In an inevitable move on Friday, the court clerk in the matter of Jose “Chille” DeCastro vs. John “Irish Demon” O’Dea officially issued a default after O’Dea failed to file a response or motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which effectively ended his participation in the suit.
The court clerk stated:
Clerk’s Notice ENTRY OF DEFAULT as to John Brendan O’Dea. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (Related documents(s) 12 )(kmg, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 10/10/2025) (Entered: 10/10/2025)
As he was legally served with paperwork in the lawsuit and he apparently made the conscious choice to ignore the filing, from this point forward, O’Dea is no longer able to provide a defense in the lawsuit.
The clerk’s notice is the first step towards a default judgment. To obtain a default judgment, DeCastro’s attorney, that Randall S. “The Unhinged Attorney” Newman, Esq., will need to file a motion for a default and then put on a case to show that DeCastro is entitled to the relief he is seeking.
O’Dea can file a motion to set aside the default or a default judgment if he is able to show he had good cause to miss the deadline. However, O’Dea’s statements earlier in the year on his livestream from a hospital bed indicated that he was aware of the lawsuit, which will become a factor any attempt to have the default judgment set aside.
The case stems from an on-going dispute between O’Dea and DeCastro that started back in 2022 as a series of “pranks” on the part of O’Dea targeting DeCastro. DeCastro filed DMCA takedown notices when O’Dea used his material on YouTube.
O’Dea filed DMCA counter claims listing an Australian address, when he was living in Ireland at the time, and was able to have the videos restored to YouTube as DeCastro did not take legal action to pursue the DMCA claims.
DeCastro would remain a target of O’Dea’s elaborate pranks over the next two years, culminating in an attack on DeCastro’s channel in November of 2024. O’Dea has confessed to friends that he used an old Streamyard account to access DeCastro’s channel and playing videos of male-on-male sex acts in a series of livestreams.
O’Dea’s attacks resulted in the temporary termination of DeCastro’s YouTube channel. According to DeCastro’s account, the loss of his primary source of revenue and the revenue he had earned for November of 2024 forced him to lay off the six full time employees who had been working on his channel.
According to DeCastro, O’Dea’s actions have caused both a reputational loss and a loss of standing in the YouTube algorithm. He sued O’Dea over the summer of 2025 for both the alleged falsification of the DMCA counter notices and the attack on his channel.
In September Attorney Newman was granted permission to serve O’Dea via e-mail and O’Dea was served at both of his e-mail accounts associated with his YouTube channel.
This is a continuing news story.
So many things wrong here.
Irish was legally served? Not in Ireland. And not for his European YT channel.
So the cash value will be zero and when they try to collect in Ireland, they will be nice told no service.
And there is no evidence Irish received it by email… I know pesky detail that.
Just cause it was sent, and it was sent to how many people? Not just Irish but to his business partner and the lawyer of the business partner
And nary a word has been heard from any of those people. I wonder why? Oh right, a prank.
Another prank.
Oh and the California judge will hear from Irish if he send one email saying that he made up all their so called evidence.
Which he did.
See the simple thing here is the term Corpus delicti
Corpus delicti is a legal term that means “body of the crime.” It refers to the principle that a crime must be proven to have occurred before someone can be convicted of that crime, ensuring that there is sufficient evidence beyond just a confession.
What other evidence do they have? Any thing? Any one? Any one at all?
His confession and the screen shots of his confession are?
Worthless.
Nada
Zip
Zero
You got nothing but whatever Irish wanted them to have. He made sure that they had his confession. He helped give them screenshots of his confession. He even contacted them with two more fictional people, an investor and a lawyer to make it seem more legit. And they fell for it, hook line and sinker.
They are now talking about how they will claim a portion or all of his YT money. As if.
No evidence aside from his confession. No service in Ireland where he lives and where he should have been served. No mention of his two buddies…
LOL
Its like watching paper terrorism of a Sovcit. They know they are going to win. Hint, they never do. But man is this funny.
Okay, best part? When Irish drops the bomb on them and does his video showing step by step how he got them into his plan and how despite my warnings, despite my many posts. they still fell for it…
LOL
oh but wait, i am just a usenet troll so what do I know. Well I know a troll when I see a troll and they are being trolled and are too proud to even look at all the warning signs blinking red…
And one last thing, He is going to have to prove damages. Not simply offer legal conclusions to the court. This far in this case and frankly every case chilli is in, he only draws conclusion and offers no evidence of his conclusions. This is why, his other case against Kate is still going nowhere. And never will.

What counts as legally served is often what is reasonable to conclude rather than absolute proof. “My dog might have eaten the service notice” does not count as disproof. “I never check the email address I openly advertise as being a way to contact me” would be such an example.
It is not ‘paper terrorism’ when the accused freely and openly admitted they committed said acts.
I don’t like Chille either but that does not mean it is anything goes against hi
Reply @nctpti2073 Ya sure..
So lets start with service.
The person is in Ireland, the act occurred in Ireland and the attack came from Ireland. Sensing a pattern here? So lets sue him and service him in California? They will recover from where? Oh ya Ireland. From YT europe or YT ireland. So by all means, serve him by email in california.
Next he said he did. Well lock him up and throw away the key. But wait, there is this simply rule of law called corpus delicti, where you need evidence of the crime, not just the confession. Do they have anything resembling evidence. Well the attacker came from Ireland. There is that pesky country again, see above. They have lots of screenshots from Irish ex girlfriend. where he confessed to the whole thing. No need for a jury, get the rope. Oh wait, we have the rule of law. A confession without independent evidence is meaningless.
Paper terrorism, is when you flood the court with meaningless motions, to harass the other side. chilli has often said that is exactly what he intends to do for Kate, trial number 6 or 8? And as such, he is nothing more than a sovcit using paper terrorism on Irish and before we part, Irish is helping him along. Irish made the screen shot, irish enlisted his ex girlfriend to either knowingly or unwittingly provide chilli with all the so called evidence he has.
Hint, a real lawyer would look at this and ask, where is the evidence? Not just the confessions, the evidence. When told that was it, he would not touch the case. Do you know how many crackpots call in to the police hotlines when they are involved with a serious crime. How many people confess to said crime? When they know nothing about it but are in need of medical treatment? This is why there is a rule of law against conviction for the mere confession.
The judge, hint, hint, someone we hope was in law school the day they taught law, would know this. He will listen politely then wait for chilli to rest his case. Then dismiss it out of hand for no evidence has been present. Want some evidence of this occurring? How about the trials, Kate 1, 2, 3 and 4. Don’t forget Blue Bacon trial where chilli still owes like 16K.
So feel free to sue Irish is Timbuktu and heck get a verdict. But when it comes to collecting any money. Remember the point was to win money? maybe not. Time to collect in Cali where Irish is not located, not even in the USA. He has no business there and no income arising from the state or country. When all is said and done, you need to go to Ireland to collect and they will politely ask, the Irish are ever so polite, they will ask in their lovely accent did you serve the defendant? And when they say yes we emailed it to him. The irish courts will look at you and politely, ever so politely explain, service in Ireland is special. Since Irish was never served, you have no lolsuit, you have not victory and you have nothing. Well I should not say that! We have a video Irish will release detailing every step of the way he suckered those fools into his honey trap. and despite being told and despite being aware of the whole scam he was playing on them, they, in their arrogance and delusion, walked right in. Hook like and sinker. or as the frauditors say, they swallowed the whole boot.
