Bayside’s managing partner, Bert Kaufman, told The Hollywood Reporter that, “Contrary to Twitter’s speculation, it was not set up to bring this matter, but rather existed before the tweets were posted and the photos were stolen.” According to court filings, Bayside is a “communications and strategic advisory firm” that “licenses photographs for commercial exploitation.”

The case before Ryu had its own quirks. In a way, she was being asked to referee a dispute between an anonymous Twitter user and the LLC who asked to unmask the troll but didn’t disclose why or who it was representing. Those unknowns made it more difficult to assess MrMoneybags’ purpose in posting the tweets and whether or how Bayside was harmed.
By that time, Bayside had registered to operate in California, with an office listed in Menlo Park. Those papers identified the company’s managing member as Bert Kaufman, a lawyer and former Commerce Department advisor during the Obama administration who in recent years has worked as a consultant and an executive at Zoox, a self-driving car company owned by Amazon.com Inc. But Twitter, in its filings, speculated that Sheth was the force behind Bayside and using copyright law to suppress criticism.
Kaufman declined to discuss the photos or say who enlisted him to seek to unmask the Twitter user, but said the legal principles at stake were indisputable.
“I have a great deal of respect and reverence for the First Amendment, but there is no First Amendment right to steal someone’s property and use it against another party,” he said. “That is theft.”

How much did Brian Sheth pay Bert to setup this fake company Bayside Advisory, then purchase copyrights of 4 photos from Brenda, while hilariously lying to U.S. courts and pretending their company has any other reason for existing?
https://hucksters.net/person/brian-sheth
WHOIS shows that Bert registered the (formerly expired) domain name on 20 October 2020:
https://www.whoxy.com/baysideadvisory.com
That is the exact same day that “MoneyBags” posted the tweet that pissed off Brian Sheth so much:
https://twitter.com/CallMeMoneyBags/status/1318572771086041088
And the LLC was incorporated on 24 January 2021:
https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ca/202104010564
This means that within 24 hours, Brian Sheth seems to have put this plan in motion with Bert Kaufman, meaning they likely known each other personally — if proven, it means their team has lied to the court multiple times.
