Everyone Hate Warner Bros. Discovery

Oh my god, this company sucks. You know what this company has done?! Well, hear what i'm gonna tell you why the WarnerMedia And Discovery Merger Was One Of The Worst Mergers In The Media Industry Of The United States.

1. They removed and cancelled shows From HBO Max, like Aquaman: King of Atlantis, Close Enough, Elliott From Earth, The Fungies! Infinity Train, Mao Mao, Heroes of Pure Heart, Mighty Magiswords, OK K-O, Let's Be Heroes, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Summer Camp Island, Tig n' Seek, Victor and Valentino, And Several Others. Like The What The Fuck! It Seems That Someone Doesn't Gives A Shit About Any Animation At All, Warner Bros Discovery Is Being So Not Fair To All Of Us! And all they care about is the stupid live action and reality shit. So Yeah, I Guess We Need A Marathon On Either Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Adult Swim, Or Discovery Family.

2. They cancelled Scoob! Holiday Haunt, Batgirl, And Other Movies That Warner Bros Is Planning To Make. What The Fuck! I Just Waited For Those Movies To Come, But This Pile Of Shit Has Came And Ruined It. Despite the fact that they have cancelled Batgirl Just Because They Don't want to get criticized.

3: The Creators That Are Making Shows For Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Adult Swim, HBO, And Several Others Have Been Fired Because Of That Shitty company that i'm talking about.

4: They replaced Boomerang with Cartoonito in Europe.

5: they are also merged HBO Max and Discovery Plus into Max, And removed some shows. Which Was Stupid.

6: They Have Shutted Down CNN Plus.

7: In 2024 it's been announced that NBC Universal will be merging with it. Are You Kidding Me?! That would be a questionable decision, As my big concern was that it would seriously damage the mass media industry in the United States. Why can't they separate both of the media companies. And Do you know what's worse?

THEY'VE SHUTTED DOWN CARTOON NETWORK STUDIOS HEADQUARTERS IN BURBANK CALIFORNIA IN AUGUST 1ST. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! GOD MOTHERFUCKING DAMMIT!!! this is complete bullshit 100%, thanks to that pile of shit! Cartoon Network Studios Has Moved To Warner Bros Animation Headquarters. But Good Thing That Cartoon Network Studios Is Alive. and yes, Discovery is completely killing Warner Bros, Cartoon Network, And DC Comics. It's Like A Living Shit With Their Actions. Whoever made this chaos should get fired some day. I Really Hope That Warner Bros Discovery Get Shutted Down For Good, And I Really Hope That WarnerMedia And Discovery Break Up Very Soon.

To the editor,

What are your thoughts on the financial & legal aspects of the Templar Treasure? I was going over the epilogue scene and noticed that it's stated that Ben was offered (paraphrased) '10% of the treasure but turned it down because it was too much'. I asked a friend of mine who is an actuary and she suggested that they probably made money by auctioning the treasure off to museums, plus book deals and other publicity.

I could envision something like: once the treasure is validated & the cavern is assessed to make sure it won't collapse, would Ben hire some company to oversee the preservation/excavation/distribution of the treasure? Is there a Gates Family LLC out there that we don't see in the movie? Obviously Ben and Abigail would be down there elbow deep in artifacts and Riley would be starting to write his book, but who would be doing all of the enormously complicated administrative stuff? Who has control of the treasure to the point where they are able to offer '10% as a finder's fee'?

As always, love your work!!

Finders Keepers? The Legalities of Treasure Hunting.

@arsenicalbronze

Thank you so much for another fantastic question! I really appreciate your engagement! This one was fascinating to dig into.

Now, I am not a lawyer, and I don’t even play one on TV.

I do, however, possess a copy of Property Law for Dummies, because I had similar questions regarding the legalities at play in an as-yet-unfinished original treasure hunt story I was working on a few years ago.

Then, like now, I skipped directly to Chapter 13: Acquiring Rights by Finding and Possessing Personal Property.

Let’s see if we can dig through and discover some answers to your question.

First of all, sunken ships and buried treasures are governed by significantly different laws, strange as that may sound.

Sea-based Treasure

Sunken ships are governed by law of salvage rather than law of finders.

According to this law of salvage “whoever intentionally takes possession of property that is lost or in peril at sea, such as a sunken ship, is entitled to an equitable award from a court, while the owner of the property remains the owner.” (p222)

The court considers factors like:

value of the property salvaged

investment and difficulty in salvaging

to determine how much to award the salvor (person who salvages it).

The text goes on to say that in these kinds of cases the court may “award finders a portion of the property’s value as compensation.”

So that seems to square with what the movie says about Ben getting awarded a personage of the treasure’s estimated value.

Except this is not accurate because the treasure is not salvage.

Let’s move on to land-based treasures.

Land-based Treasure

In most cases, the landowner of the land a thing of value is found on has the superior claim over it. The possessor who found the objects (legally known as ‘chattel’) has a claim to them over everyone except the landowner.

That would mean that the treasure was property of Trinity Church (who, btw is one of the largest landowners in New York City?? As of 2019 the church had over $6 billion in assets?)

But fear not!

There is an exception to this claim of ownership in the case of what is legally known as ‘treasure trove.’

Treasure Trove

Property Law for Dummies defines treasure trove as “money or treasure, such as gold and silver, that the true owner concealed for safekeeping so long ago that the true owner is unlikely to return for it.” (p228)

So, intentionally buried valuables go from “mislaid” property—left with the intention of being reclaimed—to “treasure trove” with a long enough passage of time.

'Enough passage of time' is at least long enough that the true owner is likely dead. Evidence used in courts to declare something treasure trove include:

Dates found on old coins or paper money

The age of the place where its concealed

The condition of the place where it’s concealed

The Templar Treasure certainly meets these criteria.

Both the Declaration of Independence and the Charlotte provide concrete dates for the last possible human interaction with the treasure or clues.

The age of the Trinity Church crypt—specifically the burial date of Parkington Lane—provides an age to the passageway.

The treasure room itself would certainly show evidence of damage if someone had tried to break in without the meerschaum pipe to unlock the door. Without it, any treasure seekers would have needed to blast or break open the wall.

So an excellent case can be made that the Templar Treasure is treasure trove. I mean, if it isn't, what the hell is?

This is excellent news for Ben because “the finder of treasure trove owns it against the landowner and everyone else except the true owner.” (p229) And, by definition, the true owner of treasure trove is long-dead.

But! There are a few caveats. It’s law. Of course there are caveats.

The true owners’ descendants still have a right to claim the property. The farther into antiquity the hiding took place, the less likely this will happen, but it is still possible that some other family descended from the treasure-hiders has some other old piece of paper/object that proves they have some claim to the treasure.

2. Some states have started rejecting the treasure trove doctrine in recent decades, seeking to discourage trespassing on others’ property. Ben can breath easy though, because New York is one of the states that recognized treasure trove law.

However,

3. The landowner can still prevail against the finder if the finder’s claim is unfair or wrongful. Such circumstances may include:

The more extensively the finder trespassed, the more likely the landowner will prevail against the finder.

If the finder is employed by the landowner, the landowner will almost surely win.

If the finder was permitted to enter for a limited purpose and went beyond this scope, the landowner is likely to win.

If the real property (that is land, vs personal property, which is stuff) is private rather than open to the public, the landowner is more likely to win.

The last three examples don’t seem like they’d hold up. Ben wasn’t employed by or affiliated with Trinity Church, he wasn’t given limited permission to excavate that he went beyond, and Trinity Church is open to the public daily.

However, he did do a wee bit of trespassing.

Trespassing

Popping over to pages 52-53, let’s learn about trespassing!

A trespass is “an intentional, wrongful entry onto another person’s land without the owner’s permission and without a legal privilege to do so.”

Interestingly enough, one of said legal privileges you can have to enter property even without the owner’s permission is “out of necessity, to prevent serious harm to person or property.”

So the fact that Team Treasure was held at gunpoint by Ian’s team—who was already shown to be destructive to historic spaces and items on multiple occasions—may actually benefit them if they were taken to court by Trinity Church!

My Ruling

It seems—according to my skimming ten pages of a this book—that Ben actually does own the treasure outright.

Which surprises me! Based on the same dialogue you cite...

RILEY Ten per cent, Ben. They offered you ten per cent and you turned it down.

BEN Riley, we've been over this. It was too much. I couldn't accept it.

...I had always assumed possession of the treasure turned over to someone else and Ben was awarded a sum based on a percentage of its total estimated value.

Based on this reading and your friend’s suggestions, it seems more likely that they auctioned off or otherwise earned money from the treasure up to 1% of its value, and then possibly donated the rest and/or set up some kind of Templar Treasure Foundation dedicated to preserving and distributing the treasure.

(Not sure what the tax situation on such a find is, but donating to museums is great way not to be taxed on art/historic valuables, right? Only Riley seems to be having trouble with the IRS.)

Further Involvement

As for Ben and Abigail being “elbow deep in artifacts,” the total absence of followup on the treasure remains one of the most baffling choices made for Book of Secrets, at least in my opinion.

Sorting through the treasure—cataloging, distributing, preserving, restoring, and studying the tens of thousands of objects in the cavern—is way more than a two-year projects. It’s lifetimes of work. And yet it seems that by the time BoS roles around Ben and Abigail have no involvement with the treasure whatsoever.

That, I think, is also what lead me to assume something more like salvage rules applied—that once Ben found it he was compensated, but he did not own or have any claim of involvement over the treasure, because he no longer seems to be engaged with it at all when we see him next.

Conclusion

Would this hold up in court? Who knows!

But I feel pretty confident that it would hold up in the court of screenplay logic.

And by that I mean, if you google, "does the finder of a treasure own it" while watching a movie, the first few results would say "Yeah" and you'd be like "neat" and go back to watching.

This was actually really fascinating!

I can't say that I'm likely to read more about property law (the remaining 20 chapters of this book will almost certainly go unread), but this poses all kinds of interesting implications for what happened to the treasure after they found it.

It looks like you have a plausible legal footing to configure any number of scenarios:

Rival claims! Sued by the church! Administrative nightmares! Museum auctions! Non-profits! The archeological event of the millennium!

Possibilities abound!

Which ones are y'all most interested in?

Thanks again so much for all of your questions! They always point me in such interesting directions and inspire me to uncover more. Feel free to send another any time!

Today's Focus

11.14.23 - We are not having a great time of it today folks. Aside from dealing with the foot, the antique necklace I wanted to wear today broke as I was putting it on. I thought to myself 'well I'll bring it with me to work and fix it there' only to discover at work that the piece that broke off didn't make it into the little baggie. So now it's lost somewhere in my house and I pray that it's either somewhere easy to spot or that my dad finds it before my cats do.

Work - I have to take a typing test today to be eligible for my promotion, and I'm doing the next 50 pages of redaction, and whatever else happens to come in. Hopefully a slow, quiet day, though I'm prepared to help Claims out (our Adult Survivor Act for adult victims of sexual assault got an extension so we have a huge influx of claims in our office related to that)

Background Noise - Okay I have 79 videos on the Watch Later, but like yesterday I'm cycling content so I don't get too bored.

Between the three playlists I was working off of yesterday I watched about a dozen different videos at least!

Study - It's news article day so here are the set goals:

Two (2) of the testimonies from the Emmett Till murder trial.

Eight (8) more of the Panama Paper power player biographies.

Three (3) related Panama Paper news articles.

Three (3) news articles related to the Afghan Files.

At least three (3) pages of the Glass Report.

Article "A Case of Identity" from LIFE magazine 1953.

At least three (3) saved 'good news' articles.

Study "Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race & Sex"

I did get a crapton of reading done yesterday!

Read both testimonies from the Emmett Till murder trial.

Read all eight (8) of the power player biographies.

Read four (4) news articles related to the Panama Papers

Read four (4) news articles related to the Afghan Files

Finished reading the Masterpiece Cakeshop LLC v. Colorado decision

Read two (2) pages of Bill HR 5376

Extras - Okay so I did most of my chores yesterday, but forgot the catbox. So it's cleaning the catbox today, plus the second wall of my bedroom, and the microwave. Dinner is steaks and homemade mashed taters. Wind down goals are reading more webcomics and writing if the spirit moves me.

Giant Mutant Giant Giant Mole - CR15 Animal

What do you get when you take a giant giant mole, and then mutate it, and then giant-size it?

Artwork is official concept art from RuneScape, copyright Jagex.

You needed a boss for your giant giant mole dungeon, right?

Giant mutant giant giant moles, aside from being thirty feet long and twenty feet tall, also have the ability to mutate people they bite in a sort of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kind of way. This functions as lycanthropy, transforming the target into a were-dogmole. Dogmoles aren't an official Pathfinder creature, but are Large-sized moles that were published by Open Design LLC in the Midgard Bestiary for Pathfinder RPG. If you want a stat block for a merely giant mole (as opposed to a giant giant mole), that's the one to use; just replace its Wormkiller Rage with this creature's Crop-Devouring Rage (or don't; I'm not your mom).

Giant mutant giant giant moles themselves aren't lycanthropes, but are able to carry and transmit the curse.

This creature uses the "overwhelmed" condition, a condition that I use for a lot of monsters. I’ve previously used it for the First World Responder, but in my own games I nearly always replace the stunned, paralyzed and nauseated conditions with overwhelmed when enemies inflict those conditions onto PCs.

Giant Mutant Giant Giant Mole - CR 15

Next to the other moles in this cavern, the creature in front of you looks like a giant. And those other moles would already look like giants next to giant moles. On top of that, this thing's face is bloated and deformed with some kind of strange mutation.

XP 51,200 N Colossal animal Init +9 Senses blindsight 60 ft., scent, tremorsense 120 ft.; Perception +13

DEFENSE

AC 29, touch 7, flat-footed 24 (+5 Dex, +22 natural, –8 size) hp 225 (18d8+144) Defensive Abilities fast healing 10 Fort +21; Ref +16; Will +12

OFFENSE

Speed 80 ft., burrow 60 ft., climb 15 ft. Melee bite +20 (4d6+14/18–20 plus curse of lycanthropy), 2 claws +20 (2d8+14 plus overwhelming disease) Space 30 ft.; Reach 20 ft. (15 ft. with bite) Special Attacks crop-devouring rage, ferocity, powerful bite

STATISTICS

Str 38, Dex 21, Con 26, Int 2, Wis 18, Cha 9 Base Atk +13; CMB +35; CMD 50 (54 vs. trip) Feats Cleave, Cleaving Finish, Great Cleave, Great Fortitude, Improved Initiative, Iron Will, Power Attack, Weapon Focus (bite, claw) Skills Climb +25, Perception +13, Survival +14 (+22 when underground), Swim +17; Racial Modifiers +8 Survival when underground

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Burrow (Ex) Giant mutant giant giant moles cannot burrow into solid rock, but they can move through softer material like soil or loose rubble, leaving a usable tunnel 10 ft. in diameter.

Crop-Devouring Rage (Ex) Once per hour, if a giant mutant giant giant mole spends a standard action eating crops or other edible plants, it can enter a rage similar to an unchained barbarian's rage. It gains a +2 bonus on attack and damage rolls and 36 temporary hit points, but suffers a -2 penalty to AC. This rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to its hit dice plus its Constitution modifier (typically 26 rounds), and the giant mutant giant giant mole is fatigued for 1 minute after the rage ends. Unlike a barbarian, a giant mutant giant giant mole cannot end its rage voluntarily.

Curse of Lycanthropy (Su) Although a giant mutant giant giant mole is not itself a lycanthrope, it is a carrier for lycanthropy, and can transmit it through its bite. A target hit by a giant mutant giant giant mole's bite attack must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy as a were-giant-mole (ignoring the typical size restriction). This gives the target the lycanthrope template with a dogmole as its bestial form, except that the target gains the Crop-Devouring Rage ability (see above) in place of the Wormkiller Rage.

Ferocity (Ex) Giant mutant giant giant moles continue to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying.

Overwhelming Disease (Su) Claw—injury; save Fort DC 27, onset 1d4+2 rounds, frequency 1 day, effect 1d3 Con damage plus overwhelmed condition, cure 2 consecutive saves. This is a disease effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

An overwhelmed creature is staggered and cannot concentrate. If an overwhelmed creature attacks or casts a spell, it falls prone and becomes helpless until the beginning of its next turn after doing so. Effects that would remove or prevent the paralyzed or nauseated conditions also remove or prevent the overwhelmed condition.

Powerful Bite (Ex) A giant mutant giant giant mole's bite attack naturally has a critical threat range of 18–20.

It was worth the mile plus hike up the beach from the closest public access to shoot the "Capt. Chris" shrimp boat. It has been ground since June at South Ponte Vedra Beach. Thought I should finally get up there before a hurricane moves it or destroys it. [Steve Brooks]

"It's late in the day. It's not morning; it's not noon. It doesn't seem to be just early afternoon. I’m looking at a setting sun. And all of the things inside of me: I would hate to die with them inside of me. I'd like to get them down. I’ve got to get this stuff finished before the parade passes by."-

Could a 55+ Community Be Right for You?

If you’re thinking about downsizing, you may be hearing about 55+ communities and wondering if they’d be a good fit for you. Here’s some information that could help you make your decision.

What Is a 55+ Community?

It’s important to note that these communities aren’t just for people who need extra support — they can be pretty vibrant, too. Many people who are downsizing opt for this type of home because they’re looking to be surrounded by people in a similar season of life. U.S. News explains:

“The terms ‘55-plus community,’ ‘active adult community,’ ‘lifestyle communities’ and ‘planned communities’ refer to a setting that caters to the needs and preferences of adults over the age of 55. These communities are designed for seniors who are able to care for themselves but may be looking to downsize to a community with others their same age and with similar interests.”

Why It’s Worth Considering This Type of Home

If that sounds like something that may interest you, here’s one thing to consider. You may find you’ve got a growing list of options if you look at this type of community. According to 55places.com, the number of listings tailored for homebuyers in this age group has increased by over 50% compared to last year.

And a bigger pool of options could make your move much less stressful because it’s easier to find something that’s specifically designed to meet your needs.

Other Benefits of 55+ Communities

On top of that, there are other benefits to seeking out this type of home. An article from 55places.com, highlights just a few:

Lower-Maintenance Living: Tired of mowing the lawn or pulling weeds? Many of these communities take care of this for you. So, you can spend more time doing fun things, and less time on maintenance.

On-Site Amenities: Some feature lifestyle amenities like a clubhouse, fitness center, and more, so it’s easy to stay active. Plus, others offer media rooms, libraries, spas, arts and craft studios, and more.

Like-Minded Neighbors: Additionally, these types of homes usually offer clubs, outings, meet-ups, and more to foster a close-knit community.

Accessible Floor Plans: Not to mention, many have first-floor living options, ample storage spaces, and modern floor plans so you can have a home tailored to this phase in your life.

Bottom Line

If this sounds appealing to you, let’s connect with real estate agents from KM Realty Group LLC. Let’s discuss what’s available in our area, unique community amenities, and potential 55+ homes that may match your search criteria.

Why You Should Think Twice About Forming Your Business Entity Online 🚨🖥️

Let’s talk business! 💼 Have you ever thought about forming a business online? I mean, those websites make it look SO easy, right? Just a few clicks, and BAM—you’ve got yourself a business entity. But hold up a minute. Before you dive in, let’s break down why these quick fixes might not be the best for your biz in the long run. 🛑

1. Choosing the Right Business Entity: More Than Just a Quick Click 🤔🖱️

Okay, so you want to start a business. Awesome! But have you really thought about what kind of entity you need? It’s not just about picking one and moving on. You need to consider your business goals—both short-term AND long-term. Are you gonna stay solo, or do you have dreams of bringing in partners later? 🤷‍♀️

When you go through those self-help sites, you’re literally just checking boxes. They don’t care about your vision or your specific business needs. It’s like building a house without looking at the blueprint first! And trust me, that could spell disaster later on. 😱

2. The Risks of Cookie-Cutter Forms: It’s Not As Simple As It Seems 📑❌

So here’s the thing: when you go the DIY route with those websites, they give you cookie-cutter forms. They might seem fine at first, but they often fail to consider what’s actually required for YOUR unique situation. And the worst part? They’re sneaky with the fine print. 😳

You could end up paying for services you don’t even need! Like, who really needs a corporate seal for a small LLC? It’s easy to get fleeced into buying extra stuff that doesn’t even benefit your business. 💸

Plus, those cookie-cutter forms aren’t set up for flexibility. They won’t prepare you for all the different scenarios you might face as your business grows. That’s a big yikes! 😬

3. Governance Docs Need to Be Tailored: Don’t Fall for the One-Size-Fits-All Trap 🚫📋

Now, let’s get real for a second. The REAL backbone of your business is your governance documents. Think of them as the rules for how your business runs—who makes decisions, how you handle disputes, and what happens if someone wants out. 💬💡

Here’s the catch: the docs you get from those websites are SO generic. Like, I’ve seen the same ones literally hundreds of times. They don’t cover all the important stuff that could make or break your business down the road. And if you’ve got partners, things could get real messy real fast if your documents aren’t on point. 😵

The Bottom Line: Don’t Settle for Quick Fixes—Invest in Your Business’s Future 🌟💼

I get it—starting a business is exciting, and you want to get up and running ASAP. But remember, this is your future we’re talking about! You wouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, so why do the same for your business? 🏠

Instead of going with those cookie-cutter websites, take the time to work with a professional who can help you set everything up the right way. It might cost a little more upfront, but in the long run, you’ll be thanking yourself when your business is running smoothly and you’re avoiding those major headaches. 🙌

Have you ever thought about forming a business online, or did you go through with it? Let’s chat about it! Drop your experiences or questions below, and let’s make sure your business is off to the best possible start. 💬💖

The Usury Suspects, Part 3: Tivol’s ex-pres knows where the real money is

On the cover of Ingram’s last month was a man named Steve Mitchem. The business publication was honoring him with one of its “Local Heroes” awards for philanthropic contributions — Mitchem has given $160,000 to the Down Syndrome Guild of Greater Kansas City over the past three years.

Mitchem has led an interesting life. He moved to Kansas City in the early 1980s to pursue graduate studies at Nazarene Theological Seminary. He then worked as a traveling evangelist for two years before settling in locally as a full-time minister at the Church of the Nazarene. In 1990, Mitchem went secular, at least professionally. He retired as a minister and joined Tivol, the luxury jewelry company, as an associate at its retail space on the Country Club Plaza. He rose through the ranks and was named president of Tivol in 2005.

Here in Kansas City, that’s a powerful, and surely quite lucrative, gig. Yet Mitchem left Tivol two years after being appointed to the post. A story at the time in JCK, a trade publication covering the jewelry industry, reported that he was resigning to “join his son in his loan business.”

About that loan business: Technically it is dozens of separate companies, with many different names, but it adds up to one of the largest online payday-lending operations based in Kansas City, according to several individuals with ties to the industry.

“Steve was working down at Tivol on the Plaza, and these payday guys kept coming in every other month and buying Rolexes,” a source tells The Pitch. “He figured out that they were basically printing money doing their online-lending businesses, and he wanted in on it. So first, he set his son up in the business. Then he quit Tivol and joined him.”

Filings with the secretary of state’s offices in Missouri and Kansas, plus a couple of lawsuits, help back up that account. In December 2006, Mitchem’s son, Josh Mitchem, filed articles of incorporation in Missouri for a company called Platinum B Services. In 2012, Dustin McDaniel, the attorney general of Arkansas, brought a lawsuit against that company and PDL Support LLC, another company controlled by Josh Mitchem.

In the suit, McDaniel alleged that Josh Mitchem and his companies controlled a variety of LLCs, purportedly based in the West Indies federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, that were engaged in lending over the Internet to Arkansas citizens at interest rates as high as 644 percent. Arkansas law caps rates on consumer loans at 17 percent.

“The purpose of these LLCs is to make it appear as if the Defendants are not the actual payday lenders and to otherwise shield Defendants from liability from lawsuits such as the one brought by the Attorney General in this case,” the lawsuit states. “The Defendants make the decisions concerning all lending operations from their offices in the Kansas City, MO area.”

The Arkansas attorney general’s office also produced evidence that Josh Mitchem responded to consumer complaints mailed to his company by requesting that correspondence be sent to an address in Charlestown, Nevis — despite the fact that his return letters were postmarked in Kansas City.

In the settlement that was reached, Josh Mitchem denied any wrongdoing but agreed to stop lending in Arkansas and pay $80,000 to the state.

More recently, Josh Mitchem was named in a class-action RICO complaint brought in California against about two dozen players in the payday industry (including MoneyMutual LLC and its spokesman, talk-show host Montel Williams). In it, Mitchem’s company Rare Moon Media is accused in that state of unlicensed lending and of negotiating and signing marketing contracts on behalf of unlicensed lenders.

Rare Moon Media was incorporated in Kansas in 2010. In 2011 and 2012, its filings with the secretary of state list Josh Mitchem, Steve Mitchem and Jeremy Shaffer, among others, as the primary stakeholders. Shaffer replaced Steve Mitchem as general manager at Tivol when Mitchem was promoted to president.

Jeffrey Wilens, the plaintiffs’ attorney in the RICO suit against Rare Moon Media, says, “The business address for Rare Moon Media is the same West Indies business address as several other lenders making unlicensed loans in the state of California, such as SCS Processing and Everest Cash Advance. The company is either consulting companies who make illegal loans, or it is simply making illegal loans by itself and pretending to be a consultant of some kind. Either way, the service it provides is to aid, abet and facilitate criminals breaking the law in the state of California.”

Steve Mitchem told Ingram’s that he splits time between his two homes: One off Ward Parkway in Kansas City, the other in St. Thomas, of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The latter address allows his various business entities (Mitchem Holdings, according to the article) to more comfortably avoid regulatory scrutiny and taxation by the U.S. government.

“There are some of us who have been blessed and are fortunate enough to be able to give, and quite frankly, I believe we have that responsibility to get involved financially,” Steve Mitchem told Ingram’s of his philanthropy. “Some people can’t do that. I’m one of those guys who’s fortunate and can do that.”
