He's got dirt on someone. Plain and simple. The government can freeze your assets if it likes. Your expensive lawyers will leave your case instantenously.
And thats why you have your lawyers on a retainer, and they will fight in court to unfreeze your assets and pay them more if (when) needed
No lawyer or firm will grant you an up front guaranteed retainer of the necessary size to defend this type of case.
Otherwise what you have is actually just a trust fund that your lawyer can access. They can also say "fuck you" and just return the money to you. Which, when you think about the nature of legal conflicts, is absolutely necessary in any agreement.
When some dickweed says "I've got a $10k retainer!" the latter is what they mean.
When someone says "I've got a $3M retainer" then they paid all that up front on agreement for a specific case.
At $1000 per hour, no they won't lol.
When that crypto scam collapsed (with that ugly chick and the nerd guy) the law firm charged $30,000 per hour.
Thousands of hours billed so far lol
None of their personal assets were seized before trial. Only the corporate ones.
Our copyright lawyer costs $1200 per hour and his assistant is an extra $400. I get furious when he wants to talk about skiing for 10 minutes on every call. He's also a giant pussy. He would never go to court for us. He likes easy cases. All expensive lawyers do. In any case we're not paying for his time we're paying for his access to the inside of the industry. The majority of our problems are solved with a simple phone call.
