The Nola staging accidents thing or the MMA stuff? Is there a 3rd?

MMA, which I would imagine was far bigger than the Motta scam.

I had 10-15 cases against MMA. Verbally settled about 8 of them on a Friday, then the attorney working the case resigned on Saturday

Was a nightmare.

ETA - my comment about the fraud is more about the fact that people keep spewing "JBE bad, Landry good" when it comes to tort claims in LA. I do not like JBE, but Landry could have made a huge statement by pushing the MMA stuff.

I know people who worked there. The feds will likely get them, but the state (more specifically Landry) could have done something there. Not sure if they had the means the prosecute them, but they could have gotten the ball rolling. Outside of Judge Cain in the Western District and Judge North in the Eastern District, it was largely ignored. There were civil penalties, but no criminal charges have been brought or even discussed to my knowledge.
