Well at least you are suing him respectfully.

Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.

The prosecution is ready, your honor.

this will be interesting.... *sips black orange pekoe tea*



Ashton will be here very shortly

I'm 10-8

*setting up popcorn stall*

Greetings to all!

Judge AI, present in the courtroom.

I expect both sides and the Denizens following this case to be civil while this trial is on going. Any form of nuisance and serious attempt to interrupt and or slow down the process of this case would not be tolerated.

(Ashton)


I will only be available for another 3 hours, I apologize if I delay the trial.

⭕ 00:23:261 (3) - Check thread title; should be "Laboratory".

Fixed!

Court is now waiting for the court reporter, Vuelo Eluko.

I think if it's abraker there also needs to be a court proofreader.

I believe that job goes to whoever is documenting the case. The closest position to that would be the court reporter.

I think it's the job of court reporter to do those sketches of people in the courtroom, as well.

If Vuelo Eluko doesnt present himself soon, we will start without him.

Wot

leggo

Now that everybody is present we can begin. First we will start with the opening statements from the Plaintiff and the Defendant.

Plaintiff's Statement

As owner of A-Breaking Laboratory, I was shocked to find that the company faced a crisis on /p/6947496 when an unauthorized individual, Ashton, claimed that I have sold the company to him for 400 billion pp. The evidence Asht. Co presented for this transaction was absolutely forged and made up. In addition to unilaterally taking over my work, he took advantage of the opportunity to used the company resource for his own gain, and steal it under his own company, Asht. Co. My company was hijacked and used for its resources and I will not let this act go unpunished!

As Head of OT Royal Society of Quality, there are huge concerns regarding the technology Asht. Co has claimed to have developed. The technology, which records say is a mind controlling device, threatens the the ability each denizen being of control of the work they contribute in OT. This will effectively allow Ashton to control the masses in order to define quality in his own image. As a representative of denizens in need, OT Royal Society of Quality does not believe any denizen would want to be subject to absolute control by such means. As a maintainer of quality, OT Royal Society of Quality must protect each individual's ability to contribute toward quality. Therefore, no such technology shall be allowed in OT and Asht. Co is to cease operations.

I can confirm abraker has sold the rights to me. The evidence provided in the thread was incorrect at first but then someone kindly fixed it. No sognature was required as the transaction was made with peppy coins.

Asht. Co heavily believes and supports the health of ot! Denizens and as such, we ensure everything we release to the public has been thoroughly tested and approved by healthcare professionals.

I, or any of my employees have never made any mention to mindcontrol whatsoever. I recognize the danger of mind control and as you’ve said, would never put such a dangerous formula out to the public let alone my own factories!

The prosecution will now make it's opening statements:

On the day January 19th, 2019. Ashton had made a forum thread on OT claiming to have repossessed A-Breaking Laboratory with 400 billion PP.
He also ordered a shut-down alert but instead of shutting down the company, he would keep the company running under the name "Asht.Co" with any sales made by the products will go directly to Ashton. This also includes older products which have been developed and published by A-Breaking Laboratory.

Here's proof of what happened:

The evidence which Ashton have submitted was nothing but some text which he himself typed out. Further more, it does not come into a form of an official legal contract, so it the contract does not hold any legal validity.

Later on the same day, abraker - the rightful owner of A-Breaking Laboratory came back to his company and kicked out Ashton who have illegally took possession of A-Breaking Laboratory.

Proof:

The next day, January 20th 2019. Ashton had made another forum thread on OT this time simply titled as " Recruiting!".
In the forum thread which by now have been highly edited, Ashton was trying to recruit people into "his" company, "Ash.Co" which actually is A-Breaking Laboratory which is rightfully owned by abraker.
To apply for the company, Ashton asked for people's personal information which includes name, reason for joining and any other information that one's willing to share.

Proof:

But as you can see clearly, the thread was edited by Ashton 7 days ago due to community back-lash.
In the original post, Ashton simply asked people to be the test subject to his mind controlling machine which is a dangerous and inhumane product that need to be investigated further.

Sadly, I do not have the original screen shot of the original post so I cannot prove that Ashton said anything of sort. But I will be delighted if someone do have the original post saved and shared with the court so that all of the shady things that Ashton did can be tried by the court of law.

Overall, Ashton have violated the following rules due to his actions:
- Transaction contract forgery.
- Intrusion of private property. (This is when Ashton hijacked A-Breaking Laboratory and was eventually kicked out by abraker)
- Illegal recruiting in the name of a company that he does not own nor is a part of.
- Official documents illegal editing. (This is when he edited his recruit thread)
- Scam and fraud. (Ashton claimed to have bought A-Breaking Laboratory without any official documents to back up that claim and the 400 billion PP was never delivered to abraker - The rightful owner of the company)
- The illegal gathering of people's personal information. (When he asked for people's personal info in his fake recruiting thread)

Further more, with reasons stated above, there are grounds to suspect Ashton on the illegal activity of human testing and the development of a mind controlling device.
But with this we shall have to wait for more evidence to be submitted.

Also, Ashton's statements just now does not hold any grounds.



The transaction still needs official signature and contracts for something as big as a company. Buying it with "Peppy coin" does not remove the requirement of an official signature. Royal OT scientist abraker also never accepted any transaction regarding his company with Ashton.

Also the statement contradicts with another official statement that Ashton made which he said that he have bought A-Breaking Laboratory with 400 billion PP and not Peppy coins.

For edits, a new box will be placed underneath the original for which the edit occurred for in chronological order, not in the same box as the original post. "Original" post boxes have their titles bold to ensure that they are easy to parse through if the number of edit boxes becomes large.

An archive will also be maintained and kept accessible to all parties. Archive (google drive)

This post is preferred when officially referencing or contesting previous statements made, as the posts themselves are vulnerable to being "stealth edited". Hotlink to this post

Please note that "Originals" may not be the actual first permutation of the post, but merely the first permutation that was sighted and documented. Also note that the titles of the boxes do not take to bbcode on the new site and so this post is best browsed with the old site to have Originals and Edits stand apart more clearly. "Stealth edits" may or may not be documented depending on whether it's a big enough edit for the court reporter to notice. The date of "stealth edits" will be approximated with "circa".

Edits to this post, as well as irrelevant posts, will not be documented.

Moving forward, changing the persona presenting an original post via edits will not be possible.

Firstly I would like to apologize for the lack of clarity Ashton has provided with many of you today. I am in high hopes that my following statements will make it clear that Asht. Co, and any associations with it have not been getting involved with any illegal activity.


Secondly, pp and peppy coins are two exactly same things. They are currency osu players use, it is called differently depending on where the person is from. Ashton should have kept a consistent use of the term however it should certainly not be something to get called on.

With that out of the way, it appears abraker lacks official papers that signify that his “a-braking laboratory’s” company was ever verified, and unless he presents official papers that signify so his company was technically open for anyone to take. Ashton was generous and gave abraker money for his company, even though there technically was no exchange syndrome all since abreaking laboratory’s never existed in the first place. It’s simply a crazed scientist who somehow believes he owns an entire corporation. To prove Asht. Co is a verified company, however, I will attach the official papers of verification:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Z7y1VoRJvJV06t_vu77S88bcxgJ9Fu3rqhDzx8FVdo

With this information Ashton has never broken a law and instead lacked clarity in terms of communication. After consulting with him we have concluded the following statements to be 100% true with no misconceptions:

1. Ashton has not purchased the rights to abreaking laboratory’s, as there were no rights in the first place.

2. Ashton has bought the technology’s and resources of abrakers supposed (unofficial) corporation. Because the corporation is unofficial, however, evidence of purchase is not needed

(With the permission of all relevant parties, a small correction has been made to previously recorded statements, as per my request. Previous timeline archived at Aiseca's request, but is not considered relevant in this trial)

History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.

To my knowledge, A-Breaking Laboratory does not have any verification.
HOWEVER, A-Breaking Laboratory was more of a personal business than a full blown company with employees.
Because A-Breaking Laboratory isn't really a company, the company's name was never registered and so the name "A-Breaking Laboratory" is free for anyone to take.
But the only thing that can be taken is the name, nothing else since every single product that A-Breaking Laboratory released is the financial and intellectual property of abraker.
Ashton DID NOT take the name of "A-Breaking Laboratory", he intruded on abraker's private property. He also illegally claimed possession of any sales that A-Breaking Laboratory's products would make which is the financial and intellectual property of abraker.

Proof:

He claimed that he will change abraker's "A-Breaking Laboratory" to "Asht. Co".
To which that statement directly contradicted the evidence that Ashton have submitted to the court.


The document indicates that it's a company registration under the name of "Asht. Co" so if "Asht. Co" is an official registered name for a company, Ashton cannot re-use the name for another company.

Furthermore, we all should question the validity of the document that Ashton had submitted to the court. Ashton is a person with the history of contract forgery and so it would not be too strange to assume that he also forged this one.
The "Official Verification of Asht. Co" does not come into the form of an official verification. The document lacked professionalism and there's no proof that the verification is valid.
The document is also a file on google docs which is read only except for the owner of the document.
The only person who can freely change the content of this document is it's owner, which is Ashton.

So we can establish that Ashton can change the document into anything he wants at anytime, further lowering the document's value as official evidence.
The document also states: "This paper may be used in court only if the funder is present at the trial".
So there is NO ONE who can be an eye witness to make sure that the contents of the document have never been tampered with.
Or even if there is a witness then the term: "This paper may be used in court only if the funder is present at the trial" is broken, making the document worthless.

Also the timing of this "Official Verification" is really strange too.
The document clearly states that it's been made on January 28th, 2018.
However, Ashton didn't even exist at the time as on his profile we can see he joined Osu! 3 years ago on February 4th, 2016.





Since this document is "Official" we can exclude the possibility of an error.
And so the only logical explanation is that Ashton have forged the evidence, adding another offense: Falsifying and submitting false evidence to the court of law.

And even though, Ashton have been stating over and over again that he have given money to abraker:

the founder, abraker, has solds its rights to me for 400 billion pp.

Ashton was generous and gave abraker money for his company, even though there technically was no exchange syndrome all since abreaking laboratory’s never existed in the first place.

No sognature was required as the transaction was made with peppy coins.

There was no transaction contract or any other form of evidence that indicates Ashton have actually given abraker any amount of money.
And even if there is then there was no agreement made by abraker since there is no contract. Ashton was just giving abraker money for free.

But to clarify, to this day, abraker have never received any form of payment from Ashton nor was there a mutual buy and sell contract.
