Two tractor trailers pull up and it was like the cavalry had come in.

I can't even tell you.

And it's not like when you hear from someone's story that the FBI kicked my door down.

This was a building.

Right.

And so there were hundreds of team members and computer team members.

And there were members who just sat with me.

and my team in the conference room negotiating attorney-client privilege documents.

And this thing went on, and at the end of the day, they took all the files.

And the next morning, and I cannot remember whether or not the client was arrested that day, but his whole family was indicted, and most of the senior staff were indicted, and it was this big, big mess, this huge mess.

And we wound up hiring between 15 and 20 of the most well-known criminal defense attorneys in Manhattan because it was the Southern District of New York case.

So we wind up hiring all these different law firms because each person who had been indicted needed a separate law firm.

And the companies needed separate law firms.

So now I'm in the middle of all of this thing and I'm the general counsel and I'm the paymaster.

And back then, the legal bill wound up being somewhere around $25 million.

So now it would be, I don't know, close to $100 million worth of legal fees.

And I learned everything.

From the best, I learned all about how to run these cases, how to manage these cases, what... And I was with... This became my full-time job.

Right.

Even though I still had a firm and I still had other cases and other clients, this was basically what I was doing for five years.
