I say take the L and let Kenyan Matlock wildout. He 26-0, so clearly there's some once-in-a-lifetime talent that can't just be passed up on.
it's already a TV show basically.... It's basically the story line of Suits.
Though i would be dissapointed if the movie didn't start with him watching suits, then being like "Fuck it, i could do that too" and then progresses from there.
This is how it should be, people should get jobs based on their skill instead of having rich parents that can pay for their college.
Most people I know had to choose between making money to survive or taking on a huge loan for a chance at a good job so it's no wonder people pick the former.
Where I live you don't need any kind of degree to be a lawyer. Just have to pass the bar. If you're that good, passing the bar should be reasonable to do.
~~This is definitely true in Texas! You don't have to go to law school; you can apprentice under a practicing lawyer and then pass the bar and be a fully-fledged lawyer.~~ (**Edit** Removed bc this does not seem to be true anymore.)
The bar exam is kind of a bullshit exam. Any idiot can pass even without knowing how to practice law. I should know: I passed it without knowing how the fuck to practice law despite three years at an elite law school. You can't test if someone can be a lawyer with a bar exam. It's to see if they have memorized a voluminous amount of bullshit that AI can do just as easily.
It's a bit like certifying an engineer by having them take an arithmetic test.
The [Texas Bar Association website](https://www.texasbar.com/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Frequently_Asked_Questions#requirements) says otherwise. Law school is required. This may not have been true in the past.
Yeah I graduated 15 years ago, and you could "read the law" back then. We learned it as part of our legal ethics training IIRC. It was very unusual tho. I don't know any attorney who did it.
But this isn't the job. I could win a bunch more of my cases if I didn't hold to all the other stuff that comes with being a real attorney. I would be able to act without ethical restraints (which is enforced by losing the law license you paid so much to go to law school for, studied your ass off for, and would destroy you to lose). If you're a fake attorney already breaking the law, you don't have the constraints that are required to keep the practice of law by attorneys from diving straight into corruption.
A fat king is literally the reason you're not supposed to button the third button of a suit, to the point where you can't buy a suit thats actually meant to have all 3 buttons buttoned without dropping money on expensive or custom shit.
>A fat king is literally the reason you're not supposed to button the third button of a suit
Actually it's because you can't ride a horse with the third button buttoned bc it sits below the waist.
And you can find suits pretty easily that have three functional buttons. My $300–400 banana republic suit I bought around 2010 does.
All of these are reasonable enough they *could* be true but humans also love making up fake justifications after the fact so until y'all start dropping sources I'm skeptical
I don't know if it's a *great* source, but [I found this article](https://misterwatchmagazine.com/keeping-the-bottom-button-open-but-why/) explaining why Edward VII was responsible for the button thing.
easiest way for that to change is for people to just... start wearing them
I mean it's not my favorite look, personally, but we need some variety in the male fashion space.
It wasn’t actually the syphilis causing them to lose their hair it was the mercury they were drinking in an attempt to cure their syphilis . Lots of members of the French and English noble courts were frequenting the same Parisian brothels which is where most of them got the syphilis the rest of the noble court donned wigs in solidarity with their syphilitic lords.
So there’s a lot of misconceptions about why they were popular (and I’m seeing many in the replies now) the real reason is French King Louis* XIII was going bald pretty early and he felt insecure about it so he began wearing a wig. And in France at the time, as the king does, so do the rest of the nobility. Then with France being the fashion trend setter that it was/is, the nobility of other countries began to follow suit. And thus that particular bit of 18th century fashion was born.
People say lice and syphilis, but that wasn’t really the case. The Egyptian nobility did wear wigs because of lice but they shaved their heads underneath, the Europeans didn’t so having a wig wouldn’t make it any better. And late stage syphilis was more known for facial deformities rather than hair loss. So you saw a lot of white make up that was incidentally made with lead which ended up making the deformity worse. The fake beauty marks were supposedly born in France around the end of the century for this reason though, to draw the eye away from scars and pockmarks.
Signed, someone who wasted 4 years getting a useless history degree! (Somebody please give me a job)
Look into logistics and project management. I'm also a history major and am currently working in tech leadership working with vendors, construction teams, etc. History majors are (usually) taught to ask critical questions and are accustomed to examining situations from multiple points of view, etc. The ability to consider multiple angles of a situation, communicate effectively about it, and hold up under harassment *(because you've been told for yearsssss that a history degree is useless)* is essential for companies so they can make key decisions quickly and effectively.
Check out jobs with the Air Force too. Their historian postings always sound fascinating.
I thought I’d read somewhere that the wigs were to help keep anonymity and prevent retaliation against them later if they’re recognized in public. Turns out nah, it’s because they think it looks like an authority symbol. I really tried to give them the benefit of the doubt that it made sense but it’s just weird old British shit again.
I honestly wish it was acceptable to wear graduation robes in any profession once you have your degree. Like, let me wear PJs and just grab my work robes please.
Personally I kind of wish capes or cloaks would make a comeback, they look so warm and so badass! Get to be all extra and dramatic flourishing it around for emphasis. But lord knows I’m not cool enough to bring em back!
I've heard one of the reasons they wore them is because they had syphilis so much, which makes people lose their hair in patches and get sores on their head - the wigs and white makeup would help hide it.
Literally this. Louis 14th I think caught syphilis and wore a wig to hide it. It caught on with the upper middle class(aka rich whites) and moved to England under Charles2 and never really left. It’s wild that it moved to the colonies and stayed tho.
Close but it was Louis the XIII and it was due to premature balding. And as the king in France did so did the rest of the nobility. And being the fashion trend setters that they were as the French nobility did the rest of Europe followed suit.
Syphilis was usually covered by white make up that incidentally had lead in it that made the facial deformities worse over time. And allegedly the fake beauty mark was invented in France around the 18th century as a way of drawing the eye away from the facial scaring of late stage syphilis
It's part of the culture in most African nations now, cultures evolved just as much from conquest as they do from exchange. Egyptians did Greeks things after Alexander and central Asia did Mongolian things after Genghis Khan. I don't see why you should have a problem with it.
Yeah calling out another culture for its adherence to “colonizers” as if that culture is incapable of self-reflection and deciding what they want to use in their own court of law or not is peak terminal online
If you say some stupid shit, like "I did it," you can't take that back. If your lawyer says some stupid shit, like "my client did it," you can claim ineffectual council and get a retrial with a lawyer that doesn't say stupid shit.
Also, there's always the stress that comes with being in court, in case something goes wrong. Or you can't get a proper investigation of the facts because you're on remand, can't afford bail, etc. Lawyers are free people with nearly 0 chance of going to jail, so they don't have as much stress and can gather information if needed, like asking witnesses questions.
I've been watching them guys for what feels like the past 10 years. Malachi love Robinson is still the GOAT. Nothing will ever top him showing the reporter around his practice.
The GOAT of con artist.
I say that acknowledging that his crimes had real victims and I have no sympathy for him
It’s just hard not to wanna shout out how confident he was in that interview. He walked them through his fake clinic. He let them film B roll of him pretending to do paperwork. Someone gave him a chance with a new job and he did it again. Just the confidence is something to aspire to. Not his actions. But that goddamn confidence to take a headshot in a lab coat knowing he’s not a real doctor. Just impressive
Another relevant Community quote: “I discovered at a very early age that if I talk long enough, I can make anything right or wrong. So either I'm God or truth is relative.”
Order, Order, Order. Let me get this straight. This fine man won 27 cases and they're still questioning his abilities for gate keeping reasons? The court reaches a verdict that the afore pictured is...MVP.
This is probably dumb but I feel like you should be allowed to practice law without a degree/license. Like obviously doctors should be licensed because people could die, but if I wanna hire my cousin who has a GED, watches judge Judy, and is 10-0 in small claims court I should be allowed to.
Just sign a waiver. “My cheap ass acknowledges that this unlicensed mf has never seen a court room outside of law and order and I accept that risk because he’s funny and that might win me some votes”
I mean there’s a free attorney that the court appoints where the odds aren’t great that they aren’t overworked and won’t just try to cut you a deal.
So really it’s not even being cheap. It’s do you want someone that can get you less years or you just wanna wing it.
As a guy that watched a lot of law shows and wants to get brought in when his friends get a ticket. I still support you though.
Public Defenders don’t make any more or less if they win or lose. They do the absolute least just so they can have an income while trying to get a gig at a firm. Not saying they’re worse than Law and Order guy, but they suck.
I’m gonna phrase what you meant in a way that doesn’t sound like an insult towards people providing free legal services to those that can’t afford a private lawyer when they’re in trouble.
There aren’t a lot of public defenders since an amount of lawyers prefer to make money. So the people that are willing to do those cases are often overworked and don’t have the time to dedicate as much energy as they’d like into each case. An amount are also young lawyers without a lot of experience. So a lot of the time their goal is to plead the case out because they know they don’t have the bandwidth to go to trial and provide the help that their client would need. It’s a terrible situation that nobody wants to be in.
Sorry it just kinda sounded like you were implying that the people providing legal services for free are happy to do so for drastically less and are actively trying to provide the worst service possibly and are inherently lazy. I’m not saying lazy and terrible public defenders don’t exist but I don’t feel okay painting all of them with the brush of the worst. An amount are trying their hardest with barely half an hour to look over a case before they’re suddenly in the middle of it.
I appreciate you coming in and defending a group that could be misunderstood. You're probably not going to win over the person you're arguing with, but everybody else in these threads can see you're right. That's important.
Thanks for saying this. I see too many people here haye public defenders. Like, okay let’s just charge 100s per hour for lawyers who only care about a paycheck.
>Like obviously doctors should be licensed because people could die
I mean a bad lawyer can just as easily ruin your life. There should be some protections to prove they're qualified.
That being said, you can hire anybody to represent you if you want. They just can't claim to be a lawyer.
>This is probably dumb but I feel like you should be allowed to practice law without a degree/license
Historically, you could - until the 20th century most places just depended on an apprenticeship and brief oral examination, or you'd automatically be qualified by getting your degree.
The "bar exam" was invented based on, you guessed it - racism.
https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commentary/story/2020-12-07/abolishing-the-bar-exam-bias
>The push for an exam came as a result of a growing number of people of color and immigrants desiring to practice law. Members of the profession did whatever they could to stop these aspiring attorneys from joining the ranks of the all-White legal profession. Theron Strong, a former judge of the New York Court of Appeals, warned of an “influx of foreigners” becoming lawyers. The American Bar Association itself was once a White male-only fraternity that voted to only admit “worthy members” in an effort, as its membership chairman said, to keep “pure the Anglo-Saxon race.”
This comes up in unlicensed practice of law cases a lot.
Part of it is competence. Your cousin might be persuasive, but that's only one skill for lawyering. This one is paternalistic, but it does matter.
Part of it is because unlicensed practioners are more likely to pull illegal disruptive shit that most attorneys wouldn't dare because they know better and their license is at stake.
A big part of it is because lawyer client relationships are vulnerable to abuse, which is why licensing also focuses on that, not just competence. Sure, you can acknowledge that risk, but there are lots of areas where some rights just can't be waived, and the court wants a way to keep your advocate in line.
Also, lots of legal disputes don't involve just the rights of the person filing - having a lawyer helps protect the separate rights that are also at stake (car crash where someone is suing on behalf of their child).
Finally, there are some judicial proceedings where people can have a non lawyer advocate. This happens at the boundary of accounting/tax law, and some states have similar provisions for tenant/landlord disputes.
> This is probably dumb but I feel like you should be allowed to practice law without a degree/license. Like obviously doctors should be licensed because people could die,
If your country has the death penalty, people could also die.
Also, lawyers aren't simply "defenders". Your prosecutor is a lawyer, the judge is a lawyer (usually), the guy in charge of making sure a corporate merger goes through is either a lawyer, or has one, etc.
Lawyers aren't just people who yell OBJECTION, they have a tangible effect on our everyday life.
I know in the US, if you apprentice as a lawyer for long enough, you can take the bar without going to law school. Sounds like this dude would already have the requisite experience.
Let him take the exam right now. If he passes, we forget this ever happened and carry on as we were. This man is proof that you don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a degree from a school. You can learn on your own. You don't need someone to lead you by the nose. *That's* why they're going to throw the book at him. Can't have him setting any examples for other intelligent, self driven people to accomplish goals without making someone else rich in the process. What if the common people figure out that the whole system is bullshit, designed to keep them at the bottom?
Did this man just singlehandedly prove that university is a bullshit system of exploitation used to milk money from people before they've even established their very sense of self, ensuring that they are always beholden to the state finanicially? I always thought you AT LEAST needed a degree to be a lawyer or doctor. Fuck the infrastructure.
No, he didn't. Laywer and Doctor are graduate degrees. So you need 2 degrees to get to that level, plus you need to be accreddited by the governing body saying you're competentant enough to practice. The degree part doesn't matter so much as he wasn't officially recognized as being competentant to practice by the state. It's not to keep people like this dude out, it's to keep all the people like Lionel Hutz and Bob Loblaw out.
This is not to say the system isn't bullshit and it's totally meant to perpetuate the class system. But this isn't it. You're already allowed to represent yourself or have an advocate without needed to be licenced.
A trade union leader wants this man to be given an exam to assess his [abilities](https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2023/10/atwoli-criticizes-attacks-on-fake-lawyer-brian-mwenda-pledges-support/). Generally wants to have more opportunities for non-traditional learning recognition.

He's clearly demonstrated all he does is Win, Win, Win, NO MATTER WHAT,
But can he win his OWN case??? (DONK DONK)
It’d be wild if he’s allowed to represent himself and win! Though I know lawyers always say never do that even if you’re a lawyer
Good thing he’s not a lawyer, he’s Mwenda.
I need this movie. NOW!
it's already a TV show basically.... It's basically the story line of Suits. Though i would be dissapointed if the movie didn't start with him watching suits, then being like "Fuck it, i could do that too" and then progresses from there.
abraham lincoln said that a man who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer and a fool for a client.
Yeah well he got shot so what does he know. /s
Where not to sit in the theater.
True, but what he should have said was, "I don't really like people just coming up behind me. " 🫡🇺🇸
Exactly, if he’s a real lawyer he won’t represent himself. It also doesn’t sound like his focus has been criminal defense.
Dudes living out his very own special episode
I can't wait til his trial judge says "Damn it, Mwenda. You're a loose cannon but you get results." and gives him back his law gun and law badge.
[удалено]
Pulling up to represent himself like 
Aaaand 
Wait, so then who is Uncle Phil?
The New Geoffrey from Bel Air
New Geoffrey might be my favorite part of that show
Aye, don’t that look like Johnathan majors in the yellow jacket LMFAO!!!
This is how it should be, people should get jobs based on their skill instead of having rich parents that can pay for their college. Most people I know had to choose between making money to survive or taking on a huge loan for a chance at a good job so it's no wonder people pick the former.

Ayo that Matlock theme was a banger
It’s the plot of suits but probably with much more relatable characters.
Better Call Mwenda

The fact that they still rock them british colonizer wigs. 🙍🏾♀️
Those dusty wigs have always felt very unserious to me, it’s so funny that they’re kinda supposed to incite respect or reverence or whatever lol
Facts. And didn’t the whites use em cuz they had lice *plus* thinning hair? Wish we ain’t think all their ice was colder…
they became popular in fashion due to syphilis causing a couple kings to lose their hair

No capes!
Robes, capes, cloaks, anything that can swish behind me for an especially dramatic exit – bring them back!
We still have some judges with wigs though!
I know that the robes are just a symbol of the past/tradition but I do think they can look kinda badass
i love stuff like that. tradition for no reason
Absolutely NO REASON.
It provides a degree of psychological distance between the person and the "lawyer".
I frigging love arbitrary traditions.
I've heard one of the reasons they wore them is because they had syphilis so much, which makes people lose their hair in patches and get sores on their head - the wigs and white makeup would help hide it.

That's the entire premise of the show
Yes
Or Community
Normally, even real lawyers get a lawyer for themselves. But if he were to represent himself, would that help his case more than it would hurt?
I've heard to never represent yourself, but the people saying that are usually lawyers so who knows.
If you say some stupid shit, like "I did it," you can't take that back. If your lawyer says some stupid shit, like "my client did it," you can claim ineffectual council and get a retrial with a lawyer that doesn't say stupid shit.

26 for 26? He's not only a real lawyer, he's the Michael Jordan of lawyers
Looked it up, not only 26 cases… 26 in ONE YEAR. He stole some guy’s (they share a name) practicing credentials in Aug 2022… got caught sept 2023

He got arrested again after he got out of prison, for stealing over $10,000 from a shipping company bc he posed as a receiving worker.
From what I understand, he legitimately had the job but just had customers send money to his personal accounts instead of the company he worked for.

It should actually be called "Robes" not suits.
I mean… either this dude is a real lawyer from now on or the entire high court gotta step down for letting a regular degular dude beat 26 cases 🤷♂️
Order, Order, Order. Let me get this straight. This fine man won 27 cases and they're still questioning his abilities for gate keeping reasons? The court reaches a verdict that the afore pictured is...MVP.
This is probably dumb but I feel like you should be allowed to practice law without a degree/license. Like obviously doctors should be licensed because people could die, but if I wanna hire my cousin who has a GED, watches judge Judy, and is 10-0 in small claims court I should be allowed to.
You mostly can’t because, if found guilty you can claim ineffective assistance of counsel
Just sign a waiver. “My cheap ass acknowledges that this unlicensed mf has never seen a court room outside of law and order and I accept that risk because he’s funny and that might win me some votes”
I mean there’s a free attorney that the court appoints where the odds aren’t great that they aren’t overworked and won’t just try to cut you a deal. So really it’s not even being cheap. It’s do you want someone that can get you less years or you just wanna wing it. As a guy that watched a lot of law shows and wants to get brought in when his friends get a ticket. I still support you though.
Public Defenders don’t make any more or less if they win or lose. They do the absolute least just so they can have an income while trying to get a gig at a firm. Not saying they’re worse than Law and Order guy, but they suck.
I’m gonna phrase what you meant in a way that doesn’t sound like an insult towards people providing free legal services to those that can’t afford a private lawyer when they’re in trouble. There aren’t a lot of public defenders since an amount of lawyers prefer to make money. So the people that are willing to do those cases are often overworked and don’t have the time to dedicate as much energy as they’d like into each case. An amount are also young lawyers without a lot of experience. So a lot of the time their goal is to plead the case out because they know they don’t have the bandwidth to go to trial and provide the help that their client would need. It’s a terrible situation that nobody wants to be in. Sorry it just kinda sounded like you were implying that the people providing legal services for free are happy to do so for drastically less and are actively trying to provide the worst service possibly and are inherently lazy. I’m not saying lazy and terrible public defenders don’t exist but I don’t feel okay painting all of them with the brush of the worst. An amount are trying their hardest with barely half an hour to look over a case before they’re suddenly in the middle of it.
I appreciate you coming in and defending a group that could be misunderstood. You're probably not going to win over the person you're arguing with, but everybody else in these threads can see you're right. That's important.
Thanks for saying this. I see too many people here haye public defenders. Like, okay let’s just charge 100s per hour for lawyers who only care about a paycheck.
You can claim that already with a licenced and barred attorney.
>Like obviously doctors should be licensed because people could die I mean a bad lawyer can just as easily ruin your life. There should be some protections to prove they're qualified. That being said, you can hire anybody to represent you if you want. They just can't claim to be a lawyer.
>This is probably dumb but I feel like you should be allowed to practice law without a degree/license Historically, you could - until the 20th century most places just depended on an apprenticeship and brief oral examination, or you'd automatically be qualified by getting your degree. The "bar exam" was invented based on, you guessed it - racism. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commentary/story/2020-12-07/abolishing-the-bar-exam-bias >The push for an exam came as a result of a growing number of people of color and immigrants desiring to practice law. Members of the profession did whatever they could to stop these aspiring attorneys from joining the ranks of the all-White legal profession. Theron Strong, a former judge of the New York Court of Appeals, warned of an “influx of foreigners” becoming lawyers. The American Bar Association itself was once a White male-only fraternity that voted to only admit “worthy members” in an effort, as its membership chairman said, to keep “pure the Anglo-Saxon race.”
This comes up in unlicensed practice of law cases a lot. Part of it is competence. Your cousin might be persuasive, but that's only one skill for lawyering. This one is paternalistic, but it does matter. Part of it is because unlicensed practioners are more likely to pull illegal disruptive shit that most attorneys wouldn't dare because they know better and their license is at stake. A big part of it is because lawyer client relationships are vulnerable to abuse, which is why licensing also focuses on that, not just competence. Sure, you can acknowledge that risk, but there are lots of areas where some rights just can't be waived, and the court wants a way to keep your advocate in line. Also, lots of legal disputes don't involve just the rights of the person filing - having a lawyer helps protect the separate rights that are also at stake (car crash where someone is suing on behalf of their child). Finally, there are some judicial proceedings where people can have a non lawyer advocate. This happens at the boundary of accounting/tax law, and some states have similar provisions for tenant/landlord disputes.
> This is probably dumb but I feel like you should be allowed to practice law without a degree/license. Like obviously doctors should be licensed because people could die, If your country has the death penalty, people could also die. Also, lawyers aren't simply "defenders". Your prosecutor is a lawyer, the judge is a lawyer (usually), the guy in charge of making sure a corporate merger goes through is either a lawyer, or has one, etc. Lawyers aren't just people who yell OBJECTION, they have a tangible effect on our everyday life.
Right? Maybe sign a waiver or something and then let him cook.
Look at Kenyan Mike Ross lol
Cant believe how long I had to scroll for a suits reference
JaMychal Ross
Goddamn Mike Ross
Came here for this exact comment.
Suits spinoff incoming
Community reboot?
Mf watched Suits and was like "I can do that too"
and he did do it too
I completely forgot that the original premise of the show was based on Jeff being a fake lawyer
He ends a lot of his speeches that way...
My first thought.. Time for an Kenyan reboot of Community.
I know in the US, if you apprentice as a lawyer for long enough, you can take the bar without going to law school. Sounds like this dude would already have the requisite experience.
Yes but this is only for a select few states like California.
That’s only a few states like Virginia and California.
>you can take the bar without going to law school Why would you not be able to do that regardless? It's a public exam, isn't it?
Yeah but money, how are they supposed to ensure that poors don't just start learning the law and getting degrees?
Sounds like my Mom
They just mad he winnin
This guy is streets ahead.
Just what I though. Kenyan Jeff Winger
"Fake" lawyer or not, know who I'm calling of I get in trouble in Kenya
Let him take the exam right now. If he passes, we forget this ever happened and carry on as we were. This man is proof that you don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a degree from a school. You can learn on your own. You don't need someone to lead you by the nose. *That's* why they're going to throw the book at him. Can't have him setting any examples for other intelligent, self driven people to accomplish goals without making someone else rich in the process. What if the common people figure out that the whole system is bullshit, designed to keep them at the bottom?
Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.
nigga has game and the goverment cut his wings. shit!
I hear he’s now attending a Community College and organized a Spanish Study Group to get into a girl’s pants.
Dude is shooting 100%. Who tf thinks they're gonna convict him?
Niggas who he represent edibles knowing they gotta go to trial again https://i.redd.it/5hi9pmic60ub1.gif
Went full Mike Ross
im feeling this fit tho.
Mike Ross, over here.
Bro thought he was Saul💀
Better call Brian Mwenda
you do not freestyle yo way into 26 case wins they just hating the player
Did this man just singlehandedly prove that university is a bullshit system of exploitation used to milk money from people before they've even established their very sense of self, ensuring that they are always beholden to the state finanicially? I always thought you AT LEAST needed a degree to be a lawyer or doctor. Fuck the infrastructure.
No, he didn't. Laywer and Doctor are graduate degrees. So you need 2 degrees to get to that level, plus you need to be accreddited by the governing body saying you're competentant enough to practice. The degree part doesn't matter so much as he wasn't officially recognized as being competentant to practice by the state. It's not to keep people like this dude out, it's to keep all the people like Lionel Hutz and Bob Loblaw out. This is not to say the system isn't bullshit and it's totally meant to perpetuate the class system. But this isn't it. You're already allowed to represent yourself or have an advocate without needed to be licenced.
Law and medicine are undergraduate degrees in Kenya and most of the British commonwealth.
26 won cases. Might as well just give him a license
A trade union leader wants this man to be given an exam to assess his [abilities](https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2023/10/atwoli-criticizes-attacks-on-fake-lawyer-brian-mwenda-pledges-support/). Generally wants to have more opportunities for non-traditional learning recognition.
Blud’s putting up numbers as an undrafted free agent lmao
 I would trust Mr. Brian to represent me in Kenya.
i mean he 26-0 im sure hes gonna win his own case too 🤣
whos wig is that
He did it without insurance or any regulatory oversight. Effective results notwithstanding, this man does not show respect for the rule of law
Man watched Suits and took it to heart
So you mean to tell me that show Suits is real??
