How bad is it if Hogan lied about the fraud complaint?
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, October 21 2012 @ 07:18 AM EDT
Well... Hogan isn't talking any more :-) it seem like someone
has advice him to keep his mouth shut :-)

I think what you are talking about happened outside the court

Hogan never mentioned any fraud complaint (or any other legal action) involving
Seagate in court. Therefore, he couldn't have lied about it there.

IIRC, things happened in this order.

1. Samsung filed a redacted motion. A list of citations or attachments mentioned
Seagate vs. Hogan. That's all that was visible publicly about the lawsuit.

2. Hogan tried to explain the lawsuit to at least one reporter by saying that he
sued Seagate for fraud. (It would have been called Hogan v. Seagate, not Seagate
v. Hogan if that had been the case.) He also said that he didn't mention it to
Judge Koh because it wasn't clear that she wanted him to continue after he
talked about a different case.

3. The motions were unsealed. Now you could tell what Samsung was really saying.
One thing that became public was that Seagate's lawyer was married to a partner
at Quinn.

4. Hogan evidently thought, "Oh! Drat! That means I can't lie about the
Seagate lawsuit because they know what it's really about." Hogan stopped
talking about the lawsuit and switched his excuse for not mentioning it to Judge
Koh. He started telling reporters that he wasn't supposed to mention anything
older than ten years ago. I don't know why he changed his story about that, but
it might have been the general feeling that his old lies didn't work so he had
to try new ones.

Still, it speaks to Hogan's never-ending need to lie to justify his vendetta.
