In a terribly-reasoned opinion issued May 12, 2023, Justice L. Merritt overturns our Default Judgment against Sergei Sachkov and orders the return of the money we seized from his bank account. He is allowed to present his manifestly weak defense and what could have been the swift delivery of justice now becomes precedent for everyone to now completely ignore civil lawsuits.
We sought leave to appeal the decision, concerned it would unleash chaos in the justice system, but were rejected by a panel of three other judges on October 13, 2023.
Below is a copy of the Order.
