quote:MMA, which I would imagine was far bigger than the Motta scam.
The Nola staging accidents thing or the MMA stuff? Is there a 3rd?
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.

Every day I wake up hoping / expecting to see an indictment here.

Oh I know. Judge Cain did our local CLE for the 3rd year in a row and I meant to tell him it was like a 3-act play on MMA. In 2020, it was "well we just had some firm out of houston file 1700 lawsuits in a day" and in 2021 it was a summary of all the testimony they had given to him and other district courts, and this year it was about how they're having to unwind all of that.
I have no doubt there will be criminal stuff come out about that case. I read one of the attorney's motions to be re-admitted to the Western District and it was pretty crazy. I mean, even the first named partner ceased his relationship and left millions of other fees on the table to get away from Mosely.
I hate on Landry but I don't think he turned his back on that stuff. That case is just going to take some time to investigate (and the feds may be involved, usurping some jurisdiction from the LA AG)
