Very informative. Thanks. I'm late to this party. One

question, which I didn't see covered in your summary: I read something(maybe here) suggesting that Swarbrick may have been counsel in a settlement that was challenged by a lawsuit filed very recently (I think sometime in 2017) by someone claiming that the earlier settlement was fraudulent, etc. And then I read something that only 4 people knew of that settlement. Does that ring a bell with people who have followed this more closely? Can anyone fill me in on these details? As with many others who have posted here, I make no accusations. I'm trying to determine as many facts as possible in order to reach my own conclusions.
Last point - am I correct in inferring from some of these posts that we're talking (among other things) about the crime/fraud exception to the attorney client privilege?
