We'll have to see. I could certainly be wrong. But I doubt WP Engine has qualms about settling (given the right terms) and I imagine Mullenweg will start receiving big invoices for lawyers that tell him they aren't confident they'll win at trial. He may not have much of a choice.
But anything can happen. If 12 weeks passes and the suit is ongoing, then I'll be happy to admit I was wrong.
- that_guy_iain 2y agoThis won't be going to trial in 12 weeks. The discovery alone is going to be massive considering what has happened. I'm pretty sure Matt has been dropped by one law firm, he's also had the chef lawyer for Automattic accept a buyout which I think is fair to assume this drama is the reason. Automattic's current in house lawyer commented on here that lawyers can't control their clients. Which I think is fair to assume that Matt is ignoring legal advice. Matt already knows this lawsuit is going to cost millions. And he's pouring petrol on it.
- maxbond 2y agoI misspoke, I meant if the suit was ongoing. ETA (March 2025): My prediction was incorrect.
