dismissed.
This complete farce of a lawsuit was part of a broader scheme to control the narrative by muddying the waters and distracting from the highly unlawful actions now laid out in our federal lawsuit against Rob Dawson and his cronies. While employees were thrown into chaos, vendors and creditors were left out in the cold, and the Ashes of Creation community was left searching for answers, the board and its allies pushed a story designed to make us the villains so people wouldn’t focus on the truth of this catastrophe and what the board had actually done. Their strategy was never built to withstand scrutiny, how could it be? The facts tell a different story. Facts they knew they could not contain for long.
The evidence we have put before the federal court shows the conduct they so desperately want hidden. It shows a board that seized control through threats and coercion, manufactured “secured” debt that had already been converted into equity, used that manufactured debt structure to feign insolvency and steal Intrepid’s assets, falsified public records, failed to notify a senior secured lender and banking institution, tried to transfer Ashes of Creation into a Dawson-controlled entity, and then left hundreds of hard working families to suffer the consequences in a gross violation of labor laws. That is the outrageous conduct they did not want the public focused on. That is why they needed a distraction.
As shown in witness testimony and the public filings, their plan was not subtle. They orchestrated a scheme to take Intrepid’s assets and then conspired to have Jason Caramanis push distorted narratives through his online mouthpiece so that the public conversation would revolve around the ridiculous accusations against me and John instead of their unlawful foreclosure, their despicable treatment of employees and their families, and their attempt to walk away from the catastrophic damage they caused. They wanted confusion. They wanted outrage pointed in the wrong direction. They wanted the community fighting over false claims while they attempted to salvage control of the asset they tried to seize. This is a common playbook for them.
What they did to the Intrepid team was inhuman. What they did to the community was cruel. What they did to our reputation was deliberate. They took a project that millions of people were waiting for, a team that had spent years building it, and a company with real value and momentum, and they treated all of it as collateral in a private insider power play to line their pockets and leave everyone else holding the bag. Then they tried to blame the wreckage on the very people who had worked tirelessly for a decade trying to deliver the game they promised.
I will never allow that to stand.
Their lawsuit is now dismissed. My federal lawsuit against them remains active. I will not rest until the harm done to the team, Intrepid’s stakeholders, the Ashes of Creation community, and the millions of fans who believed in this project is answered for. They tried to bury the truth under lawsuits, threats, public smears, shell entities, and manufactured confusion. They failed. The truth is moving into court, into the record, and into the light.
There will be maximum accountability.
