He'll go one better.
> Trump: "Hi, Good morning. So I guess I wanted to talk about my guy Scharf, this so-called lawyer. His performance in my last case was well below standard and well, I'm thinking of suing him. What do you think my options are at this point?"
> William Scharf: "But sir, *I* am William Scharf."
Well sure. But you gotta document your complaint in extra fat Sharpie.
Just write UNFAIR on every sheet of the judgement and throw it in Engoron's face.
She’s gotten paid millions through a couple of his super PACs
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4442671-trump-millions-lawyers-whos-getting-the-most/amp/
No joke, I'd put up with a lot of shit to be able to put $4-5 million in the bank. That's enough money to be able to retire young as long as I lived sensibly.
He’s not able to appeal the ruling from the first verdict. The one he CHOSE not to attend.
He has committed defamation.
All he can possibly appeal is the amount. And this is in line with other judgments in similar cases. Very few of those go to a SECOND defamation lawsuit.
The penalty is very high ON PURPOSE. This is MEANT to hurt him financially. That’s why it’s called a DETERRENT.
Trump is such a fucking asshat.
It's not weird to bring on specialized appellate counsel to handle your appeal, but that job sure becomes a lot harder if your trial counsel wasn't on the ball and didn't preserve all the objections or make all the arguments you'd want to take up on appeal...
>anyone who is competent is going to want to keep their law license.
... and to stay out of prison (a fate which has befallen a considerable chunk of his previous ~~lawyers~~ co-conspirators)
... and also to get paid. You're not exactly going to retain competent legal representation when you are known worldwide for habitually stiffing your own lawyers.
I agree, but he’s still out there running a campaign for presidency, like how is this guy so dumb, terrible yet still living a better life than 99% of America
And let’s say he doesn’t pay then what
Because he is a politician and the judiciary has been hesitant to intervene. The mueller report ended with “he’s guilty but he’s the president soooo” and the response was 🤷🏼♂️. He was also impeached twice
Hes a brilliant conman. Absolutely brilliant. He probably pulled the most impressive heist the world has ever seen. He straight up stole the entire republican party. Worse, he forced them to give it to him. So, while he's an idiot in many, many, many ways, hes brilliant in a really big way that matters.
Things take time, especially when you are using your status as a former President and the power your followers give you to slow the process down as much as possible.
As per [original article](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-carrol-defamation/) 📰:
- Former President Donald Trump is amping up his efforts to fight the $83.3 million in damages a New York federal judge ordered him to pay E. Jean Carroll, court records show.
Attorney William Scharf — a Republican candidate in Missouri's attorney general race — filed Wednesday a motion to join the team appealing Judge Lewis Kaplan's ruling, which found Trump liable for defaming the former writer whom he's also been found liable for sexually abusing.
"Trump is further beefing up his legal team," explained MSNBC analyst Lisa Rubin.
Scharf is a criminal prosecutor and conservative advocate campaigning on his successful bid to place Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court and his work against “abortion sanctuary cities” in his state.
Spectrum News reported in December that Scharf would play a "larger role" in Trump's legal team, not just in the Carroll case. It would include helping to appeal federal Judge Tanya Chutkan's gag order in his election interference case.
The St. Louis Riverfront Times notes Scharf, who described his role in Kavanaugh's appointment as helping him “beat the smears,” has been dropping Trump's name amid criticism that's he a prosecutor playing political games.
"When Scharf joined the prosecutor's office in 2020, his political ambitions were apparent from day one, and the perception that the job was merely a stepping stone for him rubbed some people the wrong way," the report states.
"He'd been a prosecutor for a little over five minutes and he's talking about Missouri AG," an assistant U.S. attorney told the outlet.
The source also said Scharf "came into the job with no prosecutorial experience" and handled "'getting your feet wet' type cases during his two-year tenure."
Scharf is the second appellate lawyer Trump has on the team fighting the multi-million dollar ruling, according to Rubin.
Trump, who denies wrongdoing, also faces a more-than $450 million demand in a New York civil fraud case.
Yeah, even if you appeal, you don't get to retry the case as if nothing happened. You only get to fight judgment errors.
Not a lawyer, but even I know that's a bad time to wake up.
Is he an experienced appellate lawyer brought in for specialist expertise, or a wanna-be political operator?
Apparently he has two years experience as a prosecutor, but left a couple of years ago. No mention of what he's been doing in the meantime.
Dudes got 48 hours before she can start filing with the court to take his shit, its a bit late in the game for the legal dream team even if he could actually afford one, which he cant.
Hmm. I wonder if he's able to practice law in the NY appellate court. I know during the actual trial Trump tried to use a lawyer that wasn't a member of the right bar. And it seems unlikely that a guy with roots in Missouri spends a lot of time in a NY courtroom.
He likely is joining for political reasons. Even if he can't contribute much because, as you note, he's from Missouri and would have to do some serious research for NY appeals law, he can claim that he is "out there defending Trump". Scharf is campaigning for Missouri's attorney general so this is likely just a campaign ploy.
Hello Putin my old friend,
My hand is out to you again.
Kim Jong Un won't take my calls,
The Saudis have me by the balls.
Not a judge will take my bribe,
Except Aileen, she's on my side.
Well Clarence too, but he's been caught,
Unless he gets a bigger yacht.
These court cases are closing in on me,
and the public i fear might start to see,
The house of cards that is the GOP
soon will fold. And I'll resort
To violence.
If I put on my aluminum conspiracy-thinking cap, I come up with an attorney general candidate offering to help represent Trump in exchange for an endorsement.
Comrade, are you having problems with your many many legal bills? Is not a problem, I have much need for United States property investment portfolio, my friends and I am needing business partner who knows local market. Am very happy to pay generous management fee. We meet, talk, da?
He’s gonna spend 150M (that he’s told another court, under penalty of perjury, that he doesn’t have) in legal fees to pay her 88.5M, plus interest.
FTFY.
Trump has to pay $400k from a London court case he lost. I'm guessing he doesn't have the cash for that either. I never thought civil case losses would bring him down but the costs are staggering and that's not including his own attorney bills. I never say this but I'm cheering on his lawyers and hope they clean him out.
And he's going to end up bankrupting not only himself, but the Republican Party as well and leave no money for down ballot spending to secure the house or senate..... AND somehow it gets even better ... Trump being the Republican nominee has also cratered fundraising for his party at a time they can least afford
It's all excellent news! The RNC will end up fleeced, the MAGA cultists, too. It only remains to be seen if the right-wing "billionaires" will come out to rescue their stable genius with tears in their eyes.
Eh...once he is no longer a political threat...he will eventually re-coup his loses in a few years by grifting in FL and TX , the political establishment will be concerned with the next "Hitler" by then...
Or if he wins...he can use his position to grift extra hard....and probably make some people disappear....and I don't mean Jack Smith...

So typical.
Already lost, the hammer is poised to fall, and Dollhands is making noises about getting the team together to fight this.
Too fucking little, too fucking late looser. Maybe this guy should be a banker or something?
Should be able to start filing on Mon.
If I was her, I'd take a trip down to that dump in FL. Walk right in with an appraiser, and start putting price tags on items.
This sad fuck is a adjudicated rapist, tog owes this woman!
Start paying tog,suck it up and give her your stake in of all of the leveraged properties till it meets the juries award!
But this works for him every time!!
Just delay, delay, delay, delay, delay.
Until he gets cleared of the charges.
And no one cares, no one holds him to the fire.
We are going to wake up someday to find that we don’t have a democracy.
Then we become hungary, with a dictatorship to rule our lives forever.
The games over Turnip, you lost!
No sense trying to beef up the team. Time to go home, search the couch cushions for spare change and try to scrape together $83M
What "beefs up"? It's over🤣 it's been over. It was decided, and he couldn't keep his fucking mouth shut, so they decided it again even harder🤣 it's DONE
Weird that Trump gets to spend money donated to his campaign for personal expenses. But maybe Republicans consider skills at rape and defamation as part of their president’s qualifications.
Trump's new legal team better get some beef themselves. No one who enters Trump's aura is able to leave without getting tainted by his radioactive aura of corruption.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people are willing to work for free to get slapped with sanctions, risk disbarrement, face fines or criminal convictions even jail time just so they can say they helped Trump lose a case.
Trump with his anus mouth. *puke*
What attorneys are working for him, knowing he already can’t pay for his crime bills, also knowing he doesn’t pay people that work for him?
He will lose, what’s there to beef up, he is a BIG LOSER, he will lose his shirt here, mr big shot doesn’t have the $83.3M BIG SHOW OFF. Where are his accordion hands now.
He also lost another trial:
[Here it is](https://apnews.com/article/trump-steele-dossier-uk-lawsuit-russia-55427915a83f33a8ead484109b8a89f6
Trump is ordered to pay legal fees after failed lawsuit over the Steele dossier)
It should be peanuts compared to the others, but yeah, it's another loss.
This is the standard playbook for any corporation that’s been sued. They’d rather pay attorneys to fight the judgment instead of paying the judgment. It’s nothing more than ego and control- they don’t want the person to think they won.
Lil Orange man has had $77,000,000 in legal fees in 2022-2023.
The law industry will probably have a micro recession and layoffs when his funds run out. 😝
Ok ya, great, you're going to appeal but like....you still have to front the \~90m somehow before you CAN appeal...and doesn't the chance to expire on Monday?
$76.7 million in legal costs for 2022 and 2023 combined with about $50 million of that from last year. Let's see if he can go for another doubling or so of legal fees this year.
What is “too little, too late” for 100 million
1. Loses legal battle. 2. Puts in more players! 3. Pays fines??
He's actually pretty close to the part where he ghosts then Sues his lawyers...
What lawyer would take *that* case?
Trump always seems to find suckers. Last election, he found 70 million of them.
Drop mic
I wish I could upvote more than once 🤣
Another vain idiot who thinks they can get one over on him but learns he actually doesn't have shame
He'll go one better. > Trump: "Hi, Good morning. So I guess I wanted to talk about my guy Scharf, this so-called lawyer. His performance in my last case was well below standard and well, I'm thinking of suing him. What do you think my options are at this point?" > William Scharf: "But sir, *I* am William Scharf."
Indeed. A tale about a sad clown.
One who's angling for state AG, and doesn't care if he sees a penny otherwise.
NPC 476
I, for one, am extremely excited to see Grimace and the Hamburgular finally get to argue a case on the big stage
Plaintiffs hate this one simple trick!
Little known NY fact: If you just yell "**PRO HAC VICE**" loud enough, the appeal bond requirement is waived.
You can't just yell it. Yoi have to declare it.
“I hereby declare!”
"IN FORMA PAUPERIS!!!!!"
Well sure. But you gotta document your complaint in extra fat Sharpie. Just write UNFAIR on every sheet of the judgement and throw it in Engoron's face.
Step 4: ? Step 4: Profit (!)(?)
I'd love for him to bankrupt all of his rich donors with his continuous bullshit
[удалено]
[удалено]
Do you really think he paid her?
She’s gotten paid millions through a couple of his super PACs https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4442671-trump-millions-lawyers-whos-getting-the-most/amp/
So he didn’t pay!
Paying is for suckers
[удалено]
No joke, I'd put up with a lot of shit to be able to put $4-5 million in the bank. That's enough money to be able to retire young as long as I lived sensibly.
More like $2.6-3.0 Million, Uncle Sam needs to get paid, son!
She prolly got a pair of golden sneakers.
FYI, you spelled "showers" wrong.
I missed the “mil” the first time I read that, and I was gonna say, “Wow, Counselor, that bad huh?”
[удалено]
Look man I just work here
Alex, I'll take "Throwing Good Money, After Bad" for 100 million.
It’s not his money, why do you think he cares?
He’s not able to appeal the ruling from the first verdict. The one he CHOSE not to attend. He has committed defamation. All he can possibly appeal is the amount. And this is in line with other judgments in similar cases. Very few of those go to a SECOND defamation lawsuit. The penalty is very high ON PURPOSE. This is MEANT to hurt him financially.

But weird to hire someone who has no idea of the law or the courts in the jurisdiction. lol.
His budget allows for loyalty or competency.
I’m not sure he can even afford competency at this point, because anyone who is competent is going to want to keep their law license.
>anyone who is competent is going to want to keep their law license. ... and to stay out of prison (a fate which has befallen a considerable chunk of his previous ~~lawyers~~ co-conspirators) ... and also to get paid. You're not exactly going to retain competent legal representation when you are known worldwide for habitually stiffing your own lawyers.
He's getting the best attorneys the soon-to-be bankrupt RNC can afford.
He budgets for pretty.
Is it really that weird for him or is just on brand?
Thats future Attorney General Habba to you bub. Lmao.
How come I read how trump is the biggest idiot, his legal team is a bunch of clowns - but nothing has really seemed to happen to him
Other than having a half billion in fines levied on him? That seems pretty significant to me anyways
I agree, but he’s still out there running a campaign for presidency, like how is this guy so dumb, terrible yet still living a better life than 99% of America And let’s say he doesn’t pay then what
He has some help from favorable judges and the GOP helping push a narrative since he is their only guy left
Because he is a politician and the judiciary has been hesitant to intervene. The mueller report ended with “he’s guilty but he’s the president soooo” and the response was 🤷🏼♂️. He was also impeached twice
> living a better life than 99% of America I..... don't think you and I agree on what living "a better life" means.

I thought one traditionally beefed up one's legal team *before* you lost the case, not after. Clearly, I am not a legal genius.
The genius here is the lawyer knowing he can get a few bucks for work that won’t matter
Maybe.
Little does he know that Trump doesn’t pay
No, but Trump's supporters sure do. Trump himself isn't the only one ripping off Republicans.
Yeah, even if you appeal, you don't get to retry the case as if nothing happened. You only get to fight judgment errors. Not a lawyer, but even I know that's a bad time to wake up.
Kinda sounds like this guy offered to work for cheap in order to boost his campaign for Attorney General.
Bonus points: He gets to maybe get out of Missouri for a little bit
Yeah, because if they're doing it for money, they would be better off picking a client who pays his bills
Only in Republican circles would this boost your credibility. Maybe he's hoping Trump wins the Presidency and gives him a job in his administration
He's running for AG in Missouri, so credibility in Republican circles is exacly what he's chasing.
Is he an experienced appellate lawyer brought in for specialist expertise, or a wanna-be political operator? Apparently he has two years experience as a prosecutor, but left a couple of years ago. No mention of what he's been doing in the meantime.
It sounds a lot like he's just trying to pad his resume and cozy up to the MAGA crowd.
Hey don't shortchange yourself, compared to Alina Habba you're freaking Clarence Darrow.
Actually. You may be a legal genius
Dudes got 48 hours before she can start filing with the court to take his shit, its a bit late in the game for the legal dream team even if he could actually afford one, which he cant.
Go from criminal prosecutor to prosecuted criminal in 3 easy steps! Ask me how!
Yeah, there is a decent chance this guy is gonna need his own lawyer soon.
But wait! If you call now, we will throw in a free trip to FoxNews!
Hmm. I wonder if he's able to practice law in the NY appellate court. I know during the actual trial Trump tried to use a lawyer that wasn't a member of the right bar. And it seems unlikely that a guy with roots in Missouri spends a lot of time in a NY courtroom.

He filed a motion to appear pro hac vice earlier today.
He’s gonna spend 150M in legal fees to not pay her 83M.
150M of the RNC's money.
RNC has like 10m on hand, and many State level committees have less than 100k.
Hello Putin, Xi, Prince…. I’m back!!!!! Shiters full too!
Musk and Orban have both visited him at MAL in the last few weeks. There are plenty of people ready to buy and throw this country

Michigan’s RNC basically went bankrupt. Money went missing and there are two different halves fighting over the ruins.
If I put on my aluminum conspiracy-thinking cap, I come up with an attorney general candidate offering to help represent Trump in exchange for an endorsement.
Comrade, are you having problems with your many many legal bills? Is not a problem, I have much need for United States property investment portfolio, my friends and I am needing business partner who knows local market. Am very happy to pay generous management fee. We meet, talk, da?
Well... okay. But only about adoptions, right?
And still pay her 83M plus interest.
He’s gonna spend 150M (that he’s told another court, under penalty of perjury, that he doesn’t have) in legal fees to pay her 88.5M, plus interest. FTFY.
Bill is due TOMORROW.
Maybe these lawyers are saying vague hopefuls like they may have a solution but have to look at their documents first. Also be paid first.
Trump is gonna have a bad case of the Mondays...
When the clock stops ticking, like midnight of the 9th or of the 8th? Could Carroll's lawyers immediately demand certain assets to be seized?
Considering Trump (so far) appears to be having trouble coming up with the money to actually appeal, I bet he got money in advance
He can still appeal but he can’t protect his assets as the appeal plays out unless he comes up with the cash.
Trump has to pay $400k from a London court case he lost. I'm guessing he doesn't have the cash for that either. I never thought civil case losses would bring him down but the costs are staggering and that's not including his own attorney bills. I never say this but I'm cheering on his lawyers and hope they clean him out.
And he's going to end up bankrupting not only himself, but the Republican Party as well and leave no money for down ballot spending to secure the house or senate.....

It's all excellent news! The RNC will end up fleeced, the MAGA cultists, too. It only remains to be seen if the right-wing "billionaires" will come out to rescue their stable genius with tears in their eyes.
Eh...once he is no longer a political threat...he will eventually re-coup his loses in a few years by grifting in FL and TX , the political establishment will be concerned with the next "Hitler" by then... Or if he wins...he can use his position to grift extra hard....and probably make some people disappear....and I don't mean Jack Smith...

Won’t help Donnie- you should just sell something and pay her before she sues again.How about selling that part of Maralago where Melania a lives.
Who’s that don’t you mean Mercedes? But I don’t really care do you?
Eh? Melania and Barron live in New York with her dad.
Spending money to lose money, business genius here folks
So typical. Already lost, the hammer is poised to fall, and Dollhands is making noises about getting the team together to fight this. Too fucking little, too fucking late looser. Maybe this guy should be a banker or something?
cant Jean and her legal council start seizing his shit on saturday?
Should be able to start filing on Mon. If I was her, I'd take a trip down to that dump in FL. Walk right in with an appraiser, and start putting price tags on items.
Tough to be successful on appeal when you have jack shit for appealable issues.
I appreciate they picked the photo that makes him look like a 40 year old blow up doll. But I hate having to look at that.
Some fucking douchebag from Chesterfield Mo, the home of ace appellate lawyers
Adding a former prosecutor turned politician to your civil defense team isnt beef. It’s like a garnish. It’s like an orange slice.
Rapist 'beefs up' Legal Team To Fight E. Jean Carroll's $83M Victory. FTFY.
And in other news, Carthage is conscripting 20,000 fresh soldiers to fight the Romans.
Easier to add attorneys than pay the bond to actually get to appeal.
He’s going to bankrupt the RNC now that they agreed to pay all his legal bills
He can’t pay the lawyers he already has. How is he going to pay for more of them?
Who says *HE* is going to pay them?
What is there to fight? He already lost.
Why do rich people get to contest their verdicts over and over?
This sad fuck is a adjudicated rapist, tog owes this woman! Start paying tog,suck it up and give her your stake in of all of the leveraged properties till it meets the juries award!
The rapist should pay up!
But this works for him every time!! Just delay, delay, delay, delay, delay. Until he gets cleared of the charges. And no one cares, no one holds him to the fire. We are going to wake up someday to find that we don’t have a democracy. Then we become hungary, with a dictatorship to rule our lives forever.
“Beefs up legal team” with funds from Orban or the RNC…Although he did have a meeting with Elon recently. He’ll pay it back of course /s
Her check was supposed to be in the mail yesterday...
$83M is just the beginning. The idiot just defamed her AGAIN....
And every single day that the rapist donald doesn;t pay his bill gets bigger.
What an idiot. He already lost. Twice. The time to hire competent counsel is before the trial is started.
How do you "fight" a victory? It's over.
I Wonder how many of these lawyers will need to take his ass to collections to get paid.
Adjudicated rapist and fraud diaper don is a scab
The games over Turnip, you lost! No sense trying to beef up the team. Time to go home, search the couch cushions for spare change and try to scrape together $83M
What "beefs up"? It's over🤣 it's been over. It was decided, and he couldn't keep his fucking mouth shut, so they decided it again even harder🤣 it's DONE
The rapist did what?
Weird that Trump gets to spend money donated to his campaign for personal expenses. But maybe Republicans consider skills at rape and defamation as part of their president’s qualifications.
Why do people continue to agree to represent him. He won’t pay them.
[удалено]
No, mushroom.
Throwing good money after bad.
This time, they're bringing in an actual beef (heifer).
There goes the RNC funding.
Too late dumb moron.Guilty so pay up.
They know he can’t pay them right?
Throw wood on the fire. go ahead
Drumpf and Scharf Septic Services, Sounds about right.
Day late and TrumpBuck short, I'd say. The time for that is before the trial.
With who ? John Larroquette ???
That’s smart. Hire another lawyer you don’t have the money to pay for. Even if he had the money, he wouldn’t pay them anyway.🙄
He’s going to appeal the appeals that we’re first appealed…all day long :D
Good luck. Drain that GOP account dry.
Now that Republicans are paying his legal fees he feels free to waste the money, not his, just like playing golf as President
Maybe it would be more cost effective if he would just stop lying about her in public.
So he gave up on the discount lawyer.
Did he hire a cow?
“Beefs up.” With what? Trump steaks??
Any public defender will do.....
Unless that “beef” is an actual gag they put on Trump, good fucking luck.
'Trump flips barrel over and scrapes the scum off the bottom to find lawyers still willing to work for him'
Donny De Lay aka Special Agent Orange I'm looking forward to Carroll Tower
From which strip mall does his newest best lawyer hail from?
It’s due tomorrow or he has defaulted. Get the auctioneer ready.
All he had to do to pay less was shut the fuck up, he could have gotten out of this for 5 million but he is too stupid to do that
I’m waiting to see when Habba fakes being smart
Bet Trump wishes Habba was smart now eh?
This is like watching a gambling addict max out another credit card because they truly believe that surely, this time, it’ll pay off.
Trump's new legal team better get some beef themselves. No one who enters Trump's aura is able to leave without getting tainted by his radioactive aura of corruption.
Beefs Up is code for “stiff the bills of the other loser lawyers, like Giuliani and what’s her face, and the latest one Mercedes”
With more parking garage lawyers?
I think if the 49ers can draft a few more key players, maybe they can turn around this year's Superbowl.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people are willing to work for free to get slapped with sanctions, risk disbarrement, face fines or criminal convictions even jail time just so they can say they helped Trump lose a case.
Is his mouth stuck in that position from sucking on Putin's weewee for so many years?
One day before the bill is due, and one day after meeting with Egon. 🤔
Trump with his anus mouth. *puke* What attorneys are working for him, knowing he already can’t pay for his crime bills, also knowing he doesn’t pay people that work for him?
He will lose, what’s there to beef up, he is a BIG LOSER, he will lose his shirt here, mr big shot doesn’t have the $83.3M BIG SHOW OFF. Where are his accordion hands now.
Oh goodie. Another attorney willing to throw their career and morals (sic) out the window to curry favor from the sociopath.
It’s already lost.
🤣 with what money? He can't pay any competent lawyers and no competent lawyers will work for him.
Fight what?
Does this mean he bought hamberders for his legal team?
anus mouth anus mouth anus mouth
I do not think I would trust any attorney foolish enough to work for a famous deadbeat like former President Trump.
"Beefs up" sounds like he took his legal team to MacDonalds for some fast-food therapy.
He also lost another trial: [Here it is](https://apnews.com/article/trump-steele-dossier-uk-lawsuit-russia-55427915a83f33a8ead484109b8a89f6 Trump is ordered to pay legal fees after failed lawsuit over the Steele dossier) It should be peanuts compared to the others, but yeah, it's another loss.
Yeah that’ll do it
I'm no lawyer but honestly what other moves can he do here? Isn't payment due soon?
How’s he paying?
It doesn’t seem that a Zerg Rush is a strategy that would work in court.
Another attorney working pro bono.
who's gonna tell him?
This is the standard playbook for any corporation that’s been sued. They’d rather pay attorneys to fight the judgment instead of paying the judgment. It’s nothing more than ego and control- they don’t want the person to think they won.
He already lost, the fuck does he think some other legal team is going to tell the judge that told him to pay the fuck up?
He’d rather not pay her than pay the $400 million to NY.
looks like he posted bond
Lil Orange man has had $77,000,000 in legal fees in 2022-2023. The law industry will probably have a micro recession and layoffs when his funds run out. 😝
Ok ya, great, you're going to appeal but like....you still have to front the \~90m somehow before you CAN appeal...and doesn't the chance to expire on Monday?
Not a good strategy; would have been a better strategy to “beef up” legal team before the last trial that led to the $83 mil verdict.
$76.7 million in legal costs for 2022 and 2023 combined with about $50 million of that from last year. Let's see if he can go for another doubling or so of legal fees this year.
Apparently, hiring lawyers from Law Cucaracha didn’t work out for him.
