Style's thread

[Style]

Hassle,

Ever heard the saying 'Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted', there are a lot of legal issues for lawyers to go through in connection with the investigation. Waiting until charged (if charged) and appearing in court before engaging a lawyer is bit late in the day.

Bryan

BM;
Thanks for posting updates and your input and please know that most of us are behind you 150%.... but we do have a few questions that still need answered. Also please know that just because we have questions, doesnt mean we are trolls like a LOT of people like to say. It only means we are human with a mind of our own. Surely you understand that. Also, most of us are not in a situation where we could donate if we wanted to. Times are really hard on EVERYBODY.


OK....."IF charged" as you put it.......charged with what? We are pretty much being kept in the dark here. So can you please elaborate just a bit? WHAT would you be charged with IF you were charged with something? I mean PIPS is 100% legitimate correct? So there should be no worries of being charged with anything. I honestly think more people would be a little more willing to donate if we had a clue "why". (and not just for "PIPS defense fund....really why?) And honestly, what kind of attorney wouldnt take a case like this on a "no win no pay" basis? We are talking about handling a case for a BILLION DOLLAR corporation that is a household name ALL OVER THE WORLD BY NOW right? There surely would be a HANDSOME fee for them awaiting the ending of this hearing/trial if they were to win, not to mention the notoriaty, good lord, this is a career case for ANY attorney/law firm. Wouldnt you agree?
So I cant see why they would need to be paid upfront, unless of course they know they cant win......then I can see why they would want paid upfront. But having said that, if they already know in their hearts that they cant win.......then we need somebody else.....dont you agree?

These are just my thoughts and I am no troll. I am a 150% PIPS supporter who just has some questions........like many others.

This will probably get deleted soon, so I hope you get a chance to see it before it does.

Thank you again;
Style

Dont ask !! Just do it !!

We are sitting in the same boat !!

Maybe you would like to give us the money to "just do it" with? Maybe you would like to donate a little money for each of us that cant afford to do so since you are so eager to "just do it"?

Just donate my share under the name of Style, that will be fine with me...thank you.

Okay. You have made it clear that you can't afford to donate. That is okay. But why do you have so many more questions than those of us that are donating? We are just doing it. We are doing it in our own names. I have donated and will donate again this month. I will donate every month for as long as needed.

Why only a little each month instead of a larger lump sum? Because I live on a very limited budget. I am retired and get a check once a month. I am reserving a small amount each month for Bryan's LEGAL fund. I think that LEGAL Fund is the best definition. Defense Fund might have been a poor choice of words. Wer all speak different languages and splitting hairs on a word is a bit much.

Bumping past the aggression. Legal representation is a GOOD thing in any kind of legal battle!

I dont think one person on here has said that legal representation is a "bad" thing have they? But one has to wonder how much confidence this "legal representation"has in themselves if they wont work on a "no win no pay" basis on such an overwhelmingly HUGE case. If they show no confidence in themselves, WOW thats bad.
Just my opinion of course.

You are asssuming that exists in Malaysia. I can tell you that it does NOT exist in my country of residence. While it is the basis of attorney business in the US, not everything works the same as it does in the US, although most Americans would assume it does.

If you want an attorney here, you pay. No matter what the case and probable outcome. Contingency does not exist.

Sorry mezzy.

I have to agree with Suzanna, things are different in every country. In my country one has to afford several payments in advance as things develops. Besides, I think a very specialized lawyer is needed in this case, with knowledge in international trades, administration, etc. Sometimes, the cost of this is a percentage of the amount involved...
We don't know how things are managed in Malaysia. Would be great if anybody with knowledge could tell us.

Best Regards

You just hit on one of the biggest problems. Most Americans assume that things in other countries work the same as they do in America. They have a hard time understanding that the laws, rules and regulations, and procedures vary from country to country. People have to keep in mind that every country has its own laws and regulations.
