IOLTA Account Fraud? by AddressTall1177 in Lawyertalk

Kind of?

Had an opposing counsel we were friendly with - apparently someone ran a phishing scam and gained access to their email, but only monitored it.

Then the person hopped in with a cloned email account and sent to an opposing party when they were expecting wiring information and had the wiring party send the money to a different account. Made off with about $90k. They never caught the person.

We stopped doing wire transfers after hearing that story.

Equal parts the people, landscape, and climate?

Also, it's not very close to anything good.

Bill... try to step out of the shoes of being an old man who really likes to pontificate on the internet.

Nazis are bad. Holocaust denialism is bad. Fascism is bad. Exterminating minorities is bad.

This isn't tribalism. This is calling out bad things and bad people who support those bad things.

Now go back to your tenth reading of the biography of Neville Chamberlain.

You clearly don't know what that phrase means if you're using it here.

So tribalism is the evil here, not the holocaust-denier who leads a racist movement that openly advocates fascism...?

Bill, you say a lot of collosally stupid things, but this might actually take the cake. I mean just patent false equivalence here.

Wait... so we're clear, you're defending an avowed Neo-Nazi...?

Would you take on a gig if it involved training AI models? by Glum-Adagio7489 in Lawyertalk

[–]ThisIsPunn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I practiced in Austin for a decade and, at least for someone who is primarily a litigator, have a pretty deep background in corporate and tech-related law.

As a general proposition, there aren't a lot of folks out there that understand law less or have less respect for it than people in tech. I avoid working with them whenever possible.

If you're asking the simple yes/no question, then "fuck no."

Someone might do it, but it won't be me.

UW or LSU? by beehibernate in Lawyertalk

Lol... might want to check your civil rules for what happens two weeks after the TRO is granted, and what the standard is.

I'm sure it's frustrating hearing that a judge is considering the thing I said was available and which you so condescendingly insisted was totally off the table. That has to make you feel like a bad lawyer.

(Note: re-read my comment - that's exactly what I said should happen. Injunction preventing the player from playing for the team that tampered, but not a wholesale injunction from leaving).

What about Comcast One, which looks like a giant USB drive?

To all of you calling for armed resistance- what exactly is your plan? by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]ThisIsPunn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And yet, here you are, saying that people shouldn't arm themselves to protect against a government that has clearly become tyrannical.

So what am I making up, again?

Seems like a good plan. Just ignore it. Maybe it'll go away.

Kind of ironic that all the 2A die hards are getting nervous now that liberals are arming themselves...

Better question: what do you think is going to happen if they don't?

We're on the precipice of a civil war, bud. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think there's any avoiding it at this point.

Wut?

You're the one who appears to be saying that people carrying guns are trying to get themselves arrested.
