Carl,

Maybe this is PM stuff, but is any of your Counsel talking about settlement expectations, or a time line? How about ALPA's ability to pay a judgement of the size anticipated in the Bensel litigation?

Talk about a conflict of interest. What about the legal fact that Bensel group needs ALPA to survive in order to get paid, while another client works to decertify ALPA, which will most likely result in the death of the defendant?

If all of this comes to pass ... Does the DPA have it's Constitution and Bylaws thought out yet? Are they on paper?

Just how strong a commitment on scope is the DPA willing to make?

It's nightmare scenario stuff we're seeing here. Figured DPA would have something to say given their proximity to events.
