I think that is a good possibility. Lekrone either was on the verge of bankruptcy or wanted people to believe that.

I found it quite interesting in the choice of law firm Leckrone selected to fight the Brown case which came up Dec 15, 2009. Binder and Malter LLP. Check out the attorneys there. They are all Bankruptcy attorneys. The firm specializes in commercial and consumer bankruptcy.

Dec 17, 2009 just 2 days later, TPL files suit against Marcoux and others but in that case he doesn't need to claim he's broke, so he used Ropes, Majeski, Kohn and Bently. I think there he wanted a firm that has good background on contracts.
