I think that tone would have brought a lot to this discussion. He could have made fun of RMTers in general and Nordenwatch in specific in his usual style and been a lot more effective than this rabid dog bark approach.
I made a poop analogy. I'm not sure how much more light-hearted it gets. Regardless of what you may think, I accomplished my goal in this thread. I made a poop analogy.

As far as real life consequences for Nord's actions -- it's not outside the realm of possibility if he's being honest about his chosen career. Lawyers, even those who specialize in criminal defense, are held to a character standard -- despite what the posters here have learned from watching The Good Wife and Judge Judy. Has Nord reported this income accurately? I don't know, but I find it hard to believe he has. Someone suggested he's probably reported it as a gambling windfall or the like. Well, if he has, he's lied on a tax form. People get disbarred for this. That's real talk. I know it flies in the face of everything we learned from Arnie Becker, but it's true.

And I'd hesitate to say Nord possesses attributes which suggest he'll do well in life. Frankly, his actions suggest a lot of myopic thinking -- EC Tunnel-vision, if you will.
