<last week he admitted defeat and announced that the defendants would have to settle and that we were going to do pretty well.>
darn straight.
So why not just buy in and enjoy the ride? Even at 50 cents a unit, there is life-changing money to be made. Just $5 per unit in settlement cash plus our property back would be a fantastic score by any standard.
It's not to late to get on this victory train until the settlement is announced.
He doesn't have to be defeated, just buy in and win.
