The bandmates got a court to back their "side" twice. Tens of thousands went missing because Jello is a "bad bookkeeper". One time he stole/lost $76,000 that had been paid by their record company.
Jello has always had a bad reputation in the Bay Area punk community, i wouldnt give his side that much credit. It's fishy stuff and his blaming everything on the Levi's ad is a cute distraction. “They're punishing me for sticking to the principles of the band" is so rich.
Also, he still gets 100% of his royalties, far from nothing
I Disagree. They sued him for "falling to promote" DK's catalogue, what BS is that. Concerning the unpaid royalties, he had a credible explanation. Now he is the one not getting any cent for songs he wrote. With his label and all, I don't think he would have needed to steal a couple thousand dollar and ruined his band for that. Have you seen what DK are up to lately? Dk x Supreme = 100$ T-shirts, what the hell? Have you heard the story about the Brazil shows a couple of years back, when they didnt refund the fans after they cancelled shows? I'm not impressed.
Jello still gets 100% of his royalties, that was part of the final settlement
The Supreme thing is very gross, first I'm hearing about it. That's tasteless and the Brazil thing sounds scummy too
