Nguyễn Ngọc Như Quỳnh has filed a last minute motion to delay her case against Daniel Tran. We have posted the motion below.
What This Means?
It appears that Quynh’s defense team is unable to secure travel for Minh Tu to Texas to represent himself in the case. It also appears that Quynh’s defense team is using the delay to try and seek a “default judgement” against Daniel Tran, meaning that if Daniel Tran does not appear in court, that the court would automatically rule in Quynh’s favor.
However FIA has learned that Daniel Tran is or has filed a SLAPP motion against Quynh. What this would do is put the burden of proof on Quynh to prove that Texas has jurisdiction over Daniel Tran to sue him.
Quynh is Running Out of Money
When FIA reviewed the financial records of the case, as of the end of July there was approximately $7,000.00 left in the trust fund. This was after nearly $85,000.00 was spent to get the case to this point. Now with the delay and more discovery to be obtained by Quynh’s legal team, it looks like the funds are running dry. We know that Quynh has been asking her followers to donate more money.
Who Actually Wins?
What once started out for justice for Tu, has turned into nothing more than a pissing match between Quynh and Daniel Tran. And from what we can tell, Quyhn’s subscriber count was unaffected by Daniel Tran’s videos. Seeking 1 million dollars in damages is laughable because according to YouTube’s own metrics Quynh only makes $13 – $254 dollars (USD) per month, and Minh Tu even less..
What Next?
Now we are in a waiting game. We will have to follow Daniel Tran’s response. We will post more details as they become available.
