Lucas Mirtl Tells All! "Fighting For My Life" Lucas Tells His Story In His Words!

[@tracyprill578]

Excellent video and I’m personally so glad you gave him a platform to speak his side, his truth which seems to be more truth than what’s been put out. Total respect bro. Well done.

[@SteveRusso]

Something isn't right, if mirtle says the way he dealt with the "wasserman" account money, was perfectly fine because it's not the athletes money, then why would Wasserman fire him, and open themselves up for a court battle from mirtle for unfair dismissal??? Clearly Wasserman were so confident of mirtles wrong doing (allegedly) that they fealt firing him was completely justifiable! Or they could have just pulled him from their account and swapped agents around, there's more to this than he's admitting to.

[@codystyles3077]

Yeah, to simplify what I hear here, Mirt did these alleged things, justifies it by saying it's the norm and were "loans" he had to "reconcile". Most importantly didn't expect the Lawrence's to cut him off like someone would a family member for stealing and lying to cover an unfortunate addiction. That's the feel it has. There is family and then there is "like family"

Ya he said for the trucks. So I'm guessing they fronted for other stuff including employees and all other props used. But that's just how I'd interpret that.

No, Hunter said they "spent" on it. Which is exactly what Lucas said, he fronted the money and the Lawrences had to pay it off and then they would then own it.

[@dustinsmith4068]

I’m no gynecologist but I would bet some money that paying for personal expenses from a business account to which you are an agent, not ultimately the owner, is not a best practice minimum. I also bet his practice of doing so is not as common as he insinuates, and an agreement that him doing so was “ok,” was not in writing, if the agreement ever even occurred. He put this out for the court of public opinion and I listened to the whole thing. I hope he keeps his family together and that I am wrong but this guy is likely in a lot of legitimate trouble.

36min mark admits fault to loaning out from the said account for hood divorce, I don’t think whole heartedly he thought he was doing anything wrong but being in the situation he’s in he was trying to get himself through while everything’s frozen, But to the law that account is still a business account that was attached to the Lawrence’s as an entity. As they stated he spent out of the account for personal reasons and…. by what he’s saying alone the spending got out of hand and he’s annoyed that no one pulled it up while he was vulnerable going through the divorce.

This isn’t a judgment on anyone as we are all bound to some degree to similar desires and temptations and the consequences they may have.

[@flooded3456]

When you are given a company CC, for company business, travel, food lodging etc, you are held accountable for only using that CC for those expenses. It's similar with a checking acct, cash or however you receive up front funds. The legal issue is he did indeed misuse other funds, ultimately not his. Thats factual by his own admission in this interview. This is why his attorneys would advise against him doing this show. But the Wasserman issue is they didn't have a set protocol of procedures for spending in place in this LLC account. But Mirtl's basis is he assumed he could do this. Wasserman's claim is he shouldn't do this. But with no procedural guidelines its now a legal interpretation in court, that will not favor Mirtl. Unfortunate, but if there's no restrictions given, it still must be asked for permission. Final thought is Lucas is fighting the battle of, "what's ethical" which I fully understand. But in business it's never ethical, it's legal and a lot of legal things are unethical.

[@Justin-be5gy]

[@martinmeza3588]

🙋. Okay so say he’s telling the truth. And the account he used it was nobody’s to control. And he took money out and put his own money back in, because according to Mirtl it was his own money. Typically agents have business accounts, that keep track of all expenses, why didn’t he use that? Why get yourself in this situation by using an account that’s associated to the Lawrence’s. By this logic it does make you a very dumb agent!. That’s like a lawyer using a client’s retainer money, for his own expenses. And then putting it back with your own money. That’s why it goes into an account that lawyers keep track of in case a client tries to sue them. So at the end of the day, you can throw the blame to anyone and everyone, but Lucas put himself in that situation.

A good friend tell him its ok gave him a warm feeling is sadly not going to stand legally but i dont believe that he morally tried to commit a crime ... the legal system does not run off emotions just facts BUT HIS HATE AND NEVER FORGIVENESS COULD LEAD HIM TO CONTIPLATE SUICIDE I PRAY (THE HARD NOSE LEGACY CLINGING) at this point should transfer to NOT GUILTY and move on for your childs sake 🙏 Godbless this man

[@dudesweet4151]

DAMN DUDE! 😢

[@Grumpy_Stiltskin]

Glad you gave him the opportunity to defend himself. The one-sided way he's been dragged through the mud looks very suspicious to me. Hope he comes out ok.

[@gibso9395]

This interview prooves nothing, Cooksey is in denial trying soo hard to back up his own delusions, and it just keeps getting worse, he should let it go before he keeps buring what's left of his so-called credibility.

[@CookseyMedia]

Did you even watch?

[@gibso9395]

Of course I did! I hadn't seen a more bias interviewer in my life.😅 I can go on and on, highlighting everytime he basically admits doing things wrong. There's no conspiracy here, no coombs or FELD involvement, You have no proof what so ever, it's just business getting handled, and this is clearly all way above You.

[@travishicks4883]

Even in the shit storm that is going on he refused to talk bad about the Lawrence’s. Atleast one party is loyal to “family”

[@bensconcretecreations]

If you don't think this dude is on some sh!t you're nieve. Why would Hayes, the closest person to him, not mention anything about it if he knew? Because he knows he's guilty.

[@JR-ut1yx]

You must be a Biden voter 😅

[@bensconcretecreations]

@JR-ut1yx so anyone that has a different opinion from someone else must be on the opposite political side? Does it make you feel any different that's furthest from the truth. People still throwing out this left and right shit like it's the greatest separator for people with different opinions. I hope none of this is true for this dude but watching this interview he gets very uncomfortable moving around when asked certain questions. Time will tell and I'm sure we'll get another video on it.

[@openyoureyes7144]

As a business owner with many LLC’s I see what he claims. I believe what happened here was a forensic accountant on the Wassermans team found transactions that where outside of the normal expense account like childcare , venmo etc,etc that although ok’d by say the Lawrence’s or Lucas’s bookkeeper etc (Although Not officially granted by Wasserman and under the terms of Agreement appear fraudulent and a misappropriation of funds even though- He knows he’s owed more money (expenses he paid) that will go into that account that should be his but looks as if he’s misappropriating funds. Just a hunch.

[@scotteckerman3047]

It is fine for him to speak his mind (although I am not heard one single word that will help him relative to all his multiple statements). Unfortunately, what is nice vs not nice, who's feelings were hurt etc. ,the only thing that makes a difference is what is legal (welcome to the real world). Regardless of what we think of our legal system, it is still arguably the best in the world. There will be a trial of his peers to make the correct verdict...we have zero say in the matter. In regards to being nice or feeling hurt...yes, if a jury of his peers finds him innocent of all charges a published apology would be appropriate.

[@CookseyMedia]

If you want to focus on what is legal, he had signing privileges on the account. Game over! Legally he is in the clear with the claims being made, and if his employer gave him permission, hopefully it is in writing somewhere. He accounted for all the money used when his finances were frozen due to the divorce.

[@malcolmlester4585]

@ i would say that even if he had signing rights all the purchases etc would have to go through the Lawrences as that was part of there case which he hasnt addressed...well i havent heard it yet and good luck to him and seems like its fairly straight forward but a lot to go through to prove what his exact privilege's were.

[@scotteckerman3047]

@@CookseyMedia You may be correct that he is totally found not guilty on all counts. However, please read my statement again - I did not say he was guilty or innocent (none of us have anything say in the matter except the jury). However, you are dead wrong on one point. It is not up to us, it is up to a jury of his peers...the game is only over when the verdict is delivered. Remember, he should not be proven innocent or guilty ahead of the trial verdict. Please correct me if I am wrong relative to the bottom line - again I did not state his innocent or guilt.

[@CookseyMedia]

@@scotteckerman3047 you are correct, but he has two fights, one in court and another to save his career. If it were all about court he should be quiet and fight in court, but since they attacked him through the media he has to publicly defend himself. If not he could win in court, but 2 years later his career will be completely gone, I suspect that was why they went public.

[@GoZipper]

@@CookseyMedia Also, what is interesting is the court documents so far show that this is only the Lawrence brothers suing Mirtl. Wasserman group is not part of the lawsuit. Another interesting point in the lawsuit is that "Specifically, Mirtl managed and/or controlled, including with signatory authority, certain bank accounts, including the Wells Fargo bank account at issue" so it seems that Mirtl had the authority to do this. Makes me think that this is truly a civil dispute between Mirtl and the Lawrences.

[@alistairjeenes2729]

Ok cooksey I'm about to watch this 🇬🇧🏁

[@CookseyMedia]

I can’t help but feel for Mirtl, he is being convicted in public before even being notified. Doesn’t anyone think this is strange?

[@alistairjeenes2729]

​@@CookseyMediawow, I take it all back, good on you cooksey, I'm with you here mate, and yes it's a smear campaign, real motive to be announced 🇬🇧🏁

[@mathewgrizzfishing]

This interview doesn’t sit well with me, Cooksey, I understand your own outlook on the situation him being a friend, but for his benefit you should have been a little more unbiased about the whole situation. If Wassermann don’t want to be counter-sued they would have done there own research to ensure there not leaving themselves open for legal action. Take away everyone’s bias AGAINST the Lawrence’s, Cooksey included, that should hold a fair bit of weight that he was fired, not just taken off the Lawrence’s team… 🤷🏾

[@ZacAttackManiac]

Mathis might of found the documents, HOWEVER, its easier to find them when someone tells you when and where to look. That's all Im sayin. His lawyer should look into that because it will show whoever told Mathis is obviously the one who pushed for all this to happen.

[@CookseyMedia]

They will, I can’t say more but everyone involved will get exposed.

[@brianloeffler2245]

RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT !!!

[@brianricoh3242]

I think he practiced poor judgement, and when the Lawrences got $240,000 withheld from them by Alpinestars via the Agent, it brought everything to light. IMO But no, the Agent doesn't pass the smell test

[@deckmonkey1459]

That's bullshit. The statement was Alpinestars sold Jetson Donuts $240k of gear and they sold it straight to Feld for $240k. When the $240k wasn't paid to Alpinestars they took it off the sponsorship money. I'm a good guy, so even at $15/gram I'll sell you 2 for $25, but I ain't ever selling it to you at my cost. Order, invoice, set up delivery, receive payment and not mark up the gear a penny? Nah, that's not happening. Now, how are they forcing Feld to buy merch from them so Feld has gear to sell at the races? And they would have saved $120k in taxes on the sponsorship money, then take the $240k for the gear tax free with the right accountant.

[@Thezynnbinn]

Guy says he paid 700k out of his money to fund lawrance experience. Then says it was wassermans money...I AM WASSERMAN. Guy is high AF. This video will likely be incriminating evidence lol

[@bongboy9]

Accurate

[@BNR-bob]

Wow! What a great interview! My mind has changed!… What is the big deal coming up that would’ve made Lucas this large amount of money? 👀

[@BNR-bob]

And from my context clues I’ve gathered, am I understanding it right?… Jett wanted none of this and basically would’ve kept Lucas… it was above his head by probably his parents, who made this greedy call to fire Lucas.

[@CookseyMedia]

Jett’s new HRC deal, largest in the sport’s history!

[@TimMartin-f3d]

If this jettson Llc was owned by wasserman .....no worries Totally get it ... But if the business was owned by jettson and co Then all of it is stealing .

[@Deezzer1212]

Do you think that their dad and the other agent orchestrated this when they originally created the LLC. Is it possible they had that kind of foresight to plan this. Possibly due to him being half in half out because of his divorce situation.

[@Deezzer1212]

This would line up with the theory about him and Dazzy having altercations.

[@alexadamson1322]

I’ve never heard him speak before. I didn’t realize he was an Ausie.

Find a different narrative, this one is totally in favor of the Lawrence brothers…

The truth is simple. Listening to this is exhausting and super complicated. Unfortunately it seems like the court is going to unwind this mess.

@@CookseyMediaI appreciate your hard work lately, I was so skeptical that you would get this interview, I got a way better perception actually hearing it from him from his side, I believe Him but I feel he made some mistakes but did not deserve what he is going through

[@D-Wheels]

I get he’s in a dark place but he has to be on drugs the way he speaks in circles. Basically, he did spend the money, but he’s saying that it’s not even a Lawrence account and he does have access to use it because his personal accounts are frozen. There’s no need for a civil lawsuit if he’s willing to write a check to “reconcile” the funds. There’s a civil suit because I’m sure the police said it’s a civil matter. Just write a check and end the drama.

[@craighills2382]

There is Legal Due process, It cannot be given to anyone one other the the accused first and foremost . It holds no grounds of legality .

[@brutus6328]

There are a few things that bother me here. Why wouldn't the Laurence's and Wasserman just simply CONFRONT HIM PRIVATELY first? Even if we play devil's advocate and say he WAS in fact stealing, this is a guy who you've called "family", he's been with you forever, you've had him over for Xmas and he's done a hell of a job helping you with your career, why not give the man the benefit of the doubt or at least the chance to explain? It wouldn't hurt your case either way because you're either right or wrong. If he DID steal, that will come out either way so why go about it in such a way to disgrace the man by NOT even speaking to him and going public. That is basically the issue in this country as you are generally presumed GUILTY until you PROVE yourself innocent, yet our system is designed to work the other way. At the end of the day, Mirtl should STILL be considered innocent until we hear it all play out. I'm extremely disappointed in the way the Laurence's went about it, whether he's a thief or not, he SHOULD have been confronted PRIVATELY first!!! I mean if I thought my brother was stealing from me, I wouldn't concoct this master plan with attorneys and contact news agency's first, I'd do what a real man does and confront him first. If you are at odds in any way with someone you call family, why would they not deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt? I just don't understand this cancel mentality at all.

[@codyschrecengost197]

If he really is confident that there was no wrongdoing on his part, his best play is to make a small statement saying that he is innocent and let it play out in court. Any little clip or quote from this interview could be painted in front of a jury to make him look guilty

[@candicemartin1888]

Why would wasserman want to get rid of him ? To take over contracts ? Surley a business that karge knows he makes money they make money..... Unless theybwere worroed hed eventually go out on his own and take clients .

[@glentight]

He's done. "Setup" or "Sting" is a perspective issue. If the account was not "The Lawrances", Alpinestars would have no recouse to withold sponsorhip funding to the the Lawrances to the tune of the 250k of goods received by the LLC. Now watch this back Cooksey and run a body language breakdown on it.

[@CookseyMedia]

I did, but I also know his baseline. He looks normal, but under a significant amount of stress.

[@NicholasCarter-hx3cu]

I think he thought he was entitled to use funds without questions asked since what he has done for them. The reality is when are managing someone and a account you are not entitled to anything regardless what you have done for them.
