You're not playing with us?  You're okay with going from being the richest Canadian lawyer to being the poorest?

I'm still going to post here, but with close to a billion$ in his bank account, will Berkut even recognize us??  :P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Wait, we need to properly plan this. If you try to visit me at the same time I try to visit you, it may not work that well. :D

Current estimate payout is 930 million before taxes.

So if we win, that means it is worth about $7,200,000 per share...

Exactly.  After taxes, assuming Languish wins, I'll be sitting on somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 million.  More than one share is silly.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Not if you buy a share.  Well, maybe a couple of shares.

:yeahright:  Who needs $25 million when you can have $5 million?
