Given how poorly written that article is (and how he has no control of his client), its not clear that Neil is actually a real lawyer

Despite our sometimes fervent wishes, lawyers don't control clients. We are not puppeteers.

Matt has also claimed that you or someone else on his legal team has signed off on his posting. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41726834

Is that true or false?

So what you're saying is that you "fervently" think your boss should shut up because he is giving his legal opponent fuel for their case against his extortion and other charges? And that he's making you write things that you don't understand or particularly agree with?

I promise you, your integrity (or at least your license to practice law) are worth more than Matt's sinking ship. I hope you can move on to do something meaningful with you practice

No, that's not what I am saying. Nice try with the leading question though.

he's never going to move on to anything meaningful, he's fully cooked

If lawyers only had perfect clients, they wouldn’t have clients.

(Analogously, If software engineers only worked for perfect companies, companies wouldn’t have software engineers.)
