latest comment from The Alchemist, 29/06/2025 10:22: He made his HW very attentively. He knew he stood no chance of the PN ever welcoming him back. He's one of the most successful criminal lawyers, building everything from scratch. He has brilliant and analytical mind.

latest comment from Anne R Key, 29/06/2025 15:19: This guy is so full of sh..t, it boggles the mind. Is he not aware of the abuse almost ever non lejberite has to endure at his workplace?
