Carranza and co [sic] berated me, explaining that you have to pay BIG fees to get good lawyers.

I did not berate you, I chided you. I would never berate you, Mq.

In point of fact, however, my thinking changed after I saw how badly the legal team was handling things, esp. with regard to BRCM. I have been vociferous about these contretemps. They were a significant reason for my exit as a shareholder.

Still, good lawyering will be expensive. It always is. Expensive lawyering, however, is not necessarily good lawyering. This we know.

I am a relatively cheap lawyer by the standards of high-stakes IPR litigation, but even inexpensive lawyers like Stan and I [I shouldn't say that as I don't know his hourly rate] could clearly see the tell-tale signs of trouble well before it happened.

This thread should be mandatory reading for all Q management. Just think of the trouble that could have avoided if the Q bigwigs had taken business advice from you and legal advice from me.

Perhaps you and I can form a high level consultancy, make piles of cash together. We would market ourselves as strategic gurus, all-knowing and all-seeing. Simply do for a fee what we do here.

Why not? We provide a valuable service, gratis. Why not cash in on our wit, wisdom and experience? Everyone else has.
