Nowhere to Hide

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 27, 2025

Clownfish trying to hide behind the rock

Earlier this year: 10-Step Strategy to Get BRETT WILSON LLP ("Gun for Hire"), Microsoft's Serial Strangler, and the Serial Defamer to Compensate Techrights and Tux Machines for Years of SLAPPs and Abusive Litigation

Earlier this month: Admission That a Third Party (or Parties) Funds the SLAPPs Against Techrights | At This Point It's No Longer Matthew Garrett But People Who Fund Matthew Garrett (or Companies That Fund His SLAPPs Against My Wife and I)

When it comes to Microsoft's Graveley & Garrett v Schestowitz & Schestowitz, all we have is a violent Serial Strangler from Microsoft and his litigation buddy Garrett [1, 2] misusing the British courts while they reside in another continent and get some mystery rich party to pay their legal bills. This is abuse of process - something their lawyers were recently found to be guilty of. They try to silence us. They got unscrupulous lawyers and their lawyers got sued a week ago by their very own (former) clients.

Things don't go well for them. They now devote all their effort and capacity to attacking my wife and I. They refuse to say who's funding this attack. Their clientele has admitted already that it is a third party. Hence the Hulk Hogan analogy.

We, in the meantime, devote our efforts to ensuring they will compensate us for what they did. I did my legal "homework" and "research" on this. It's going to pay off. We'll certainly hold people liable.

The law firm has attempted to tone down its letters (too late) after repeatedly defaming me in them; they're very clearly bluffing in their communications to us (for over a month already the bluff was just outright ridiculous).

We have good reasons to suspect they too are realising they'll have to pay for this.

As they are perfectly aware, if one can get the other party to disclaim privilege or force the erosion thereof (e.g. via regulatory action), then it is possible to pursue costs from the firm or its Directors (Limited Liability would not help). Given the amount we can claim in costs, it might end up with Mr. Wilson from Brett Wilson having to sell his home (or some other house or something to that effect), more so if his clients from Microsoft are unable to bear the costs or are hiding in the other continent while trustees chase them, or demand that future wages are garnished, leaving Mr. Wilson et al sweaty under the neck or pale in the face (we can see he got personally involved, based on metadata in letters sent around the time they got the Serial Strangler involved; last week they made it clear Mr. Wilson is personally and directly involved in both cases). They are not happy right now, knowing that whatever they did - the female staff included - is under growing scrutiny, including the source of funding (the litigants could not afford such cases, they were bluffing all along and repeatedly made it apparent).

Why did they even start this? Are they regretting this yet? Rogue legal advice?

We'll do our best to convince the Judge to award all costs to us (lawyers, barrister, LIP bills etc.) plus judgements against them, for abusive litigation and needless suffering associated with that abuse.

Mr. Wilson might say, "oh, I don't have the money" (you can sell your home, sir) or "it's the business" (you're a Director there, sir). As a lawyer, he is perfectly aware he too can be made liable and courts can force parties to disclose who paid the legal bills (for us to get compensated properly and fully). Any pound they got from that party (or parties) will need to go to us, plus more (for emotional abuse).

This is assured to end badly for them. We'll continue to press with the facts and pound with the law. All they do is pound on the table on behalf of terrible human beings whom they refer to as "Our Clients" (people who pound on women).
