Several years ago, Clanton, Mississippi lawyer, Mack Stafford (Law Offices of Jacob McKinley Stafford, LLC) started a class action suit against a chainsaw company, Tinzo, for defects that maimed four clients.
Mack promised his clients a large payout…..then for three years…..nothing happened.
A phone call with a lawyer from New York City ended with the promise of $5 million to settle the Tinzo lawsuit as long as everything remained a secret.
Mack jumped at the chance and promptly:
Got rip roaring drunk
Fired his Secretary
Decided not to contest his wife’s divorce proceedings
Filed for bankruptcy
Then……
Oh to see what happens you can read this fun short story. 🙂
