Awwwwwwww the Taliban is so worried about Tate

Quote

Members of the Taliban are "worried about Andrew Tate" and are "asking us if he's free yet," according to Sameera Khan, a former Miss New Jersey turned "anti-woke" journalist.

Khan said she took part in a "Twitter space with the Afghan Taliban" to "discuss the detainment of Andrew Tate", an American-British influencer who was arrested in Romania on December 29, along with his brother and two Romanian nationals, and charged with human trafficking.

"They are worried about Andrew Tate and they are asking us if he's free yet.

And now Tate's car collection has been seized

Quote

Romanian authorities have seized the car collection of misogynistic social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan.

It comes days after the 36-year-old self-avowed “success coach” was arrested as part of a human trafficking investigation.

Romanian authorities seized the car collection, estimated to be worth over five million euros, as well a number of buildings including one where the brothers lived and allegedly held six young women, according to a local news report.

A Buggati Chiron, a Rolls Royce, two Ferraris and a Porsche were among those seized, according to Romanian outlet Spy News.

A law firm partner in Ohio is out of a job now after getting mad at an associate for using maternity leave.

Quote

A story in three acts… told over three days. A text leaks from senior attorney Jon Dileno bashing an associate for interviewing for a job while on maternity leave (“collecting salary from the firm while sitting on your ass“). Law firm releases vague lip service statement about turning this “into a positive” without hinting at an apology and characterizing the message as a “heat of the moment” mistake. Managing partner apologizes and announces that the author of the text is no longer associated with the firm.

Perhaps yesterday afternoon’s statement from Zashin & Rich managing partner Stephen Zashin foreshadowed the evening statement declaring that “[a]fter careful consideration, Jon Dileno is no longer with Zashin & Rich” and apologizing to the former associate who dealt with all this. Perhaps the contrast between that message and the earlier “heat of the moment” statement is indicative of the first message landing with a thud.

Either way, the firm has now taken some concrete action in response to this.

But this tidy three act play deserves an epilogue. As explained yesterday, the firm didn’t necessarily need to part with Dileno. There was certainly an argument for that, but the firm could also have approached the response by announcing a reprimand with teeth, unveiling new, specific training and management protocols, and pledging donations or pro bono initiatives. And, of course, apologizing without trying to minimize the incident.

You would think a senior attorney in a labor and employment shop would know enough not to stick his foot in his mouth but I guess not.

Two founders of a new law firm were caught on email being racist and sexist assholes.

Quote

Two prominent attorneys who recently led a mass exodus from a top Los Angeles-based law firm engaged in racist, misogynistic, homophobic and antisemitic language about their clients and colleagues at the company, according to a review of internal emails released Monday morning. They resigned later in the day, according to Reuters. 

John Barber and Jeff Ranen, two longtime members of the Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith management committee, made offensive remarks about Jews and Judaism in emails, which their former firm shared exclusively with the Forward. The firm released a larger tranche of inflammatory correspondence from the attorneys targeting other groups, which was first reported on by the New York Post on Saturday. 

Barber and Ranen, who served as chair and vice chair of the employment law department at Lewis Brisbois, defected last month to start their own firm and took some 140 employees with them. The pair claimed it was the largest law firm start-up in U.S. history, and that they left the company they were affiliated with for two decades without “any baggage.”  They also  expressed their desire to “build something that’s reflective of our values and our beliefs.” 

The internal emails going back to 2012, however, reveal the two cultivated a culture of bigotry and disparagement. 

 

 

Yeah their new firm was having none of that. 

Quote

John Barber and Jeffrey Ranen resigned after the firm requested their resignations, Barber Ranen CEO Tim Graves said in a statement on Monday.

The article also mentioned that the new firm is going to reorganize into a new firm.  I wish Barber and Ranen could have their licenses suspended.

Los Angeles County decided to part ways with Lewis Brisbois

Quote

The County of Los Angeles is ending its relationship with Lewis Brisbois after the law firm released racist, sexist, and antisemitic emails from two of its former senior partners.

LA County told Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith June 16 that it will get “no new matters from our office,” county counsel Dawyn Harrison said in a statement Monday. The county also will review matters the firm is currently handling and decide whether to switch to other outside lawyers on an “individual case basis,” she said.

Harrison did not directly address the emails released by the firm in early June. The messages showed a pair of former partners who led a mass exodus from the firm in May using racist, antisemitic, and anti-LGBTQ remarks over the course of more than a decade.

“Our office expects that law firms with whom we contract actively promote and practice inclusion, diversity, equity, and anti-racism, and treat everyone in their workforce with dignity and respect,” she said. “It is critical that firms handling our most sensitive matters are empathetic to and compassionate toward the constituents we serve,” she said.

Good.  I'm glad the county isn't throwing taxpayer money at this firm anymore.
