WRT the Glamour Dolls fiasco, I'm on GDI's side there and I hope their remaining lawsuits prove successful. That contract read as fishy to me from the moment LFI specified wanting 15% of NET profits past their guaranteed $100k deposit. Net is easy to hide on paper. That was a red flag that LFI wasn't confident that they could earn  more than $100k from one phase of the license, and/or that LFI was either uncertain of or unwilling to deliver on their end of the deal.

When they quintupled the payment scheme for an extension of the license without delivering on approval for the KS designs, my immediate sense as a licensee would have been that it was an extortion racket. I find it hard to believe that the original contract language doesn't cover that to some degree, provided that GDI had competent representation, and I suspect that that's why the suit alleging fraud on LFI's part is moving forward.

At minimum, I hope LFI finds themselves in a position where they at least have to settle with GDI for what they lost on those two contracts. But that will likely come down to who has deeper pockets for legal representation.
