I don't think the (alleged) lie that dogie said is relevant to anything. What dogie paid to his attorney is between him and his lawyer. It is also not uncommon for attorneys to work on contingencies in that they do not get paid unless they win (and/or settle in their favor) the case and collect on the judgment.

I believe that the primary issue that dogie is owed a substantial amount of money from Spondoolies-Tech, as well as the fact that Spondoolies-Tech took substantial amounts of money under questionable circumstances.
