The last two sentences of that Order are what are going to be the worst for him. Not the attorney's fees, not the $340k unpaid bill, not the injunction against using Facebook. When a judge, in a CIVIL complaint order, says that, it's going to be followed up with by the Justice Department, which means this case is about to go from just being a civil one, to one with criminal penalties.

inb4 the criminal case starts, and/or this thread reaches 5k posts..

A lot of x-factors at play here, few help Gru. This isn't county court, so clean record/first-time offender not meaning much to a federal prosecutor who's driven by body count. Count on low-powered representation to thwart US prosecution much the way a picket fence would an elephant. Years instead as opposed to months?

Federal prosecutors are not known for laxity, failure, or mercy.

Any word on his girlfriend? Just curious, is all. She was hot.

dem early lulz.

"Let me give you some insight from the opposite side.

I'm a man, and I also fucked up in my last relationship. I was together with the girl for 9 years, a wonderful person.

Eight years into the relationship, I made a few mistakes. When she had to travel to see her family in a different state, I decided to "live" it up a bit. Keep in mind that I am almost 23 years old.

Well I ended up going to the clubs nearby, dancing with multiple girls and having a good bit of fun. I never told her about any of it. To add to it, couple days later I had a trip planned to Atlantic City, I was supposed to take my college friends with me, but they dropped out last moment. I ended up taking a female friend with me that had feelings towards me, and someone that my girlfriend despised due to this. Again, I lied to my GF and told her I went with my friends.

Well the day she comes back from her trip, we do our thing and I fall asleep. When I wake up from my nap, I notice she is staring daggers at me and is holding my phone in her hands. Now, here is where I went horribly wrong. I had a skype group with a bunch of my college friends, were we spoke about the club, and about Atlantic City. Now keep in mind, in such conversations, guys will say the stupidest shit possible, and I'm not immune to that as well. So this was the absolute worse way for her to find out. Anyhow, I got up, washed my face and spent a few minutes in the bathroom trying to explain myself. I came out, admitted to everything that I did, made it clear to her that I did not make out with anyone and didn't have sex with anyone at all. (This was the god honest truth).

Well after a few days things seemed to have calmed down. I did give her access to everything of mine just like your husband suggested. She had GPS on my phone, can see my texts/pics at any time, she had access to my bank accounts, credit card statements, skype and email. Everything. I was fine with this, I fucked up and I knew I had to earn her trust.

Three months later she heads out to a trip again. What do I do? Well I am out with a friend getting some food when he mentions a strip club joint that opened up. What do I fucking do? I agree to go. To make matters worse, I got somewhere between 25-30 dances from the same girl. But nothing more, just the dance. Well a week after my GF comes back from vacation, she goes through my CC statements, and sees a $1.2k charge (lap dances + drinks) to some entertainment company. Googles the address, and it resolves to a strip club. Bam, I fucked up again.

Again we argue, and again I realize how fucking stupid and inconsiderate I am. I make all then promises that I could make that I will never do this again.

We continue to work through the issues and I am as clean as a whistle for the next seven months. Every few weeks we would revisit those past mistakes I did, and I would have to comfort her again so things could be fine. Well, at the end of the 8th month, she pulls the trigger and breaks up with me. We are now done.

I know I could be downvoted for being inconsiderate and an asshole to my girlfriend, and I know I was extremely selfish. The only silverlining I can take away is that I never did kiss anyone else, inappropriately touched or had sex with anyone else. I did stay loyal to her in that respect, but I know I violated her trust badly.

She tried to work through it, she had full access to all my communications and location but that never gave her the right peace of mind. I honestly did change for the better, and swore to myself that I will never hurt her in such a way anymore. But that didn't matter at that point, trust was everything to her.

Keep this in mind when you make your decision. Your husband violated your trust even moreso than I did with my GF, your husband very likely had sex with escorts on several occasions. If you feel you are able to forgive him, just know that it can keep eating at you for much longer, the same way it ate at my girlfriend.

Lastly, I fucking love my ex-girlfriend. The clubs, AC, the strippers was not worth the love I received from my girlfriend. I regret it all, and I hope that your husband realizes that right this moment and changes his ways for you."

I think we know what happened at the end of the 8th month.
 
^^^Man what an entertaining post. Grunin has some horrible friends too. Even with Gru's own romantic relationship he is extremely impulsive and doesn't think of the consequences of his actions.

The fact that a US attorney is going to be alerted in order to launch a federal criminal investigation is excellent news. As expected, Grunin's handling of the lawsuit totally blew up in his face.

Grunin won't have to worry about women where he's going. He will have people sticking in their dirty bird though!

What a come-cry-on-my-available-shoulders sandbaggin' rat this guy is.

(btw, upvoted on Reddit - let's show some support and get him into positive territory.)
 

Man, you gotta know when to say no.

Facebook's lawyers—Perkins Coie's Judith Jennison and Joseph Cutler—claimed in the complaint that the company had fired off numerous cease-and-desist letters to Grunin and disabled at least 70 of his accounts since 2011.
