In a court filing, Meta VPs Nick Clegg and Nicola Mendelsohn, and Cristian Perrella (trust & safety director) have been "inadvertently" identified in court as the individuals accused of taking bribes from OnlyFans in a lawsuit filed by adult entertainers.

An attorney representing the OnlyFans parent company (Fenix Internet, LCC) and its owner (Leonid Radvinsky) filed a petition today to delete an "incorrectly filed document" containing "confidential information" that was "inadvertently unredacted."

Meta have responded saying the allegations "lack facts, merit, or anything that would make them plausible. The allegations are baseless."

This is in the lawsuit where OnlyFans are accused of getting their competitors blacklisted

Piggies love troughs. No surprise. He just got caught, that's all.

My overall objection to the EU was that having (paying for) as few politicians as possible is a generally desirable thing. That less of them means fewer opportunities from things to be corrupted and skimmed also follows.

People need to wake up to the fact there is no political party free of this.

Clegg has an air of sanctimony about him that I've always thought appeared suspicious. Can't say I would lose much sleep if any of these allegations proved to be true

How did you manage to get the EU into a conversation that had nothing to do with it. Obsessed much?

I'll give lots of zeroes but there'll be no plus one in front.

" less of them" nope, don't agree.

I don't really give a stuff about Clegg but agree that he's an opportunist. Aren't we all? But picking out a single person as an excuse for political change is what authoritarians rather than authoritative do.

Maybe, maybe not

But Clegg doesn’t seem to have many principles and his morals seem easily bought

Smells of BS. "inadvertent leak" to rubbish someone's standing in a court case...

If he did take one, I'd hope he spent it on fast cars, hookers and drugs. Sadly I suspect cardigans would be more likely.

Dave who 'found' his father-in-law a lucrative seat on a government trade mission to China so he could sell his windymills? No, say it ain't so.

As I've said, they're all bent, so the fewer we pay for, the better. It's not just the UK either - just look at Gerhard Schröder.
