How much is $50k in legal money? Are we talking a game changer or enough to cover lunch?

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

He doesn't really need the money for the legal bills. His family has a good bit of money. But the gesture is nice and the money could be used for other things if they don't use it.

Maybe a 3D printer. To pursue his hobbies.

You know that young man Luigi — such a good maker AND such a good taker!

I know he comes from money. But I thought he was kind of on awkward terms with them. Are they actually supporting his legal defense?

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I haven't heard of any trouble between them? As far as I understand it they hadn't spoken for a few months but were worried and are helping his defense.

More than lunch, not a game changer.

Imagine $325-$500 an hour (I know this is general and broad).

I'm guessing (completely without any knowledge) that it buys more lawyers able to work on the case.

I'm also curious what it really does.
