WC: So 20 years ago, a very infamous lawyer, John O'Quinn and I were meeting with a client, someone he actually went to church with who he and his friends owned, like 80% of the stock of the company. They could not understand how that many shares were trading every day, which exceeded the issue in outstanding shares of the company. It was a small cap company. Frankly, at that point I knew nothing about how this works, but I did know fraud. When I see it, as did Mr. O'Quinn, who I think got an $18 Billion settlement against the state of Texas against the tobacco companies. Likewise, our firm does many things and has gotten verdicts and stuff against others for other things too. But this is a passion of mine because I believe and I'll start out telling you this and I'll end up telling you this, that this could truly create US economies and world economies if it's not ultimately addressed at some level.
