Spanish writer Francisco de Quevedo said,
"He who gives up his honor to make a business ends up losing
both his honor and his business."
Hello and welcome to<i> Case Closed</i> .
It's very true.
Sadly, it's actually very common nowadays.
Let's see how this quote relates to today's first case.
Please bring out the litigants.
We made a deal. It was clear.
She can't say she didn't know.
I only did it because I was manipulated and used.
Good afternoon and welcome.
-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.
Guillermo, tell me why you're suing Lorena
and what you demand in order to settle this case.
I'm here to sue Lorena, my former business partner.
I'm suing her for $50,000.
We made a business deal
and she breached our confidentiality agreement.
She's also slandered me on social media.
I'm also demanding she post a public apology on social media.
I want her to apologize
for the damage she's done to my business.
Alright, please tell me everything that happened,
what was your line of business, what she did, etc.
Alright.
I own a company.
We promote products and services through social media.
We use Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter...
-All social media platforms. -That's right.
I was trying to find a way
to take the business to the next level.
That's when I got the idea of filming a reality show.
I don't know if you know this,
but Instagrammers, people with Instagram accounts,
they can earn up to $18,000 per picture
if it gets more than a million views.
It's a good deal.
That's where I want to take my company.
Nowadays, the Internet is making everyone a millionaire.
That's right.
I thought about my two friends, Lorena and Robert,
and decided we could film this reality show on social media.
I got them together so we could create content.
Meanwhile, I could also promote my products and my services.
I wanted to create controversial content,
because that's why people love social media.
It has to be interesting or business-related.
Or silly and stupid too.
That's not what you did.
Great, so what happened?
They started working on the videos.
It was doing really well.
We started getting more views.
The business grew gradually, because it was a new business.
However, after the first month, she fell for Robert.
Once they fell in love, the business grew even more.
We got even more views.
At that point, our content had an emotional hook
so it was interesting for people to watch.
They would post videos while they were on dates.
Actually, after they had sex for the first time,
she posted a video talking about it
and the video got 4 million views.
It really blew the business up.
I thought,
"We're taking this to the next level."
Sex sells.
Yes, he only cares about his business.
In any case, they had a fight and Lorena disappeared.
No one knew where she was.
No emails, calls or texts.
Lorena disappeared. We hadn't heard from her.
You didn't care where I was.
Wait a second.
Of course he cared, you were the main attraction.
Exactly.
Our business was at its peak.
She disappeared when the business was doing really well.
He's telling you part of the story.
You'll get your chance to explain the rest.
Everyone gets a chance to talk. Hold on.
Everyone knows
that the first year of any business is always the hardest.
We'd already gotten over that. We were doing very well.
However, things started cooling down.
People started calling,
asking me why we weren't uploading content.
They wanted to know what was going on.
I didn't know what was happening.
Then a friend of mine sent me a link through Facebook.
He said he was sending me the link,
because Lorena had posted a video herself
slandering me all over social media.
I gave the producers the video.
Let's take a look.
<i> Hi, guys.</i>
<i>This video is to tell all of you</i>
<i> that the relationship you've</i> <i> been following for a year</i>
<i> is a farce.</i>
<i> I wanted to tell all the girls</i> <i> out there </i>
<i> to never trust</i> <i> Guillermo Hernandez.</i>
<i>Don't trust him as a businessman</i>
<i> and don't trust him as a</i> <i> potential romantic partner.</i>
<i> He's a fraud, a liar</i> <i> and a bad person.</i>
<i> He played me and he could play</i> <i> any of you.</i>
<i>Don't trust Guillermo Hernandez.</i>
<i>Don't go into business with him.</i>
<i> Don't do anything with him.</i>
<i> He's not even</i> <i> a real businessman.</i>
<i> He's a fraud.</i>
You see? It's as if I were a bad person.
I'm sure this must've created chaos.
It's so they know the piece of s--- you are!
Excuse me!
I'm the man behind the scenes. I'm the business leader.
I create the content and I manage everything.
The business was doing really well and she did this.
Nothing bad had happened until then.
Things were running smoothly.
She and Robert got into a fight and...
Everyone was making money?
Yes, they were all being paid
and the business was making money.
Okay, so you're suing her for $50,000 in damages
because of this video.
Yes, and I also demand a public apology.
Right, $50,000 plus a public apology.
She already had a lot of followers on social media.
She had a big social media presence.
-Alright, I got it. -Thanks.
Lorena, how do you respond?
Ma'am, I'm not slandering this man.
All I said in that video was the truth.
I'm very hurt, because both him and his dear friend,
who I thought was the love of my life, lied to me.
No one lied to you.
They lied to me and played me big time.
How did they lie?
I gave the producers a video so you can see what they did to me
and why his friend and I had a huge argument.
His friend who was your boyfriend?
He was supposedly the love of my life, but it was a lie.
Alright, let's take a look.
-This is Robert? -Yes.
This was your romance?
-Can you see this? -Oh, please.
You see?
<i> Let me go!</i>
Ma'am, I still can't get over that.
I watch that video and I can still feel my legs shaking.
I don't think I can ever go into a pool ever again.
It was horrible.
I don't how to swim
and I'm horrified by everything that happened.
It was all a lie.
I don't know... I still feel like...
Wait, don't tell me how you're feeling.
What happened?
That was a day like any other.
We were used to filming and taking pictures
and uploading them on social media.
It was for the views and likes.
You knew that was part of it.
Shut up. I'm talking.
Suddenly, Robert left me alone in the pool
and then this man showed up.
I didn't know him. He was drowning me.
I felt sick and scared.
Then, all of a sudden, Robert showed up.
He saw how scared I was and he turned off the camera.
As soon as he turned off the camera, he started laughing.
I didn't understand what was so funny.
I thought he'd gone crazy
because he was making fun of what I'd just been through.
Turns out it was a macabre plan cooked up by this psycho.
Oh, please! Come on.
Oh, so they planned to have someone supposedly drown you
and they didn't tell you?
They didn't. I didn't know anything.
Oh, since you're not an actress,
they wanted your reaction to be genuine?
-That's right. -Yes.
However, I'm a good person so I let it slide.
Whatever, you'd done it before.
Shut up. You know it's the truth.
I told them that I didn't mind pranks,
but only as long as I knew and the three of us planned it.
Both him and Robert promised me...
Wait a second.
Both him and Robert promised me it wouldn't happen again.
Robert even said, "Babe, don't worry.
It won't happen again."
I trusted them.
However, a week hadn't gone by,
when I overheard them talking about pranking me again.
I was in awe.
You know what they were planning?
To put a snake in my bed while I slept
or a spider in my car.
Can you imagine?
What if I was driving? I could die.
We never did that.
I told them they were insane.
That they were taking things too far.
And that's why you left?
Yes, that's right.
And that's why you posted the video saying he's a fraud?
Yes, ma'am.
Since I was completely in love with Robert,
I decided to talk to him.
I suggested we opened our social media accounts
and controlled our content, because we're the stars.
He's just...
Wait!
He's a nobody! No one knows him.
I'm the one everyone knows on social media.
I'm the star.
Why didn't Robert join you?
Because he didn't want to.
No, ma'am.
He decided to leave
and that's when I found out it'd all been a lie.
He said he'd stay in the business with or without me.
Alright.
He chose him instead. I realized I'd been played.
Who has witnesses?
-I do. -I do.
There's also another video of her
partaking in one of these famous pranks.
These types of videos are filmed without the person's knowledge.
She played a prank on...
Wait, I get it.
As long as she knew about the prank, it was fine.
The problem's that she didn't know about the prank.
How could you?
Bring out the defendant's witness!
And they expect to become millionaires with this nonsense?
-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.
Your name?
-Jhon. -Jhon?
Jhon Jimenez.
Alright, and do you know the litigants?
Yes, ma'am.
I'm here because Guillermo hired me.
He paid me $200 to drown Lorena.
I'm the guy in the hoodie.
Oh, you're the one in the hoodie.
He called me and said he'd pay me $200 for a simple job.
He said I just had to pretend like I wanted to drown her
and that everyone knew and it was all planned out.
I had an idea of what was going to happen.
He just told me to get in and get out and they'd pay me.
I was okay with it. I did it.
Afterwards, I took my money and I went home.
About a month later,
I saw Lorena uploaded a video saying she almost died
and that she felt horrible.
I got in touch with her and told her
I was the one who'd done it.
I apologized because I never meant to hurt her.
He apologized. He's normal.
He knew.
I offered to help her because I thought everyone knew.
Alright.
Let's bring out the plaintiff's witness.
You knew it was part of the prank.
He knew about it, but she didn't!
You're a shameless bastard.
All you do is play with people's emotions!
Is this Robert?
They're two peas in a pod.
You're shameless too!
Why are you here?
I'm here to say two things.
She knew we faked absolutely everything.
She knew the relationship was fake
and that everything else was planned.
You're saying what's good for you!
So you never felt anything for her?
I was physically attracted to her, but that's it.
Secondly, she's the one who started posting
those pranks on the Internet.
-I actually brought a video. -What video?
The first video you made.
She did it and I let it slide.
Let's take a look.
<i>Guys, I'm going to prank Robert</i> <i> and I want you to see.</i>
<i> Stay tuned.</i> <i> You can't miss it.</i>
<i> Stay tuned.</i>
<i> Robert, can you come</i> <i> to the kitchen for a sec?</i>
<i> Coming.</i>
<i> What is it?</i>
-You do them too. -That's beside the point.
I got him!
Don't be upset. I'm just playing.
Smile for the camera.
She almost killed him and he didn't overreact.
That's silly.
You know people bleed a lot from here.
Anything else?
She has another witness? Bring out her second witness.
Good afternoon. Your name?
Isabela.
Alright, what have you come to testify?
I'm here to tell you these two guys are shameless bastards.
These two?
They're both manipulative.
They toyed with my emotions and with hers.
They'll probably do it again.
What emotions?
Toyed with your emotions?
Go ahead.
I work in an ice cream parlor.
About three months ago, he started coming a lot.
You know this is a business.
-I always thought he was cute. -Quiet.
I always thought he was cute but he never...
He might be cute on the outside but not on the inside.
He'd never even said hi to me.
Then one day he asked me out all of a sudden.
He invited me to his place.
I went to his place and everything was normal.
Then he said, "Let's do a video."
I thought it was normal.
Then he suggested we make a page as a couple.
I thought it was weird.
We hadn't been dating that long.
Why would we film a video as a couple?
That's when I looked him up on social media
and saw everything that had happened with Lorena.
That's when I realized I was their next victim.
Alright, great.
You brought this on yourselves. Now you have to suck it up.
Let's bring out Angel Leal
and social media expert Mr. Vicente Pimienta.
Why complain?
You brought this on yourselves.
You reap what you sow.
This is the world they live in.
Why do people insist on watching these idiotic things?
Ma'am, it's a phenomenon.
We call it a phenomenon.
Yes, years ago, if someone wanted to be famous,
they had to be on TV.
However, the Internet can make anyone famous.
Suddenly, people want to team up spontaneously.
They don't sign contract or anything
and it's nothing like a traditional business.
In an attempt to get views, they crossed a line
and took things so far that they almost killed her.
This has happened before. It's not the first time.
We have to be very careful with this trend.
We need to choose carefully the people we work with
and decide how far we'll go for internet traffic.
Alright.
Is what she did in her video defamation?
Yes, it is in terms of his business.
She made false claims, with malice,
with the intention of hurting him financially, which she did.
That's right.
That's my business. That's my means of income.
She depended on the income garnered from those videos
and so did Robert.
-I don't agree. -Why not?
-I was just defending myself. -No, you weren't.
You just sat there and went on and on about how mean he was
and you even posted his picture.
You're only intention was to damage his reputation.
Yes, but I was his colleague.
He shouldn't have done that to me.
Excuse me.
My ruling. I grant you $15,000.
I think $50,000 is way too much.
You didn't even show me how much you've lost or anything.
I'm granting you $15,000 so she'll learn her lesson
and you can keep your business.
It's final. Case closed!
