The written summary judgment order is signed and entered
On 15 July 2026, Circuit Court Judge Spencer Eig signed and entered the written Order Granting Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment against Secondlife Electronics Trading LLC (Case No. 2026-001147-CA-01, Filing # 252525224). What was granted from the bench on 15 May is now a signed order on the record.
The findings, in the Court's words
The Settlement Agreement of 4 June 2025 is “a valid and binding contract, as Defendant has admitted.” Secondlife was required to pay $1,500,000 in monthly installments; it paid only $300,000 “and has admitted that fact.” The Court found the remaining balance to be $1,200,000.
The defense was rejected
Secondlife's sole evidence in opposition was the Tothfalussy Declaration. The Court found it “does not assert agency as a fact” but “asserts only suspicion, perception, and belief,” which is “not competent summary judgment evidence.” The Court noted that the 13 March 2025 letter from Secondlife's own counsel to the Miami Police Department — stating counsel had “no evidence” the lenders were involved and no “proof” that Mr. Pichler was involved — “negates any inference that Plaintiffs directed or controlled Pichler's alleged conduct.” Its conclusion: “no reasonable trier of fact could draw the inference of agency.”
The ruling
“Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED. There is no legitimate, genuine dispute over any material fact in this action... Plaintiffs are entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
What comes next
The Court directed the lenders to file a separate motion for entry of a final money judgment of $1,200,000 plus pre-judgment interest, with reasonable attorneys' fees and costs awarded to the lenders as the prevailing party. The order states that no further judicial action is required on the motion and directs the clerk to reclose the case if post-judgment.
