We want to hear from you
Last week, before former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli was sentenced to seven years in prison for securities fraud, he was ordered to forfeit more than $7 million from his own funds or "substitute assets." Among the substitute assets listed in the preliminary order of forfeiture? The sole copy of the Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album by Wu-Tang Clan, which Shkreli paid $2 million for in 2015, and a Picasso painting. This week, we’d like to ask you: What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen forfeited or used as collateral in a case? Or what’s the strangest thing you’ve heard of being accepted as payment for legal services? Answer in the comments. Read the answers to last week’s question: Have you ever felt you had to limit contact with a difficult client? Featured answer: Posted by Take A Deep Breath: “I had a client who was dysfunctional on the telephone. The client could not stay focused upon the subject of the conversation. I had to restrict conversations to email, and I told her why. Another former client became evasive when I focused upon material matters that he did not want to confront. I had to cancel a mediation and withdraw.” |
You be the judge What did this lawyer do to earn his public scorn? We perused about 100 entries for this month’s pillory-themed cartoon caption contest, and now it’s time to vote for the winning entry. The caption that receives the most votes will appear in an upcoming issue of the magazine. Powered by Legal Talk Network Longtime legal tech leader Richard Granat finds a new challenge |
