Chapter 2: What legal victories has Diddy experienced?
He represented Osama bin Laden at one point, which was interesting. But I was just wondering what you thought about his decision to step down from Didi's legal team.
So when you step down from a case, there's usually one of two reasons. Mainly, the first one is money. Not getting paid. Very simple. We talked about this at length before, I know. But I don't know how much Didi has paid these firms.
But if Diddy isn't paying anymore or he's refusing to pay, that's a basis to potentially try to get out of the case because you're still in the middle of everything right now and you're going to do a ton more work, especially if this goes to trial. So the amount of hours that are going to be spent on that, it's going to cost a ton of money to Diddy.
And if he hasn't paid or can't afford to pay him anymore, that wouldn't shock me at all that Rico is getting out of it.
David, I actually specifically remember that you called this an attorney's wet dream because of how much money they could potentially make from this case. So yeah, if they're not getting that payday, I can totally imagine.
Yeah, it's not a wet dream anymore. It's going to be a nightmare, I guess.
It's a nightmare. Exactly. Okay. And then the second reason they could potentially withdraw.
So that's not the reason, all right, which I would anticipate that's probably a pretty strong reason. But if it's not, the other one would be that just the client is being an asshole. All right, that's as simple as I can make it. We have clients every now and then who are just very difficult clients. to deal with. It's called client control.
I always want to have client control, meaning, you know, look, the clients, you're in a very tough situation right now. My job is to get you out of this situation. It's to get you the best possible resolution.
