Lawsuit: Pending Steveshat v. HenryDz5 [2024] FCR 65

[Unseatedduke1]

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION​

steveshat (Represented by Dragon Law)
Plaintiff

v.

HenryDz5 (Shareholder of Keystone Holdings)
Defendant

COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:

steveshat is a man who was having a good time, and tried his luck at several casino games within Keystone Holdings. He deposited over $900k, and when making his last bet before running out of gambling money, he won big: winner winner chicken dinner. To be exact, he won over 1.8 million dollars, doubling what he invested. The casino didn't like this, however, and flat-out refused to award this payout when the plaintiff requested a withdrawal. The reason? Betting limits that should have been there but weren't as a result of the defendant's negligence. The defendant offered the plaintiff a disgusting $265k, a total insult considering this results in a huge net loss. It is time to teach businesses accountability. It is time to get justice for a wronged victim of contract breach.


I. PARTIES
1. steveshat (Plaintiff)
2. Keystone Holdings (Tortfeasor)
3. HenryDz5 (Shareholder of Keystone Holdings)

II. FACTS
1. On February 15th, 2024, steveshat deposited $969,009 into his Keystone Holdings gambling balance that could then be used to gamble, and could be withdrawn for cash at any time (Exhibit A).

2. On the same day, this money was gambled extensively with onlookers commenting on the gambling. To their shock, steveshat won $1,800,000.00 in a game of roulette (Exhibit B).

3. Keystone Holdings refused to pay out the winnings, offering to resolve the matter for a mere $265,000 under the reasoning that there was a max bet of $5,000 in place (Exhibits C and D).

4. Keystone Holdings had no posted policy of a max bet posted as of the 15th of February, 2024. Their gambling bot also did not have the feature of max betting properly configured, leading it to accept a higher bet (Exhibit E).

5. The plaintiff offered for the defendant to pay the 1.8 million dollars (and less in some offers) out overtime in a payment plan to protect their interests, but the defendant denied this request multiple times.

6. Keystone Holdings subsequently dissolved to avoid liability and distributed assets to its former shareholders (Exhibit F).

III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
1. The casino receives actual monetary bets in return for the expectation of that money returned on a win. This constitutes a contract under the Foundation of Contract Law as it satisfies all the necessary elements, while maybe not as explicitly as other contracts.
Whether or not this legally stands, that expectation still exists and is represented by the casino's posting of odds on specific games. Representing those odds is also backing the outcome of the bet, whether a win or loss. To misrepresent these facts constitutes gambling fraud under the Commercial Standards Act. These odds were misrepresented when the casino refused to compensate the plaintiff his winnings, and thus is grounds for damages under the Legal Damages Act.

2. The two factors described in fact four combine sum up to negligence on Keystone Holdings and no reasonable assumption of any risk by the plaintiff. The plaintiff is therefore entitled to his full earnings, and the excuse of a max bet holds no legal water.

3. Keystone Holdings dissolved, leaving liability for its actions to its shareholders. The plaintiff will be using discovery to find out how much liability is attributed to each shareholder and how much money should be clawed back from each. For now, the prayer for relief comprises a total amount of money owed collectively by all of the shareholders.

IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:
1. $1,800,000 in compensatory damages - the duty to mitigate was satisfied as described in fact five of this filing.

2. $50,000 in punitive damages for grossly and outrageously denying the plaintiff his winnings and having the audacity to strongarm and lowball him to a tremendous degree.

3. 5% of $1,800,000 is $90,000 and this would be the monthly interest steveshat would earn if he stored his winnings in banks that offer 5% interest such as Atreides, S-Capital, etc... Therefore, each day of not having this money loses the plaintiff $3,000 in opportunity costs. The plaintiff therefore requests $3,000 each day starting from the 16th of February 2024 until the 1.8 million dollars is finally paid to the plaintiff. At the time of this posting, that total is 51 days = $153,000.

4. $50,000 in loss of enjoyment in Redmont as $1,800,000 can buy a lot of things, things that the plaintiff cannot enjoy for as long as he is denied his winnings.

5. $50,000 in punitive damages for attempting to launder this money by dissolving and distributing it to shareholders / other parties.

6. $585,000 + 30% of the award of prayer for relief 3 in legal fees, awarded to Dragon Law Firm (a recent amendment to the Legal Damages Act increases legal fees to 30%).

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO DISMISS

---

The defence moves that the complaint in this case be dismissed, and in support thereof, respectfully alleges:

Within the Commercial Standards Act, it is stated as following;

19 - Additional Rights Granted to Companies
(1) All companies will be considered to be legal entities distinct from their shareholders, board members, or management.
(a) The shareholders of a public company, and the owners of a non-public company will not be liable for any damages incurred by the business decisions of the company they hold shares or ownership in. This provision will not apply to any shareholders or owners who assume management positions in the company.

Therefore, as a distinct legal entity from the one in a business relationship with the plaintiff, the case has no standing. Even if this case can be argued to incurred damages, the defendant had not occupied a management position in the company, and was simply a shareholder.

As such, this qualifies the case under rule 5.5 - Lack of Claim. None of the claims apply to the Defendant as section 19 of the CSA has made this clear. Henrydz5 did not hold any management positions within the company, exonerating them of any liability. The defence recommends that the case be dismissed as a result as the Defendant bears no responsbiblity for the perported damages incurred by the Plaintiff.

DATED: This Second day of May, 2024.

 

[SumoMC]

Plaintiff has 48 hours to respond to the Motion to Dismiss

 

[Unseatedduke1]

Your Honor, this motion to dismiss lacks standing. The attempt here is to utilize a lack of claim to dismiss the case, but there is a very valid and arguable claim at hand. What the defendant engaged in was fraudulent behavior. The law does not shield individuals against fraud, nor does it protect those in management positions. The law clearly states that shareholders of a public company, as well as owners of a non-public company, will not be liable for damages resulting from business decisions of the company they hold shares or ownership in. However, this provision does not extend to shareholders or owners assuming management positions within the company.

The defendant went beyond merely being a shareholder; as a board member, they actively participated in decisions affecting the company, including voting against fully paying out my client, which led to significant damages. If it were legal to make a decision not to pay someone and then dissolve to evade liability, it would set a dangerous precedent. While HenryDz5 may have been a shareholder, their actions, alongside other shareholders and board members, constituted company management. They collectively made a management decision and a business decision for the company, thus they should be held accountable for the resulting damages. Therefore, we respectfully request that you deny this motion to dismiss.

Your Honor, we would like to bring to your attention that this is a case that has been appealed and dismissed previously. According to court policy, this case cannot be dismissed with a simple motion to dismiss.

 

[SumoMC]

Motion to Dismissed is denied, this case has be accepted on appeal and will move forward. @Dr_Eksplosive has 24 hours to file an answer to complaint.

ANSWER TO COMPLAINT

Steveshat
Plaintiff

v.

HenryDz5
Defendant

I. ANSWER TO COMPLAINT
1. We affirm the deposit was placed. We neither affirm or deny the balance could be withdrawn at any time.
2. We affirm the plaintiff's victory. We neither affirm or deny the details stated.
3. We affirm that the full winnings was refused due to the cap.
4. We dispute the configuration of the bot not being proper.
5. We dispute the offers, there is no evidence submitted of such, nor details.
6. We dispute that the company was dissolved in order to avoid liability.

II. DEFENCES
1. While it is true that this may constitute an implicit contract, the contract was a business relationship between the company and the plaintiff. Shareholders are protected from such situations, by the fact that they are a distinct legal entity. There is no reason why the dissolution of the company would remove such a protection.
2. It remains to be proven whether the bot limit malfunctioned or whether it was not in place.


By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.

DATED: This 5th day of May, 2024.
