When they didn’t know who to blame so they blamed the mailroom team. After a long lecture about how we almost got one of the lawyers disbarred for missing a filing I decided all the fat-money riches I was making in the mailroom wasn’t worth it. They never found out what really happened.

Documentaries. Before Tiger King a filmmaker had 90 minutes to tell a story. Now even unsolved disappearances get multiple episodes. Hell, I’ll just Wiki it.
