Messiness part II ver 2.0


People lets focus here Brent has said that he has made mistakes. He has also stated that he owns 30% of a company and he has no say in the day to day operation of it. Lee Bergeron is the majority shareholder in this company. He should take just as much responsibility in this whole mess as Sean and Grant.
We know Sean broke a contract and stated that he was under aged when he filmed his first scenes for Cobra Video. If Sean would have produced his birth certificate Bryan with his previous history would have most likely lost everything or even gone to jail.
The age issue now is really a moot point. If he were 21 then the original scenes he filmed for Cobra would be back on the market. I think it is real easy to figure that one out. Here is a cashed link to Cobra to trust Lee. They know this now. They were to busy trying to take care of the other legal issues facing them. And get their membership site open to bring in some revenue. It is now open for business but there have been no up dates to the site other than Brent's blog and no new content added. This is one of the major points of contention between the partners. The other one is that they have not been paid for their work. It is rumored that Lee is shopping the material that was filmed and trying to get a DVD and distribution deal and not share the profits with his “partners”. Sean and Grant have tried to begin discussions with Lee but he is ignoring their requests. As for the webmaster Jeremy he is the only one at the company who is apparently getting paid. He is paid by Lee and reports directly to him as well. As far as Sean and Jeremy not communicating it is because Sean feels that Jeremy does not have the skills required to make the site fit his vision. and looking at the site I would agree. So I hope this answers the web-site questions.

Now to touch on the question of why Sean and Grant continue on with LSG Media. If they leave they get nothing for their work. That would be a big win for Lee. He could sale the video of Sean and not have to pay them. Grant and Sean’s only recourse would be to sue LSG Media a company that really has no assets other than Brent Corrigan. Lee could sale the videos that have been filmed so far and pay the Cobra Estate and pocket the rest. I am of the opinion that this is exactly what Lee wants. He wants Sean and Grant to walk away from LSG. After he makes his money he will dissolve LSG Media and move on to his next scam. He has done it before and the sad thing is that it is legal because Sean and Grant trusted him.

How does Harlow fit in the picture? All he wanted to do was work with Brent Corrigan to help bring a higher profile to his new company. Boybatter is just really starting out and to have one of the most notorious twink porn-stars in one of their videos would be a great boost for their site. So Sean recommends him to Bryan. Just a nice gesture to help him out. Harlow also uses Sean to get back in good with Falcon Studios. The only problem is that Bryan gets murdered and Harlow’s picture is on Bryan’s hard-drive. It was most likely one of the last pictures downloaded by Bryan. Sean spoke to Bryan the morning that he was killed and they could have talked about Harlow then.
As far as a time line of who spoke to or had contact with Bryan the day he was killed we know Sean spoke to him that morning and Lee spoke to him that afternoon and Cad had a instant message conversation with him that day as well. All these times have been listed Sean around 9:00am PST. Lee at 3:00 PST and Cad at 5:00 est. so if you take in to account time differences Lee spoke to Bryan at 6:00 est. he was the last person to talk to Bryan. He is also the one who said that Bryan was expecting a model. I do not know where the name Drake came from but I am assuming that is just a police trick. There never was an e-mail with Drakes picture attached. Cad said it himself that Bryan was very discrete with new models. So I highly doubt he would e-mail a picture out to someone.

Now we will get back to Harlow. Harlow says he was with a client on the night in question yet the police have not questioned him or tried to establish if his alibi is credible. They got a search warrant and searched his home and they still have not even spoken with Harlow or Joe. This fact is very troubling to me as well as Harlow having no apparent motive to want Bryan dead. They have their own company, which is doing well and they have money so I doubt they are “hit-men” as some have stated but I could be wrong, but not likely. So that just does not fit. Bryan probably did have a model coming over and I bet it was some drugged out ex Cobra boys who wanted some money. I still have questions about the missing Maesrati. It has not been mentioned again in this case. You find that car and you find the killer. I can see the news headline now “Tweaked Out Twink Kills Gay Porn Producer”. Just another sad example of the affects of “Tina” on the gay community.

As far as the settlement goes during the negotiations there was a gag order in place on both parties and all documentation was to be sealed. The fact that we know so much about it is due to the fact that LSG Media’s attorney was trying to get released from the case for their lack of payment to his law firm. The general public was not intended to see those legal documents. The final agreement is sealed to protect the parties involved in the civil matter. Mainly Bryan who stood to loose the most if the information in those documents became public knowledge. The fact that it was stipulated in those documents that Sean was to make a public statement that Bryan did no know he was under-aged is quite telling.

The police have questioned all involved with the exception of Harlow. Because the police do not have any solid evidence connecting Harlow to the crime, just a picture and a assumption that he was the model mentioned. So that is where I stand on this case if you have any questions or anything to add please feel free to do so.
This is Elmysterio and Im out.

  1. No the age thing has not been resolved. It will be resolved when a neutral legal party examines a certified birth certificate.

    The settlement documents only prove that Cobra and LSG agree to continue to state that Brent C was undergaged for the time being.

    There are several benefits to this --- Brent C would save face and continue to perform for a few years. His fans would not be alienated. When he is ready to retire they can the announce that his early footage is now available and really make a profit.

  2. Elm, hold the boat for a second here.

    How can you honestly say, in one paragraph no less, that the age issue with Sean has been resolved? Are you saying that in one paragraph on your blog, you've cleared up something that's been a mystery for 18 months and without anything concrete for evidence, you can say that you know what really happened with the age issue? I agree that we can all have our ideas, thoughts and opinions about Sean and the age issue, I know I do, but it is nothing more than that. Just our own personal thoughts and opinions. Please don't try and pass those things off as facts that cannot be proven. Unless you have a certified copy of Sean's Birth Certificate in hand from the state of Iowa, then all of what you say about that subject is speculation and opinion, not fact.

    A LLC in the state of California requires "Articles of Organization" be presented to the Secretary of State, who then, in turns approves the formation of the LLC. According to California state records, LSG Media, LLC. was formed on 12-20-05, using the online legal resource site, www.legalzoom.com

    http://kepler.ss.ca.gov/corpdata/
    ShowLpllcAllList?QueryLpllcNumber=
    200535410102

    For whatever reason, they (Lee, Sean and Grant) used this online resource to setup their LLC, rather than a lawyer in person. Probably not the smartest idea on any of their parts. The letter of intent that Sean refers to is not something that is recognized by the California state corporations laws regarding LLC's.

    http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/
    calawquery?codesection=corp&codebody=&
    hits=20

    I've read through most of the subsections for that code and saw no mention of anything referred to as a LOI. That leads me to believe the LOI would mean nothing in court. So, without an Operational Agreement in place, who runs the company would fall back on the articles of organization and who was listed as the manager and who was listed as members. Presumably, Lee was named Manager and Sean and Grant, members. There are no "partners" in LLC's, only managers and members.

    In regards to Jeremy, I've seen nowhere that's it's mentioned that he is being paid by Lee. Again, yes, reading between the lines of Sean's blog posts I come to that conclusion as well but I think that should be pointed out that we're reading between the lines on this. You also say Jeremy takes directions from Lee but in Jeremy's response he says all Sean has to do is contact him, which he hasn't done since November of 2006, and tell him what he wants done to the site. You say Sean hasn't done that because he doesn't think Jeremy's the right person for the webmaster job. Problem with that is, Sean is asking us fans to go through Jeremy to get our message to Lee in hopes Lee will ask Jeremy to make changes/updates to the site. So, in essence, Sean still wants Jeremy to make the updates/changes, even though he won't ask him himself. My goodness, just how complicated can this get? Sorry Elm, but the web-site related questions are still not cleared up to me, not by a long shot.

    In regards to Harlow, you say, All he wanted to do was work with Brent Corrigan to help bring a higher profile to his new company. Boybatter is just really starting out and to have one of the most notorious twink porn-stars in one of their videos would be a great boost for their site. I agree that Harlow may have wanted to work with Sean and I think it was because of Sean's notoriety in the industry. I do not think it was because "boybatter" was just starting out. Because that's just not true. If you check the Way back machine, you'll see that boybatter.com has been active since at least March of 2005 as a paysite. Sean's site has been active since November 2005 but his paysite wasn't active till October 2006.

    You also say, "So Sean recommends him to Bryan. Just a nice gesture to help him out. Harlow also uses Sean to get back in good with Falcon Studios." Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't this info come from Jody Wheeler, who supposedly got the info from Sean? Harlow has never said any of this, did he?

    Elm, which news article states that Lee spoke with Bryan at 3:00 PST on the day he was murdered? I did a run through this AM on all the news articles I could track down when you mentioned that on Jason's site and I found no mention of Lee's name as the person who last spoke with Bryan. The only thing I found is that Atty. Yates stated to the Citizen's Voice that one of his clients, whom he declined to name, spoke with Bryan the day he was killed. In the same article Atty. Yates states, "It is my understanding that Bryan was to meet a model that evening." Cad confirmed that Bryan told him Sean had called earlier that day so it's possible Sean is who Atty. Yates is referring to.

    I agree with you, I don't think Harlow or Joe are hit men or had anything to do with Bryan's death. I could be wrong as well but it just doesn't add up. There's no known motive and for a crime like that, there must have been a motive for stabbing someone 28 times.

    I don't recall ever hearing about this "gag order" during the settlement negotiations. Bryan talked about the settlement negotiations to Cad and also to Zane, the model who shared his account on Jason's site of a meeting in January between Grant and Bryan. According to an E-mail Cad shared with us that Bryan sent him the day before the final settlement papers were to be signed by all parties, Bryan states that there was a confidentiality clause on the final settlement and that nothing further could be said after that but before then, to the best of my knowledge, there was no confidentiality clause in place and no gag order, other than any of the parties choosing on their own to keep things quiet.

    One final thing, you say, "The police have questioned all involved with the exception of Harlow." Actually I don't recall the police saying who they have spoken with during the investigation. Other than Cad saying he was contacted on Jan 26, and Harlow's attorneys saying the police haven't questioned him, no other names have been released as to who the police have or haven't questioned. They said they wanted to question Sean and Grant but we don't know for certain that they ever did.

    I don't mean to nit-pick Elm and please do correct me on anything I've gotten wrong but when I read your blog post, these things immediately stuck out at me and I wanted to point them out for discussion.

  3. mj Idaho not Iowa for Seans place of birth and yes the age issue for the people who "have seen" the i.d. and the birth certificate is SETTLED. Bryan & all the lawyers saw the Birth certificate and Bryan was allowed a copy as part of the Jan final settlement(2257). Bryan was requiring Brent to make a statement that he Lied about being OVER 18 in the original contract with Bryan in 2004(for BRYANS benefit). Brent was NOT RETRACTING his statement of AGE NOW (20) people keep confusing this. Bryan was not planning on releasing the original 3 videos because He had seen the BC he knew Brent was underage. cad knew this as well and has never made a DIRECT statement about what Bryan told him. (He came close then deleted it) mj there is a confidentiality clause that has been confirmed and already repeatedly violated (both sides Bryan to cad & Zane and Brent in the gaywired article "bringing up the age issue") mj please I am in WeHo, WE ALL KNOW all 3 LSG partners were interviewed 1st week of February by investigators, THEN ORDERED to SHUT UP! Please do you think they will say anything publicly! I cannot disagree with any thing I read in el's post it seems to be a very well done job of research.

  4. Thank you Howard, I do the best research that I can and some things I can't really dwell on because they are sensitive matters. I have no agenda here but the truth and try not to take sides. This is why I started my blog to try and keep a level playing field for all involved.I will admit there have been times when I was pissed of at those involved but I have tried to maintain my composure.

  5. Thanks for the state correction, Howard. My mistake.

    Howard, again, how do you know that Sean, Grant and Lee have been interviewed? Do you have direct personal confirmation of that fact from any of them or from the police? If so, please share. If not, than I don't see how you can say this as fact. Atty. Yates told the Citizen's Voice that Sean and co. would be seeking legal counsel before speaking to the police. If Harlow's attorney can prevent him from being interviewed by the police and he's a person of interest to the police, than it is entirely possible for Sean, Grant and Lee's attorney to do the same.

    Who confirmed the confidentiality clause for the settlement discussions prior to the final draft signing, Howard? And when?

    Again, Howard, how do you and Elmysterio know for certain that ANYONE has seen a certified copy of Sean's birth certificate. As you say yourself, there is a confidentiality clause on the final draft of the settlement papers so who's to say that part requiring a copy be turned over to attorneys wasn't deleted from the final draft?

    And how do you know what Bryan was or wasn't going to do and what Cad was or wasn't going to say?

    I'm being the devils advocate here, Howard. You are stating your assumptions as pure fact and that doesn't get us anywhere.

  6. As to the age issue. Many web-sites would not allow Brent Corrigan pictures or videos on there sites. The one thing you will notice if you see a picture with the tatoo he is of legal age if he has no tatoo he is under-age. That is the defining mark. No star kiddy porn, With a star twink porn. I know it's hard for a lot of you who watched his early stuff and choked the chicken to deal with but he was under-age. You spanked it while watching a kid get fucked. kinda sick huh.

  7. mj I understand but if I were to "prove" this to you (the birth cert)I would be betraying a confidence. As for the i.d. I actually saw the Drivers license. I asked to see it, beside I have been in contact with a friend in San Diego and he said Sean and Johnny at Donkey Punch are treated as underage while the over 21 performers are always getting drinks. So tell me how many 21 yo's at this point with Bryan dead would still forgo drinking (and we all know Brent loves to drink)to what prove a point? He cant get a drink anywhere the guy's in NY stated this because he IS 20! El tell mj the real reason the birth certificate won't be released, I can guess but maybe you know (and mj again its not age)

  8. Howard says, mj I understand but if I were to "prove" this to you (the birth cert)I would be betraying a confidence.

    Howard, I don't expect you to and I wouldn't want you to betray any sort of confidence to me. My point is that it is unproven to me and to nearly everyone else following this story and I don't see why I should take anyone's "word" on something as significant as this. I'm glad you understand where I'm coming from.

    As for the i.d. I actually saw the Drivers license.

    Was it a California issued license? And I assume you inspected it to be sure it wasn't a fake, right?

    I asked to see it, beside I have been in contact with a friend in San Diego and he said Sean and Johnny at Donkey Punch are treated as underage while the over 21 performers are always getting drinks. So tell me how many 21 yo's at this point with Bryan dead would still forgo drinking (and we all know Brent loves to drink)to what prove a point? He cant get a drink anywhere the guy's in NY stated this because he IS 20!

    Well, Howard, if that's what his driver's license, fake or not, says, than yes, he would be treated as underage, because that's what his license states.

    El tell mj the real reason the birth certificate won't be released, I can guess but maybe you know (and mj again its not age)

    Howard, now you've lost me. In your previous post you say the birth certificate was released to the attorney's and Bryan as part of the settlement and that they saw it but now you say there's a reason it won't be released. Which is it?

  9. There is a reason it will not be released to the public and I know the reason as well but I can not tell you. I have my reasons and that is as far as I will go with that. You can believe me or not at this point I know the truth and that is enough for me. I have shown you all the proof that I am willing to show you and anyone else who asks.

  10. ElMysterio, you really do your research. It is sad sometimes the amount of work we have to go through to get to the truth and then to have people deny it is just amazing. I want to make a fine point here and correct you on a small but important point. Brent did not lie to Cobra. Bryan always knew Brent was underage but that is a separate argument. Look at the words carefully.

    ElMysterio, says,
    Bryan knew Brent was under-aged that is why if you read the MOR he wanted Brent to make a public statement saying that he lied and that Bryan was not aware of his under-aged status. Bryan also wanted a certified copy of Brent’s birth certificate to comply with the 2257 ordinance.

    Now look carefully at the actual words of the MOU.
    From the Memorandum of Understanding… Page 1, numbered paragraph 3. Retraction Statement.
    “Within seventy-two (72) hours of the Settlement Date, Mr. Lockhart will issue a blanket retraction,… The foregoing retraction shall state that the parties have come to a mutually agreeable settlement and shall attest to the fact that Cobra was not aware that Mr. Lockhart had forged the identification that he provided to Cobra as well as any other personnal statements…..

    Brent can agree in an MOU to this because, Brent did not provide Cobra with identification that he had forged. Brent did not forge the identification and Brent did not provide the forged identification to Cobra. It is a hollow statement and does not resolve anything but a public perception, which is still wrong but apparently at that stage of the negotiations, it was something both parties could agree on. Remember this is just a working document at the half way point in the negotiations. Two more months will pass before they both finally agree to settle.

    Brent did not forge the identification. His adult boyfriend Chris did the forging. Brent did not provide the forged documents to Cobra. Chris did as an E-mail attachment. That was all Bryan needed or wanted for all of Brent’s underage filming.

    The birth certificate did not become a priority for Cobra until after Brent’s first lawyer made this into a public event. When that happened, Bryan realized he was exposed because he did not have the documentation he was required to have under 2257. He could not legaly sell ANY Brent Corrigan footage. He did so anyway. A federal crime. Don’t think that crime did not affect other people. It did.

    Is there any particular reason you waited until this very moment in time to reveal this to us, Elmysterio? Why not say this exact statement in your blog post? It would have saved a lot of time and debate Elm, for both of us.

  12. Albert, I posted a couple of questions on Jason's site in the "Brent Talks to Gay Wired" discussion in regards to your latest post and some inconsistencies I found. If you have a chance to answer those and clear those up for us, that would be a great help. Thanks Albert.

  13. I’m sorry MJ. I thought that showing the cached Cobra site and the reference to theMOR statement would be enough. I guess I was wrong.

    Thank you Albert for the correction. I was just paraphrasing when I wrote this and just trying to get the point across. I knew that Brent did not forge the documents. The story goes that Brent was sleep and his ex boyfriend put him on web cam and Bryan was impressed. So the boy friend who’s name escapes me right now forged the documents and told Brent that everybody does it. That’s how the whole mess started. Then he told Bryan that Brent was underage when Bryan would not use him again. Bryan tried to keep it under raps but like Albert said the first attorney blew it wide open. That’s when things got nasty.

  14. No worries Elm, now I know. I believe that you believe your information is completely solid in regards to this. I can see that in your words. I just hope your source for this information is a good one, Elm. A solid, reliable, verifiable source. We've all been exposed to so many rumors and half-truths these past two months, sometimes it's hard to know just whose information to trust.

    I guess we'll have to leave it at that.

  15. Oh, and by the way, I can think of only one reason, maybe two, that Sean's birth certificate would never be made public as you and Howard say it won't be. And, if either of those reasons turn out to be true, in all honesty, I can't say I'd be all that surprised.

  17. elm,

    noone is in charge at cobra after bryans death. as we figured out it takes 7 working days to get the birth certificate from idaho. we can assume bryan never saw it. do you think lawyers or the heirs go through cobra material and put it up? nothing is answered with that.

    the chris showed sean to bryan story is only telled by sean. we dont know whether its true. sean had to go himself to make the 2 shots.

    i dont understand what you wnat to say with the cached cobra site. but it is not a recent version. the star tattoo can be made at any time.

    why everyone expects lee to pay for everything? he can not sell lsg footage for his own purpose. his partners will get their appropriate share of the money too. but at least he tries to do any business, while sean is doing the opposite.

  18. Ab, what I’m trying to show is that Bryan did know that Sean was under-aged. The fact is he acknowledged it on the Cobra Web-site.

    Ab:No one is in charge at cobra after Bryan’s death.

    Elm: Ab that’s actually not true, As far as the cobra site goes someone is working on it because there have been changes to it on a regular basis. Some very subtle some more obvious.
    The link I have goes to the Yahoo way back Machine. I had some one else say that they did not see the cached site. You have to use Internet explorer and the Yahoo browser to see it. The yahoo browser has the site cached back to the beginning. Brent’s page on the site is the only one that has changed.

    Ab: The Chris showed Sean to Bryan story is only told by Sean. We don’t know whether it’s true. Sean had to go himself to make the 2 shots.

    Elm: As for as Sean’s old boy friend Chris’s involvement in all of this. You are right that is Sean’s story. But I have never seen or heard Chris deny any of it. This has been the story from the beginning and has not been denied by any of the parties involved. Yes Sean did go and film the scenes and if you check the video on my blog you will see the interview with Sean and Bryan.

    Ab: I don’t understand what you want to say with the cached Cobra site. But it is not a recent version. The star tattoo can be made at any time.

    Elm: Sean got the star tattoo for a specific reason, and he got it when he turned 18 years old. That is a marker to prove that anything with the tattoo is legal. If you look at the pictures on the cached site there is no star tattoo. Plain and simple they are not legal pictures of Sean. The scenes that he filmed at that time are no longer available as well.
    Ab: why everyone expects lee to pay for everything?

    Elm: I don’t expect Lee to pay for everything.

    Ab: he can not sell lsg footage for his own purpose.

    Elm:: Ab, actually he can, He is the majority shareholder in a company that has no organization. He can do what ever he wants.

    Ab: his partners will get their appropriate share of the money too.

    Elm: that is truly questionable, if Lee wants to he can share the profits. But as it stands he is not required by law.

    Ab: but at least he tries to do any business, while sean is doing the opposite.

    Elm: The only business that I see Lee trying to do is sellout. He is trying to find a buyer for the video scenes that were shot. He is also trying to find a distributor to for a DVD. Lee was the financial backing for them but he never paid Sean for the scenes he filmed or Grant for that matter. As far as Sean and Grant doing the opposite I can see their frustration in all of this and I guess if they could not get through to Lee with conventional means the they took it to the media. this would bring Lee’s shady tricks to the publics attention. I guess it worked.

    Elm, what "convential" ways do you feel Sean and Grant have tried to get through to Lee? I know Sean mentioned he tried phone, E-mail and verbally but it's not like Lee lives 3000 miles away in a remote cabin in Maine. They live in the same state and perhaps even in the same town. They are members in a LLC together. If Sean really wanted to speak with Lee, he could drive over to where he lives and speak with him. Who knows, may he did tried that too and Lee wouldn't speak with him. We just don't know. Point is, getting through to someone and making that someone do what you want them to do are two entirely different things. Whether or not we think it is fair, Lee is the manager of LSG Media, LLC, a company that has no Operating Agreement, thus the "rules" of the company fall to California State code governing LLC's and the articles of organization filed with the Secretary of State. If Lee wants to lock Sean out of the blog, he can do it. If he wants to stop content from being added, he can do it. That's his prerogative as the manager of the company. If Sean and/or Grant had a problem with what he was doing, they need to take it up with him and if he refuses to meet or talk with them, then they can bring in a mediator and a lawyer and go from there. That's what companies do when they are having a problem. Professional companies, I should say. Sean always talked as to how he wanted to change the porn industry for the better and raise the bar for the models and such, through his company. That talk led me to believe he was striving for "professionalism" in his company. I guess I was wrong.

    The "problems" between the three partners at LSG Media are deep set and I don't foresee them working out favorably for all anytime soon. As we learned from the MOU, there had been infighting between Lee, Grant and Sean for quite some time and it continues.

    I guess what I'm getting at is I don't understand Sean's motivation with going to the media and to his fans and making his plea for "us" to write E-mails and make Lee authorize changes to BCO, while at the same time badmouthing Lee about the way he's handled everything. Maybe he was desperate but if so, he must have known it would not turn out well and Lee would be less than pleased. As, apparently he was since he locked Sean out of the blog and made him edit his blog post twice. I think that Sean and Grant had big plans for the company, perhaps even unrealistic ones. Lee may have tried to bring them back down to reality and told them many of their ideas would simply not be possible. When Lee stood his ground as the manager of the company, Sean decided to air his problems to the public to get back at Lee. Now, this last bit is speculation and I'm saying it because I'm trying to figure out why Sean is doing what he's doing when it seems the cons far outweigh the pros of going public with this.

    I feel all three members of the LLC are to blame in this situation. Not just Lee and not just Sean and Grant but all of them. I do not like excuses or "poor me" talk. There's no place for that in the business world, at least, not if one intends to go anywhere with their business. Sean has stated he was aware of the need for an Operating Agreement for quite some time now but he was busy with shooting content and the cobra settlement. As I said in another comment, I'm sure that's all true but is the responsibility of he, Grant and Lee to get these drawn up. From what Sean says in the blog post discussing this, it's clear he was fully aware of the need for these documents to be in place. If one or more members of LSG didn't want to or wouldn't draw up these legal documents, for whatever reason, then there is little recourse for an upset Sean and Grant at this point. Getting fans all riled up over this will not accomplish anything and I can't see where anything the three of them are currently doing is being done for the betterment of the company. Unless there's some major changes in the near future, I see this as being a lose-lose situation for all involved, including fans.

  20. Well we appear to be on the same page. I agree that the partners should get together and try to fix this. It might be too late though. As I see it they have tried all other avenues and Lee is standing steadfast and won’t be moved to work out an amicable agreement with Sean and Grant. That is why they went public. I stated in my Blog and other treads that I thought that it was wrong for Sean to use his Fans in this. And I still feel that way about it. If Grant and Sean want to start their own company then they need to raise the capital themselves. It looks like they keep aligning themselves with the wrong people.

  21. elm,

    the last one who wanted to work together with them was harlow. they later blamed him for fucking it up and being on the run.

    where sean and grant appear there is chaos, a mess and problems. they might not responsible for all of this. just look at the background of bryan or lee. but at least they are to blame for making bad choices.

  22. I agree Ab they seem to have a cloud of trouble hanging over their heads. They keep aligning themselves with a very seedy element and it keeps pulling them down. What to do? I say call it a day get rid of Brent Corrigan and go with Sean Lockhart. They own the domain name to both but Sean Lockhart is free and clear of all the legal mess and they can do what they want to do. They can get their site up and running and move on from all this mess. Brent Corrigan appears to be a cursed name. I say shot a video with Harlow and Brent Everett and take that money and build your site up. Lsg media and Brent Corrigan can’t work with Brent Everett but Sean Lockhart can. Read the MOR it is stated right there.

    Paragraph 11
    The parties agree that with the exception of co-produced works described paragraph 8, LSG will not hire, employ, contract, solicit or release any video and /or images that include current Cobra Video models including xxxxx xxxxxxxx aka “Brent Everett” for a period of twenty (20) years from the Settlement Date.

    So if I am reading this correctly LSG Media can not work with Brent Everett.

  23. Brent Corrigan and or Sean Lockhart are still required to film 6 scenes for Cobra Video but that can be scenes already filmed by LSG. But here is the clincher Sean has to do those scenes but Lee is bound by the agreement as well. Lee can’t sell the videos to a distributor using the name Brent Corrigan. Only Cobra can do that as part of the settlement. He also can’t use the name Sean Lockhart to sell the video’s because Brent can sue him. I also wonder if Lee has a copy of Sean’s birth certificate or a signed release from Sean to use his image. These would be great playing cards for Sean if that were the case. Lee is just as stuck as Sean and Grant here. It looks like a good pissing fight is about to start. If they don’t get the six action scenes to the Cobra estate they are in violation of the settlement. Cobra can then shut down LSG Media and the video footage would then be worthless. Lee’s only recourse as I see it is to buy Cobra Video from the Kocis estate or at least get a majority share. I truly Harlow and Company buy it. Would that be cool or what.
    Paragraph 8
    Co-Production of Future Works

    The Parties agree that Cobra and LSG will co-produce three (3) “Cobra Video Presents: A Brent Corrigan Series” Digital Versatile Discs (DVD’s) (hereinafter “Co-Produced Works”). Each Co-produced work will include a total of six (6) scenes, with two (2) action scenes per Co-Produced Work including Mr. Lockhart. The parties further agree that Mr. Lockhart is to complete the total of six (6) action scenes within six (6) months after the Settlement Date. The remaining four (4) scenes for each Co-Produced Work will equally include LSG ands Cobra talent. Cobra and LSG will equally share production costs and administrative expenses associated with the production of the three (3) Co-Produced works. The Co-Produced Works shall be produced and released no later than two (2) years after the settlement date.
    The parties further agree that LSG and Cobra will sell the three (3) Co-Produced works from their respective web-sites and keep all profits derived from the sales from their respective sites. All profits gained from retail distribution, after distribution cost as described further below, will be split equally between Cobra and LSG. Cobra will be assigned all rights exclusively for VOD (video on demand) for the (3) Co-Produced Works (for example, but not limited to, AEBN).

  24. Elm, very good points. I think you're right. Independent of LSG, I don't see any reason that Sean could not work with Brent E. again, assuming Brent E. would be willing to do so. In truth, I wouldn't blame Brent E. for not wanting to, as with Sean's underage claims, the footage of the two from their previous collaboration is now considered child pornography. But wouldn't it be a big seller, if they did work together again? Oh yes, that would help raise funds for Sean and Grant to get started with their own company, if that's the route they choose to take.

    Also, as you mention, the terms of the Cobra settlement still do apply. But now I have a question. Do they only apply if the new owner chooses to enforce them? I mean, could the new owner just choose not to enforce the terms of the settlement, if that individual or company just wants to move on from the whole Brent C debacle of the past? Just wondering on that.

    It would be something else if, in the end, it's Harlow and co. who buy Cobra. That actually had never occurred to me before but they do seem to have the money and they like to draw attention to themselves and this would certainly be another way for them to do so. Also, something I think you've mentioned before Elm, is the possibility Harlow has some sort of obsession with Sean. Buy purchasing Cobra, Sean would be forced, as per the terms of the settlement, to work with Harlow in some sort of capacity. Very interesting...

  25. Elm, you glanced over that point fairly fast but it is so important I just won't to repeat it. Any company except Cobra that thinks about buying product from Lee Bergeron should think very carefully about it. If LSG does not conform to the settlement than the product Lee is selling becomes worthless. There could also be some issues regarding Brent not being paid for those scenes that would make ones with him in them doubly worthless. I am sure the other boys were good to very good but they are not Brent Corrigan and that is where the main value lies. The fact that he produced the rest of the scenes and did not get paid could make the rest of the scenes doubly worthless as well. I still have to wonder what desperate situation Lee got himself into that would have caused him to act in what appears to be a dead end and irrational way.
    Brent and Grant seem to have their hands tied.

  26. Another question: What about the other models LSG has filmed/photographed. Have they been paid by LSG for their work? Do we know? As of Sean's March 19th post, he says he's hosting a model from Rhode Island. I assume they're shooting content but I don't know that for certain. If they are shooting new content, is this model being paid for his work? I think that's a good question to be asking as well.

  27. mj yes all the other models were paid, Brent agreed not to be paid "upfront" so the max amount of money could be poured into the site. He was to be paid out of the income stream from the member site. that of course is why they just don't want to walk, again exactly what Lee is hoping to accomplish by instituting hostile working conditions.

  28. Well I’m back boys. Love the fact that you all are figuring this whole thing out. I’m so proud.
    Howard is correct the other models have been paid. Lee paid them for their services. Howard you are also correct about Sean deferring payment. He was to be paid from proceeds from the pay-site. Lee has not paid them and as you also said Howard he is trying to get Sean and Grant to walk away from it. But with out Brent Corrigan the site is worthless. Brent/Sean is the star of that web-site and Lee is a fool if he does not believe that.
    MJ, that is a good question who is paying the new model? Is it Sean and Grant or is it Lee. As for Brent Everett working with Brent Corrigan nope won’t happen. But it is a good possibility he would work with Sean Lockhart. They could put the video on Brent E’s web-site and Sean’s web-site and sell the DVD’s from both sites. It would be a win-win situation for both of them. And Lee would be screwed.
    Albert thanks for confirming my thoughts on that issue. When I read that paragraph I thought to my self that Lee is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
    It would be a huge slap in the face if Harlow and company bought Cobra Video. Then they would have Brent Corrigan and they could possibly get Brent E as well. All they would need was Mason Wyler and it could possibly be the hottest video of the decade. I will call it “Snake Batter Boys”.

  30. Oh I love this positive daydreaming. It would be so much fun to see Brent team up with some other solid, intelligent 'gifted' actors that control their own destiny. It kinda seems to fit in to Brent's concept of changing the porn industry for the better. Get the old perverts with the camera out of the picture making process. DeWayne and I have a young couple we support that would be great in the mix. Austin Parker and Jessie Jacobs. Very bright guys.
    It has taken two months for this subject to show any sign of a positive. We may be just dreaming but it is such a relief. Thanks for the dream and hope ElMysterio.
    Love from Texas, Albert

  31. You forgot about Harlow; he would be the Batter. They all have a serious degree of hotness and that video would burn up the screen. All we need now is a scenario. Hum lets see I see 3 guys on a road trip Brent C, Brent E and Mason W their van breaks down just out side of a small desert hick town. Its 95 degrees in the shade and the boys draw straws to see who will walk the 5 miles to town. Mason draws the short straw. Brent E and Brent C wait in the car while Mason W walks to town. This hot guy (Harlow) who is driving to town soon picks up Mason. Scene 1 the Brent’s do a flip-flop in the back of their van. Scene 2 Mason and hot guy (Harlow) go to the local Garage where Joe the mechanic works and they have a steamy hot 3way where they all take turns being in the middle of a daisy chain. Joe takes mason back to the van and tows it back into town and drops the boys of a the local Hoe-tel which Harlow is staying at. Scene 3 Brent goes to the pool for a late night swim. Harlow is watching him from his room, he walks out to the pool to take a swim too. After some horseplay the boys decide to go back to Harlow’s room and a fuck-fest ensues. Another hot flip flop. Meanwhile due to the heat Mason is lying there nude in bed as is Brent E. Mason is sleep with a raging hard-on and Brent is staring at his body in the moonlit room. Brent can’t take it anymore and starts to stroke masons hard cock. Mason wakes up and kisses Brent E and we have another hot scene. The next morning Brent C and Harlow go back to the boy’s room and find Brent E and Mason going at it again. They join in and we have a fourgy. Before all this is over Joe returns with the boy’s van only to find them all in a twisted and tangled mess on the floor. He comes in the room to join them in a daisy chain fuck where every body gives it up and everybody gets fucked at the end Joe becomes the cum rag. How’s that for a plot.
