And isn't that the truth. 1.3 Million dollars for 6 months work is a life changing sum. You can literally do anything you want at this point. Pay off your house, buy a nice car, invest the rest in stocks and bonds and then whatever the fuck you want for work going foreword. He could have kicked it as a small town lawyer just taking cases that interested him, or maybe even started his own firm.
He never had to stream again. Hell, if he was careful he probably wouldn't have had to WORK again. Once the house is paid off and you have 1 million in the bank, you can live pretty comfortably off of just dividends and return on investment.
Instead he blew it all on hookers and blow. A literal fucking meme lord.
He didn't even have the house to pay off.
His house is owned by the trust. His other house he could have rented out.
All he had to do was keep his shit together.
Ok big trials like Rittenhouse and Depp don't come along everyday, but Nick had a good formula down. He was never a very good lawyer, but before he became a mumbling incoherent ranting alcoholic he was a decent host.
He knew how to get good guests, lawyers who were much better at knowledge of the technical aspects of the trials than Nick, but Nick was a good host, he could keep them on track, he knew what the viewer and the laymen would likely need explaining, and how to put the right questions and keep the show on track.
He had it fucking made.
And for a guy like Nick who obviously didn't like real work, it was perfect, he got to stay at home and work from
his studio the Balldo Dungeon, all he had to do was keep his shit together.
That 1.3 million if he had invested it properly, put it in property or whatever, it could have made sure he never had to work again, or at least
pick what he was interested in.
But what Nick was interested in was his animal lusts and base vices.
He's a fucking Untermenschen, a slave to his lowest urges.
He pissed it all away.
And now he's not gonna be remembered as the "Law Pope" or the guy that made online legal streaming mainstream.
He's Lord Balldo.
He's a fucking joke and his legacy is a ridiculous sex toy for impotent men and a broken home.
