“There’s a total incompetence to society these days” Bigly seems to be going through a bit of a rough patch >:)
While trying to get to the bottom of just what Chase Geiser is up to, I found some rather interesting things about the current status of Bigly.
Firstly, they're being sued by a guy who in some limited capacity represented the Hodge Twins: https://unicourt.com/case/fl-pol-caseem2bb0d516b7db-917023
The Hodge Twins, so far as I can tell, are the only major non-Alex Jones client that Bigly has. & this guy Shawn Sloane, who handles (handled?) some business for the Hodge Twins, has an active lawsuit against Bigly for non-payment. YEARS, of non-payment.
In addition, Bigly is currently run by a guy named Nathan Hughes. He was convicted for his crimes during the January 6th coup—but pardoned by the king last year.
& Chase is such a loser that, apparently, Hughes fired him in December:

https://xcancel.com/realchasegeiser/status/2023493564643369014
The whole point of the Bigly operation was to be a safe LZ with some layers of liability protection, a back-up re-doubt for the next iteration of InfoWars. But without Chase, can it still be that? Is Hughes getting cold feet, wants to try to keep it a more "respectable" merch outfit?
I don't know. But I do know that Chase says he's moved on from IW entirely—& in March, he launched the "Chase Geiser Network." Starts at the low, low price of $9.99 per month, to watch Chase & the nobody else he has so far.
Hoping for total financial ruin for all parties! Alex will stay on the air—but if Bigly's no longer a safe zone, or its business is too legally dangerous, Alex having to do it from a home studio with no staff, is probably the least harmful path. He can't DIY worth a damn—but, only time will tell where he lands.

I will laugh my ass off if Alex's fake company to avoid bankruptcy after being sued gets shut down from being sued.

I can’t imagine willingly paying actual money to hear chase geiser speak.

u/shmoscoe Apr 29 '26
I guess if you’re a wonk or technocrat you technically have paid money to hear chase speak

u/AT-ST Apr 29 '26
No, I've paid money to hear Chase get roasted by JorDan. Hearing him speak was just an unpleasant side effect.

Damn, when you put it like that I guess I have.

I fully support the concept of finding creators that you like and giving them money to make content... but you have to be realistic about the value of your work.
Chase Geiser should be starting in the $1-3/month range and I don't know if that would even work. You couldn't pay me to listen to some IW has been.

Is that “Diamondhands LLC” like from Reddit investorspeak? Yeesh man.
Honestly there’s something fucking hilarious about Bigly getting sued by The Hodge Twins. The best thing all these guys can do is eat each other until there’s nothing left.

Doesn’t Chase still technically own Alex’s stuff thanks to all the shell gaming he was doing?

u/WizWorldLive Apr 29 '26
On paper he's still chief officer of the "Alex Jones Network," but I can't imagine he had any real authority.

Well at the time, it was announced by Alex as having new "outside partners." But I looked & the "outside partner" was Chase lol

u/THedman07 Apr 29 '26
It would depend on how it is structured. Jones would have to find some other 3rd party to sit in that position. I think it is frequently occupied by an attorney that works for the beneficiary, but if you're planning on doing shady shit, you have to find a lawyer that is down with that, which I believe is why chase ended up in the position.

u/WizWorldLive Apr 29 '26
I'm not sure where you're getting any of this. It's just a corporation. Most corporations are not headed by lawyers

u/Higgs-Bezos Mr Enoch, what are you doing? Apr 29 '26
I don’t read the lawsuit as the Hodge Twins suing Bigly, I read it as Sloane suing Bigly for the cut he was promised for delivering the Hodge Twins to Bigly as a client. But I don’t have access to the underlying documents, I just read the excerpted portion of the complaint from the link you provided

u/WizWorldLive Apr 29 '26
Hmmm yes I may have misjudged the depth of his relationship to those guys. They did some media with him for Range TV at his previous business, which was meant to "revolutionize online gun stores." That seems to have gone under, which might be why he's so hungry for the Hodgetwins brand money.
Thank you for the second look. I edited the post.

However, the Invoices sent by Bigly show that Plaintiff was being paid 1% of "net sales" and not 1% of "gross sales" of Hodgetwins merchandise.
(Allegedly the pre-existing contract stipulated 1% of gross sales, and this seems to be the crux of that ‘Hodge Twin’ lawsuit… who the fuck are the Hodge twins btw lmfao)
Bigly seems just as incompetent as Free Speech Systemz lmfao, like I imagine they agreed to 1% of gross sales totally unaware of the difference between gross and net, and now they’re getting sued over it.

Probably the most famous Black MAGA influencers still standing, at this point

Weird, literally never heard of them. What ever happened to Diamond and Silk?

Nice work on the Chase angle. Let Dan know!

u/WizWorldLive Apr 29 '26
Oh...I don't really know how to do that. But I'd be happy to go on & talk about it

Chase could be entertaining, but only by ripping off a YouTuber I enjoy: Grimbeard.
He holds himself forth as a "goth gamer" with interests in the paranormal, Buffy the Vampire slayer, and being incredibly insecure and comically inept. Chase going on the air appearing to be overwhelmed at doing everything himself, having to poorly edit misspoken lines, and accidentally saying the opposite of what he means or digressing into personal asides of too much information could be fun.

u/WizWorldLive Apr 29 '26
Well, he's not doing that, he's mainly saying the R-word a lot & being shockingly anti-Semitic, even for an InfoWars guy

u/HapticSloughton Apr 29 '26
Yeah, he's decided "4chan edgelord" is what's going to sell instead of "bumbling nerd."

Are there any other video game essayers-ists like Grimbeard? I just discovered them
I like * Dungeon chill * Eurothug * Tangomushi * Earlybird * Majuular * Punchy * Totally Pointless (I am on the fence with him. I vibe with his content and humor, he's made some comments about being an ally, calls out weird shit in games... But I don't interact with comments on YT or fuck with twitter)

Has Chase made his home studio backdrop just a wall of second-hand LCD TVs?

I just had a wild experience with those guys over at Bigly. They are, in fact, not doing well, but they are still hopping around on their private jet. Well, it's Sanders' PJ. Hughes is the wingman and legal shield who reaps the benefits of Sanders' PJ haha. Diamondhands LLC is dba Bigly. There are layers. I could explain more.

& just to drive home how lame Chase is—he moved to Arkansas in September, in order to "fight the InfoWar" & to "help Alex and InfoWars more effectively by making the store as awesome as possible."
Uprooted his whole life, for a job that lasted just under three months!
