This man couldn’t believe what these cops were doing. 👀


MMAT MMTLP TRCH NBH ⚖️ Estimated Legal Spend – FINRA (Meta Materials Bankruptcy Only) (⚠️Not legal advise) 💰 1. What FINRA Itself Says (Baseline) From its own declaration: •E-discovery (one-time): 👉 $457,000 – $556,000 •Monthly hosting: 👉 $13,312/month •Data scope: 👉 ~4.9 million messages 👉 ~2.56 TB ⸻ 🧾 2. Realistic Cost Breakdown (What’s Missing from Their Filing) FINRA’s numbers focus mainly on vendor + review costs, but exclude major legal spend 👀: 📊 A. E-Discovery Vendor + Review (their estimate) •Collection / processing / review: 👉 ~$500K •Hosting (12 months): 👉 ~$150K ✅ Subtotal: ~$650K ⸻ ⚖️ B. Outside Counsel (Squire Patton Boggs-level firm) Typical rates: •Partners: $800–$1,200/hr •Associates: $400–$700/hr Estimated effort (1 year of litigation + briefing + hearings): •Motions to quash + replies + supplemental briefs •Hearing prep + appearances •Coordination with multiple parties 👉 Estimated: $500K – $1.2M 💰💰💰💰💰 ⸻ 🏢 C. Internal FINRA Legal + Staff Time Includes: •Office of General Counsel •Investigators •IT / data teams •Compliance personnel 👉 Conservative estimate: $250K – $500K equivalent cost 💰💰 ⸻ 🧮 3. Total Estimated Spend (Bankruptcy Only) CategoryEstimated Cost E-discovery (vendor + hosting)$650K Outside counsel$500K – $1.2M Internal staff / legal$250K – $500K TOTAL$1.4M – $2.35M+ 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 ⸻ ⚠️ 4. Key Insight (This is the Real Story) FINRA is arguing: “Production is too burdensome and expensive” But the reality is: 👉 They have likely already spent $1.4M – $2.3M+ 👉 just to resist producing the data 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 ⸻ 🧠 5. What This Means Strategically 🔥 Important distinction: This is NOT about: •whether costs exist (they do) This IS about: •whether the burden is undue ⸻ 💥 Key contradiction: FINRA has already: •Conducted keyword searches across millions of records •Quantified the data precisely •Built cost models •Litigated extensively across multiple filings 👉 Which shows: The data is identifiable, accessible, and manageable ⸻ ⚖️ 6. How a Court Typically Views This A court will not punish a party for spending money, but it may note: 👉 If a party can: •litigate extensively •analyze the data •quantify the burden Then: 👉 targeted production may not be “undue” ⸻ 🎯 Bottom Line •Estimated spend (bankruptcy only): 👉 ~$1.4M to $2.35M+ •Core takeaway: 👉 The dispute is not really about cost 👉 It’s about control of sensitive internal records 🤐🤫🤐🤫🤐

Our roads in America are crumbling A huge 8 foot by 4 foot hole is found on the I-64 into Illinois It’s on a bridge, the driver almost hits it. He walks over and looks down the hole, you can see the road way below He quickly leaves fearing he may fall through The pavement crumbled, leaving only the steel grid support structure visible I looked more into this and Illinois Department of Transportation did covered it with a steel plate as a temporary fix until it’s repaired This is what happens when our tax money isn’t spent on infrastructure and instead endlessly launderer to NGOs and back to politicians
