Laz Rojas is a multitalented guy. An actor, writer, filmwriter, "one-man movie studio" -- but what makes him relevant to us is the fact that he made the very well-known and influential WolfenDoom series of Doom WADs during the 1990s and early 2000s. His work started a whole separate subgenre of Doom WADs.
Anyway, life has taken Laz down quite an eventful and tragic path. After his mother's unfortunate passing from dementia in March 2022, he was falsely accused of her murder and placed in prison, where he was subjected to various mistreatments and was left with multiple lasting effects to his health. He was eventually let go early this year, after he was proven innocent, but the damage was done: during imprisonment he also lost all of his possessions, including his property and all of his creations. After a stint on the streets, he received enough donations through his GoFundMe to find proper shelter.
Since his release, he has been trying to sue the people and institutions responsible for putting him through the torture he endured in prison.
This brings us to today: in his latest update posted on Doomworld, Laz details having suffered from Covid or a similar illness, no lawyer being willing to take his case, and his money running out, potentially leaving him on the streets again. Laz is now in his late 50s and of fragile health -- who knows how that could end for him.

Call me paranoid, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that he's been targeted for harassment. He's really gotta get out of LA.
FYI: The DA of LA happens to be George Glascon.

I can't post there because Major Arlene banned me out of pettiness and her totalitarian ignorance but can someone ask him if he still has his passwords and stuff and can receive donations without them being intercepted?
EDIT: Oh yeah, VPN's.
Damn, rereading his post, he lost his passwords, except apparently for DW.
