SCO paid BSF somewhere around $40 million up front to see this through to the
end. Law firms typically do not call anything profit until the case is
completely over, so they undoubtedly have what's remaining of the $40 million in
an escrow account earning interest. Even though their billings might show the
$40 million long gone, you don't think that they really pay their associate
lawyers $300.00/hour do you? Or their paralegals $15.00/hour? or whatever amount
they were billing for them, nor does it cost them whatever they are billing for
"copying charges" to actually copy a piece of paper in these days of
$150.00 all-in-one laser printer/copier/fax devices, plus all of the other
markups lawyers put into their billing. They've probably got a good portion of
that $40 million in that escrow account, and they can't count it as profit, so
it won't show up in their bonus checks, until the case is completely over.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Boies has no problem footing the bill for lawsuits out of his own
pocket. One only need review the gardner lawsuit to see that.
But that was personal, in a "you don't want to mess with me, I
can make your life a living heck" kind of way, against a weaker adversary.

| Footing the bills involves taking financial risk. This piece is
about him being willing to do that. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
