I must say, if I was broke and bored, and had nothing to lose and a mild misanthropic streak (good thing that only some of the above apply to me), I'd probably find engaging such antics to be a very amusing way of passing the time.

Not that I advocate making life annoying for senior partners at large law firms, mind you. After all, they contribute so much to society...

Strange, sometimes I can be sympathetic to all sorts of losers. Not this time though...

Wow, nice red MG sportscar for a `penniless man'.

Ha! I love the way the greedy lawyers were quite happy to use money obtained from a finance company to pay thier bill even though they knew it was fraudulently obtained - what integrity they have!!! Surely now the finance company can sue the lawyers for missappropriating funds that should by all accounts have been held in trust due to it being for a real estate transaction. Then we can rack up more lawers bills!

It seems like a case of the stupidly greedy ripping off the stupidly greedy! Every one of them look like chumps.
