He went out of his way to paint Quasi as a target and fucked himself over in the long run by doing so. In any sensible suit of this kind, you'd never include the site owner unless you have blatant, unambiguous evidence that they committed a crime against you. You just subpoena them for the IPs of the individuals you might actually have a case against and they'll have no reason not to hand them over. It's why folks who run sites like these regularly advise users to watch their own backs. Brinton's argument for naming Quasi as Doe 1 was pathetic and utterly contrived and they never managed to jump that hurdle in court.
It's clear from Apostlegate that Rick expected Quasi to bow out and was surprised to learn that our Mughal master had the funds to defend his rights for so long. He thought everyone here was a bum like him who could only dream of taking legal action using loaned money. He thought wrong and now he will have to pay his (legally determined not to be) abuser.
I don't know if this is a low IQ thing or something else broken in his brain, but he can only think in level 1. In poker terms they use it like this
Multiple Level Thinking | Levels Of Thought In Poker
'Multiple Level Thinking' is a concept that was brought forward by David Sklansky in his book 'NL Holdem Theory and Practice', and defines the different levels of thought that a poker player can occupy.

- Level 0: No thinking.
- Level 1: What do I have?
- Level 2: What do they have?
- Level 3: What do they think I have?
- Level 4: What do they think I think they have?
- Level 5: What do they think I think they think I have?
He was basically thinking at the level of 1. What evidence do I have. What is my leverage? He can't think past level 1 in any aspect of life.
He also has no ability for modal logic thinking. He can literally only use the current information he has. Modality is just the fancy way of saying possible worlds that could exist. You can use this to refer back to the levels of thinking. If he were holding pocket aces would he have slow bet, or been more aggressive. Given his position and play so far he would have done x etc.. Or wouldn't have done x. You're basically creating deductive arguments on the fly. Then using a reductio, or modus ponens.
If he had pocket aces , then given his position he would have 3x bet. He didn't didn't 3x bet, so he likely doesn't have pocket aces.
In the context of the lawsuit. He and/or Brinton didn't have the ability to say " if quasi did actually send everything he has" then how would he act?
