It goes beyond the fact he does pro bono cases for mostly black clientele convicted of weed offenses and stuff. He seems to have been very active in a black students club at one point in college and went to NCCU which is an historically black college.

You forgot to list his sack-of-lard ex-girlfriend Teresa as an item.

This is a masterpiece.

Every time you look at it, a new bleak fact emerges.

3000 calls for attention a week.
Engages with himself 1000x as often as anyone else engages.
Sleeps 4 hours a night
Goes to bed at 7AM

This is absolutely a call for help.

The time is listed in UTC (GMT (sort of but not quite)) which is 4 hours ahead of Eastern Time during Daylight Saving Time, which means he'd be going to bed at 3 AM. Still pretty pathetic for someone who does nothing all day though. This idiot needs a job, and I don't get why he doesn't just work as a public defender. He'd actually get some court experience and earn some actual money. He'd still get to work with black clients a lot as well.

Not the kind of black clients he wants. He wants high quality black clients. Like the one he's representing in an employment discrimination suit where it's almost incomprehensible he has a client this classy, in that she's a former federal appeals court clerk, while he by comparison is a complete loser.

I can't imagine what she sees in him.

If I had to guess, it's because he'll work for peanuts. Someone should reminder her that you get what you pay for.

I'm at a loss. Because you don't get that kind of job without being smarter than hiring this guy suggests. Federal appeals court clerks are on a level of quality just marginally below being Supreme Court clerks. I have no idea how this happened.

Is it possible that the client was actually doing most or all of the work and just needed an actual lawyer to sign off on it for cheap?

People get greedy and if someone isn't paying careful attention how easy do you think it would be for them to fall for a total poser like Greg?

Have there been any filings in that case? Was there some additional information posted about it in this thread? I'll have to admit this has piqued my curiosity because it does seem odd.

Yes, obviously, it's a court case and things have been filed in that case.

He is friends with Popehat who has tremendous influence. Perhaps that is how he got a client this good.

You shouldn't confuse the worth of his business with the fact that he's making a few nickels, though. The fact that his business is able to pay its single employee ~$30k per year isn't exactly evidence that it has any value... in fact, it's more the opposite. He's got the added overhead of running a business, which entails maintaining a corporation license and filing corporate tax returns, and in return its single employee - him - is making a measly $14-15/hour if you average it out over 2080 hours per year. And it's not making enough to pay for his health insurance.

If you were a venture capitalist, looking at that business, how much would you be willing to invest to purchase it? A business's value is based on what assets... a name, employees, property, an established list of clients? Which of those things has any value in this case? Its name has no historic value worth preserving; it's worth about as much as the employee is - it's his name, after all. The employee could, if he wasn't a complete waste of carbonated sugar water, probably quit and start making significantly more money (plus benefits) just about anywhere else. It's not a business where you necessarily anticipate a lot of repeat customers, so its client list isn't exactly a gold mine, and it has almost no tangible assets whatsoever - maybe a vehicle? It's damn near worthless. And that's before you even begin to consider its debts.

Starting completely from scratch would be a better investment than purchasing his business, and he agrees, too, because he filed for bankruptcy!

I like to consider myself an enthusiast of knowing the political ideologies of the lolcows. There is a whole spectre of autism there. For those patient enough for reading Greg's exceptionally long Tweets, what really makes this guy a conservative? Because for what I saw this guy is literal controlled opposition that is only a conservative in name

He thinks that the taxes are too high and he doesn't like them. Although, given his bankruptcy, it is rather easy to surmise why he might feel that way.

If she had a good employment discrimination case, I wouldn't think that she'd have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find a decent lawyer who'd be willing to accept her case on contingency.

My point was that he may have agreed to take a smaller cut, which would mean more money for her in the case that she wins.

There's always the possibility that she's an idiot as well and that her good job position was the result of nepotism or some idiotic affirmative action policy than as a result of merit. The fact alone that she's hired Greg here suggests that something is going on because when people who should be smart start behaving foolishly it bears some explanation.

I suppose another possibility is that she is smart and qualified but her case has no prospects and any lawyer worth a damn won't even take it on contingency because they know it's a hail marry at best. In that case the only kind of person who would take a case is someone who can't find other work and will play whatever long odds they can manage.

Is it worth the risk of him fucking up her case?

If she wins, she's probably going to win a pretty good chunk of money. Paying her lawyer $25k instead of $10k will practically be a rounding error.
