  11. Ripps and his co-defendant have both expressed that they felt that my coverage of the case has been biased against them. After I replied to an email from him, Ripps agreed to an on-the-record interview.

  16. I spoke to Ryder Ripps, a defendant in the trademark lawsuit from Yuga Labs (Bored Apes) that I've been covering for quite some time now. He was recently ordered to pay $9 million — mostly in Yuga's attorney's fees — and is appealing the case.

  21. Yuga doesn't seem to buy that Ripps and Cahen can't afford the $120K, claiming that since the court order they've seen Cahen withdraw $30,000 from a crypto wallet he owns to an exchange, and drop $11,200 on an NFT.

  26. They've also asked the court to sanction both Ripps and his co-defendent Jeremy Cahen for not transferring $120,000 within two weeks, as stipulated. Counsel for Ripps and Cahen say the two are unable to pay, and that Yuga needs to obtain a writ of execution to enforce the judgment.

  31. Ripps claims he did this in order to "permanently ensure that [he] did not inadvertently engage in any activity on any cryptocurrency wallet that could be interpreted as violating the Court's earlier October 25, 2023 injunction."

  35. Yuga disputes his claims about what is "proportionate" or not, and disputes that attorneys' fees must be capped based on the monetary remedies.

    They also — in so many words — state that the case was so costly thanks to Ripps’ continued obstruction, and that perhaps he should have considered that before behaving so poorly he saddled himself with the bill.

  36. He also points out that the requested fees are almost five times the amount he's been ordered to pay in disgorgement & damages, and claims he does not have the means to pay such a huge sum.

  37. Yuga claims that fees and costs were actually $13.2 million, but that they're only asking for $7.9 million.

    Ripps argues this is still "grossly disproportionate", that Yuga made errors in its calculations, and that they charged for avoidable expenditures.

  38. He was also ordered to pay attorneys' fees because of his "obstructive and evasive" behavior and "disgraceful and slanderous statements" about Yuga, its founders, and its counsel.

  39. Background: Ripps created the "RR/BAYC" NFT project, which featured exact copies of the Bored Ape NFTs. He claimed this was protected artistic expression; the court disagreed and ordered him to forfeit $1.375 million in profits and pay $200,000 in damages.

  40. I predicted in my newsletter last week that Yuga Labs (Bored Apes company) and Ryder Ripps (loser of the trademark case) would have trouble agreeing on "reasonable attorneys' fees".

    Ripps says ~$455,000 would be reasonable.
    Yuga wants ~$7.9 million.
