 Hi everybody Coco here. I am going to humor us all with a legal breakdown, a little bit of an analysis of the David Taylor, the JMMI, Joshua Media Ministries International, the legal issues that are going on, what started it all, and what's going on with that church currently as far as I know of the 25th of February 2021. I did review the docket again today, but that's a little bit down this path that I've never done before, this type of analysis here on YouTube, so bear with me. So we'll start with the deposition that everybody knows, and if you haven't, you probably won't be here. So in 2014, David was a witness in a case, and crazily it was a divorce proceeding, and the husband was brought in action and said, essentially, I'm not paying my wife any more money, because she's giving it all to JMMI, this church, and I'm also, I want to limit her custody rights with our children because she's bringing him, she's bringing our kids to this church, and the husband, Richard, didn't agree with what was going on, what the kids were saying about this church, and all the money that Deborah, his ex-wife, was spending on this church. So David, in this infamous now video from 2014, is a witness in this case because essentially what the husband is trying to prove through this deposition is that JMMI and David Taylor are frauds, and that they're using the money that is raised through this church on personal uses for the ministers, and in this deposition, many, many frivolous, dare I say, items are outlined how ministry money is being used. Versace, Louis Vuitton, BMW, Rolls-Royce, it's outlandish, and I'm not saying that there aren't other ministers that also really use church funds to do the same kind of thing, but what bothered me my background is that David lied through the entire deposition. He is the president, the CEO of JMMI, but was unable to answer very basic things about an organization, a church that he started. He's preaching the word of God, and not only with my legal background, but with my faith, this really upset me. If you can't tell me who's on your board of directors as a president and the CEO of a multi-million dollar organization, you have no business acting in that capacity, period. He couldn't name board members. He couldn't, you've watched it, you've laughed at it. I've been offended by it. So he wasn't, that wasn't a criminal proceeding. The lady who kicked ass, by the way, that attorney, she is a litigator and props to her because she did not back down from the very start. Strong, wonderful, smart woman. So she's not a prosecutor. She is a civil attorney, a family attorney who is merely trying to show that all these funds that her client Richard is giving to his ex-wife are being used on Louis Vuitton, on making a stretch limousine. All these crazy things. And not only that, the things that David's saying, he's, you know, his visitations from God and how many times that he's seen the Lord in person. Those are why she's asking all these questions is to show that he, and God bless him. I do pray for him. I think he said some really mean things. I think that a lot of people that are currently in his church, which if you haven't heard that has changed. And we'll get into that once we get into the Lewis case. The people that are currently involved in his church are so drunk on the Kool-Aid. And I really do feel bad and so many of them don't even understand what's happening. And we're here if any of those people need help, but that's a whole different thing too. And if you need anything jam in my cult watch, Richard Bedsick Hobo, there are a lot of people out there that are non-judgmental, really centered and are more than happy to talk to you about that. But I'm not here for that. I'm more here from for the legal perspective to break down some of the questions that I continue to receive. And I'm happy to field, but hopefully that that kind of clears up what that deposition is. It had nothing. And even though his taxes were brought up and all of those things, they weren't being asked as her being able to charge him criminally. Those were just ways to show the judge, judge. This guy's batshit crazy. And I don't want my wife bringing my kids to any more services. And I'm not paying her another flip and dime because it's going to this guy. So there were multiple parts of that deposition. It started in November 2014. It went on into January 2015. It's a dumpster fire. But it's good, but it's funny. Fast forward. One of the things that you know about is the residential center. Now, the residential center was owned by a gentleman named, we'll just say the last names, Lewis. And David and Jam and my ultimately ended up walking away from the residential center. I'm not sure why they abandoned it or they, they ultimately were evicted from it because they weren't paying. It was a contract for deed. And generally you're doing a contract for deed if you don't have conventional financing and you can't generally get conventional financing. If you don't have the credit score or the credit history. So they're buying. So Jam and my and David Taylor are buying this residential center on a contract for deed from Lewis. They're not paying. He evicts them. And then he brings a lawsuit in civil court. It has nothing to do with the divorce proceeding. Totally separate parties. Excuse me. And he brings so Lewis brings a case to say, Jackass, you owe me a bunch of money. You didn't not only you didn't pay for when you stayed there. You also said you're going to buy it and you didn't. So there are multiple causes of action in a civil lawsuit and that one. So this one primarily has to do with breach of contract. There are some fraud allegations. That one is pending in St. Louis County in Missouri. That case started in 2018, May 2018. And now stop and think about that. We're almost three years out from when Lewis started this case. Based on my experience, Lewis has spent way too much money trying to go after essentially it's David Taylor for all this money. We'll get we'll get into the end of what I what I foresee happening at the end of this case. But it started in May 2018. There was a lot of floundering. David was not. He wasn't appearing for depositions. He wasn't producing records just like if you remember in the in the first case from 2014, David wasn't producing all these documents. And in a civil case, you have to produce those. It's how you resolve a case when you don't produce those. Then the parties can go before the judge and say, judge, we have a right to these documents. You have to bring a motion to compel and the judge will look at your request and say, OK, that's reasonable. That has to do with this case or you're on a fishing expedition that has nothing to do with your claims. You're not entitled to that. Well, that's what was happening with JMI in this Lewis case that started three years ago. If I had to guess, I bet Lewis has spent easily 60 to 80,000 in attorney's fees. Right. So David's dodging subpoenas. He's not answering discovery. It's called discovery. You exchange information information to resolve the case through written questions back and forth. You have to produce documents. I have to produce documents. And when David and JMI when they weren't doing it and just to back up, the only two defendants in this case are JMI and David E. Taylor. Michelle is not a defendant. This is not a criminal case. Michelle is merely the agent of record, which means that she accepts service on behalf of David, which if you have questions about that. And there's intricacies here and there's all these little don't get hung up in that. Only David, only JMI are the defendants in this case. So as David dances around and isn't producing documents, ultimately they're ordered. You have to produce this stuff. You don't produce this stuff. You can be held in contempt. If you want to know about contempt proceedings, what can happen to people? I actually had somebody thrown into jail once in a civil case. I shit you not. Tony Leung in St. Paul, Minnesota, because a defendant in a case wasn't producing documents for me. And not for me, but for a client. We were entitled to them. You can be found and contempt in a civil case. Civil anyway, contempt, it's real. So he was compelled to bring or he was compelled to produce all this stuff. That motion was just granted in December of 2020. Now that that happened. Plaintiff, who is Lewis, the residential center owner. I know this is complex, but for those of you who are keeping up, I love it. All right. Lewis, who owned the residential center, he brought a motion and from the docket, the Missouri docket, you can't tell what kind of motion it was at this point. And the judge looks at it and he essentially says, you're not getting a hearing date. I'm sick of this bullshit. And he ordered. So this was the plaintiff requested Lewis requested a hearing date on the 24th of. So yesterday, the day before and the judge said, Nope, you're not getting a hearing date. I'm bringing all you suckers in. And I want to talk to you guys because what the fuck is going on, right? So he's bringing everybody in. I believe it's March 10th or 12th. It doesn't really matter. But so that's what's going on currently with the civil case and the residential center. Now, Jam and my recently changed their name. I don't even freaking know what it is. I keep saying KFC. But regardless of what it is, they recently changed the name of the church. Now, how that affects this procedurally, legally in this case is if you're a defendant in a case and you're a corporation, essentially what a corporation and LLC anything is that shields you personally from liability. That's why you create a company. Okay. So if you get sued or whatever, you can't come and take my personal house. You can go after my business assets, but you can't go after me personally. How that applies here is they folded Jam and my, which means a defendant in this case is now essentially gone. And so now Lewis, the residential center owner is going to have to go after David personally to recover this money. And remember, David's like, Oh, I don't make any money. I make $30,000, $33,000, whatever asinine amount he claims to make a year. And why it complicates this case for Lewis is what Lewis would have to do to actually recover money against Jam and my now is he would have to prove that this new church, I call it KFC, that KFC is merely a shadow of Jam and my and in order to do that, it's like discovery. All of that starts again. And it took three years to get even here. So he has to he has to prove to the judge. Jam and my didn't fold. They just changed their name. And you guys, it may seem like you just say that to the judge. It doesn't work like that. It is complicated and contorted and crazy. And I actually like that stuff. That's my kind of but it's a it's a waste of money and it's a waste of time. So my theory on part of the reason why he David shuttered Jam and my is to not only shed whatever is going on with Lewis, but also any other outstanding financial obligations that that church may have had. Ultimately, even if Lewis gets a judgment in this case, a judgment is like, let's say it goes to a jury and the jury's like, David, you got to pay Lewis $2 million. Great. You got a judgment. Now what, you know what, you guys, they have to start all over again. And it's a collections process. And you know what you have to do? You have to start financial discovery all over again. Can you believe it? So they start another action to try to find where all the money is when the judgment is entered. Yeah, it's not like once you get a judgment, he has to write out a check or start counting out once before he leaves the courthouse. You've got a piece of paper and then you have to go and force it. You have to find assets and then you have not only do you have to locate them, guys, then you have to move on them. You have to move on bank accounts. You have to move on vehicles. It is highly technical and it is, I mean, it's the Wild West. So my prediction, my prediction, unless Lewis has a lot of time to waste and even more money, he's going to drop the case because David, he doesn't play by the rules. And that's what pissed me off in the very beginning is that David doesn't respect the legal system. Not only that, he doesn't respect the Lord and he certainly doesn't respect other people. And that's how I got interested in these cases. And keep in mind, we all make mistakes. I have been a giant fuck up in many ways in my life. Swearing on this video is one small but still pray for him. And you guys, I really hope everybody's doing good. We're almost through this pandemic. If you need anything, if you have any questions, shout out. But most importantly, stay safe, stay healthy. Be good. And I'll talk to you guys soon.
