Retweet regarding the case
here with the is the attorney
with us
by the way full disclosure, his
partner Lynwood. I have recently
retained as one of my personal
lawyers.
I consider you guys the best in
the business
tell us about this case. In
particular.
Thank you for having me on
this case with CNN and the
retweet that came out recently
talking about the settlement or
characterizing. The settlement, I
think, was a big mistake on Cnns
part.
I dont think he should have
been commenting on it.
I think it showed poor judgment
on his behalf to do so.
Clearly, he doesnt have any
ideas. What the terms of the
settlement are yet showed some
poor judgment and commenting on
it, not knowing what he was
talking about
sure
didnt mean to
interrupt you,
ive known him since the rich
jewel case.
I was in Atlanta. In that case,
one of the few people that
didnt rush to judgment taught
me a valuable lesson in my
career
im honored that he has been
able to retain him. As my own
personal attorney, he is great
at what he does. I know one
thing about Lynwood is instead
of saying its a nominal sum. I
dont believe that for a second
I know you cant disclose it,
but I know Lynwood,
he wouldnt settle for a nominal
sum ever under any
circumstances,
do you think I might be in the
right and my over the target.
As you said, cant really
comment and we did agree not to
characterize the settlement, but
I know he is a fabulous lawyer
and he does great work and its
a pleasure to work with him on
these cases.
What they did to this
young man he handled. All of
this perfectly is
unconscionable
the difference between me and
this young man is hes, not a
public figure.
This is more of a slam dunk case
and I believe this kid might
even be a billionaire when all.
