    It's the sort of thing I would have applauded in one of my former
    careers - a smart, well timed move analogous to putting all your
    assets in your wife's name so if and when you are sued, your
    applicants get 9 tenths of fuck all :)

    Which is exactly what I did, but I never got sued (for professional negligence).

    Avenatti's bankruptcy is described by the bankruptcy court as follows:

    "The whole thing, the judge said, "had the stench of impropriety."
    That didn't have anything to do with Avenatti's firm, necessarily, she
    said. She referred to Tobin as a "screwy small creditor," and
    questioned whether he had "some relationship with the firm that would
    have induced a collusive filing" or if Avenatti's firm "just got plain
    lucky that somebody filed on the eve of arbitration."

    For those who don't know (I assume Chris and Dave are across all this)
    - Avenatti is Stormy Summers' attorney. He is the one whose image is
    on the dartboard that Comrade Trump throws his darts at every night.

    As democracy is perfected, the office of the president
    represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the
    people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of
    the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the
    White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
