Team Prenda Does Not Show Up In Court; Judge Is Not Amused

We'll have a more complete report soon from Ken "Popehat" White, who was in the courtroom for the Prenda hearing today and will be writing about it for us (and for his own site), but for the quick version of what happened, with a huge assist from both Adam Steinbaugh and White, is that the judge has not made a ruling yet, but he is not at all pleased, saying "the client has been running everything. I know who the client is." There was no direct admission of who owns AF Holdings (other than that it had been transferred to another holding company, LiveWire -- as Pietz pointed out in his chart), but nothing else directly came out in court, apparently, other than Judge Wright's claim that he knows what's going on. In fact, he noted that the shell companies are "not even shells." This does not bode well for Prenda.
