So that's now 2 talents that they've allegedly ghosted, if Lorelai's original claims are to be believed. Be interested to see if Ai gets the same treatment in the next couple days.

She's the only one who was silent about events iirc, and was less negative about them during her first stream after. So even if it happens she might not share it. Feels like she's the most sensible one so far. Not suprising since she manages merch shops, probably doesn't want to deal with drama.
Or they favored her for some reason and she got better treatment

Double posting due to possible small update. It seems the company may have ghosted Yuzu. I thought we were done with this. Doesn't this make the contract void, allowing them to share anything? E:To clarify, This is Miya

"Deal" might be unrelated to any contract or signed NDA. If I had to guess, Project F is going to simply renege on promises and hope that the existence of an NDA keeps the talents quiet. They haven't exactly shown great professionalism so far, and the agency itself is a lost cause.

Stabi got confirmation that Lorelai IP belongs to her, and got ok from asset owners. I'm really curious what their contract looks like now.

Yuzumiya's also telling us not to worry. Again.

Kisa/Ai's been silent about the matter, as usual. Very few things that could by any stretch of the imagination be considered vague posting as Kisa (this is coming from the bias of really loving and missing her PL, mind you), which relate only to the Kisa persona. Nothing that seems amiss as Ai.

Project "F them". I don't know what "face plastered everywhere"' supposed to mean. Have they not closed down?

Their Twitter and YouTube pages are still up and Miya's still on both. Maybe that's what she means?

With every new update, Lorelai keeps getting proven correct with the actions that she took.

FYI, YuzuMiya wants to be left alone in regards to this. Please respect her wishes.

I can see both sides of the story more or less. Anyone who speaks out against industry practices will likely be permanently blacklisted by any corporation whatsoever. I have heard enough to believe firmly that large corporations communicate with each other quite regularly about potential applicants and past experiences. This would logically extend downwards to any moderately-sized group like V&U, PC, Idol, etc. Being known as a whistleblower is a dangerous thing.

On the other side of the coin, nothing will ever get better if companies are not exposed for their bad practices and new vtubers are not given full, easy access to educational material that helps them make informed decisions.

TLDW of Rima & LorelaiLoch stream, MANY new wonderful details

I'm leaving aside overall shit communications, mismanagement, backpedaling on promises, less important lies (like claiming ot be ex-nijiID manager) and "Jason" being shittest person ever so it won't be too long and muddled.


> She was scouted by co-CEO, who was also moonlighting (allegedly, but highly probably) as Jason's girlfriend, who, at some point, dumped him and the project.
Oh boi, we will sooo return to it!

>CEO claimed that he can fund the agency with money from his other successful business.
Oh boi, we will sooo return to it! 2 electric boogalo

>She signed as LLC with joint ownership of IP. But CEO, being inept and cheap, never actually bought IP rights for the model, only perms for commercial use.
One of the rare cases where talent is actually contractor.

>She showed contract to lawyer, but he was a tard that didn't actually read the conract and had to refund her much more than 200$ under threat of litigation.
Note to talents: if all lawyer says is "it's ok you can sign" - this dumb fucker 100% never even tried to read it!

> There was no notary on the contract. Also she needed additional Her attempts to fix it, and other legal issues, were met with stalling and hostility.
No notary in itself can make many documents void even if contents are legit otherwise.

>She smelled the smoke and started to prepare her leave (at least partially) mere 2 weeks after joining!

>She got her model ~12 hours before debut, another girl got it like 40 minutes before stream!

>Talents of that wave did not recieve ANY PAYMENTS WHATSOEVER for all 5 months. Previous ones barely got some pocket change with huge delay. Lorelai even gave some of her own (disabled pension) money to another girl, so she could survive.

>Jason was very angry about his girlfriend running away, which was most likely main reason to his focus on bullying Lorelai.

> Lorelai had to ask her father (big successful businessman) for help, despite bad relationships. He hooked her with, and partly funded, specialist lawyers, both local and in Indonesia, which is essentially what allowed her to bail out the way she did.

> Before 'Project F', Jason tried to launch local ID vtuber agency, but it failed before anything real were done.
> Remember "other successful business"? Turns out, it was a fucking convicted fraud (of undisclosed nature) that he ran with some family members.
>Some woman from the family were sacrificed as scrapegoat in court, but he and his father were left unscathed. Which kinda implies that girlfriend/co-CEO purpose were most likely the same.
>Now Jason (if it's even his real name) and father are running another fraud, sometjing to do with car mechanics. They are very sloppy in covering their tracks.
>Apparently. the narcissist fucker full doxxed Lorelai on 4chan, calling to "SWAT this person". Thankfully, post was relatively quickly deleted.
>Somehow, he still convinced most or all other girls to sign NDAs in exchange to their models.

>If this piece of shit ever dared to stick his head out into vtibung again, or even worse - tried to go after the girls for any reason - Lorelai promised to sue him into oblivion.


I'm writing all this from memory, not gonna rewatch, so please correct me if i got anything imprecise or missed.
