He’s got some financial backing to consider suing the media.....will be interesting to see if he does.
If he can’t find a really good lawyer willing to take this on a contingency basis he should rethink the whole thing. If a professional who really know this stuff isn’t willing to invest his time and money in the case for a big payoff at the end, then why should you be willing to invest your money paying on an hourly basis?
If he has a good case he doesn't need financial baking. Lawyers will take the case on contingency.
