Roman gives the lawyer the money with a list of people owed, and the lawyer contacts everyone with a settlement agreement. If they want their money, they sign the settlement, and he mails out checks... why is that so fucking hard?
Perhaps the lawyer's bank won't allow him to deposit the check from Roman?
Seems crazy to me. It's from what, US Bank or something? Or bank of America, I forget. Go into Bank of America, and cash the check with hundred dollar bills and give it to your lawyer. Yeah, yeah, that won't ever happen but the whole thing seems a little crazy that his lawyer can't get it worked out for him. Pick a new lawyer.
If you are so sure it is that easy, make the agreement with your bank to be the disbursing bank and let it know how it goes.
I've never known an attorney on this planet that couldn't get a check cashed especially when a % would be his.
And yet, I have the sense you don't have 1 who will do this.
And yet, if I did, I'm sure me saying, hey mail me the check and I'll take care of it, I'm sure would work. Right... bitfloor doesn't seem to be suffering from a surplus of action. Rather the opposite, would anyone suggest otherwise?
Before you have an agreement from a bank that will take this check under these circumstances, you cannot know that it is easy, instead you are just spreading useless or harmful noise.
From these circumstances? The bank doesn't know the circumstances. All they have to do is take the check and send out the money to everyone.
What are they going to say "We here at BoA don't want you filthy money, Roman"?
Roman is living off our money right now and every day this waits is one less % of our money we won't get back. Roman is a liar and thief until he can prove otherwise by giving us our money back. There is nothing stopping him from sending us our money.
