Flo is fake counting. Those lost subscribers were all old and had a pre-existing condition of wanting to cancel, and so they shouldn’t count at all. Also, the people counting (i.e., Flo) can get paid more for each WILLIE count and less for each CORONAVIRUS count. People are cancelling due to motorcycle accidents, and they still get counted as WILLIE cancellations.
If you die of coronavirus can your Willie still be counted toward FLO damages?
The new climber I bought last week came with a harness. Now I have two. Buy me a beer and subscribe to NLWC Rokfin, instead.
I left because of the lawsuit. I wasn’t really a fan of flo when Martin, Joe Flo, Velliquette weren’t around anymore. They used to put some good, funny content. Was never a fan of CP, Bratke, Askren, etc.
Flo just wanted to put Willie on lockdown before the next wave of subscriptions. "For his own good."Flo is fake counting.

I think that's a smart take on damages, i.e., the only reliably cognizable damages occurred in the immediate aftermath after Willie left and dissipated shortly thereafter. And by drawing out the concrete details of just the immediate aftermath, the defense, by implication, rendered in relief the evidence of damages everywhere else as wholly speculative. @El-Jefe above joked about the $1 awarded to the USFL in its suit against the NFL, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the judge do something along those lines: I'm recognizing the validity of your non-compete, but I'm also telling you precisely how much it's worth.
Agreed with your the competition analysis. I don't think it's lost on the court that Flo is asking it to adopt a rigid interpretation of its non-compete and an amorphous definition of competition to enforce it.
They showed texts between Cael and Willie where Cael was asking about the Rofkin model and the two agreed to discuss Rokfin and the NLWC over the phone. Willie clearly had a role.
Agree. I used to think Willie was pretty good and an important spoke in the wheel at FLO. Now after the trial, they've made me believe Willie was the hub in the wheel at FLO. FLO makes me wonder if they lack confidence in the remainder of their troops being able to defeat a lone Willie Saylor on a level playing field.
Left unsaid: Flo and the courts had access to Willie's texts with Cael, and could not find evidence of recruiting collaboration.
My guess is that it is the investors who pushed for the lawsuit from the beginning. I admittedly did not really keep up with the actual trial, but I guess it would surprise me if flo starts looking for heads after all of this. At least in the case of Pyles, I’m not sure they can afford to lose another of their “talent“ at this point.
By "investors" he probably meant the venture capital investors. Who very likely did push for this.
Pretty good post for a novice.
Flo has made the worst of errors by believing the courts are there to protect them from their competition. Nothing can be further from the truth. The courts are simply there to ensure a level playing field. They do not pick winners and losers.
