Actually, practically no lawyers are willing to work on contingency, except for specialists in personal injury and class actions.
This shorting nonsense is just being recycled; it's an excuse that's been used by MAXD before. And the reason is pretty clear: it runs the risk of being thrown into receivership.
Easy case? Very funny. They’ve been litigating for years losing at almost every turn and recently wasn't there a tweet copied here with an email said to be from the CFO in which it was claimed that MaxD has spent $14 million ‘together with its partners’ on these easy cases?
As far as I know ‘Paul’ isn’t on contingency or on any case at all currently before the courts.
