Some of Mr. Wise's lawyers responses were downright hilarious. Definitely got a good chuckle reading all of that.

Ohhhh snap, I posted the dinosaur photo again.......Louis Tompros and Christa Laser are probably adding another $500 to Clayton Morris' bill as we speak.............Just make sure you two collect your legal fees up front. Rumor has it Clayton Morris has a tendency to flee the scene when it comes time to collecting monies owed.

@James Wise - Wilmer Hale is a firm from my home area and are one of the top firms in the US. Their attorneys are bright and the firm is very well connected. They're also awesome at intellectual property. What that means is:

1. Ms. Lane has to be on her A-game at all times (from what I read so far, she's kicking butt). 

2. Given that this suit seems to be rather frivolous, you can smile in knowing that he's burning through $$$. I wouldn't be surprised if Ms. Laser is billing him at $700-800/hour. Though it would be better if that money was going back to some of the victims.

Keep up the good fight @James Wise.  Although I wouldn't wish this nonsense from Clayton on anyone, it's a great lesson for what not to do as a business owner.  I also feel bad for everyone that was duped, and hopefully there are a lot of lessons that can be learned from this whole situation.  Until then, looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

P.S. The pictures are hilarious.

The amount of Clayton Morris information and Morris Invest internal documents you guys have been sending to me over the last 24 hours is great, keep it coming. Signed purchase agreements, damning emails from Clayton Morris etc... This is all very important for the case. Love seeing BP nation come together like this.

No such thing as free speech. I know businesses that have asked for Google reviews to be taken down when they don't shine the light in that businesses favor
