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.
