Clearly… Hinderaker was never an M&A lawyer.

Nuthin’ there — below the hat, it seems — nor above the full Windsor knot.

Equally clearly, he believed the Gordon Gecko character Michael Douglas played now 45 years ago — in a… fictional movie — was real. It was a fiction, John.

Just as you, John, would never recommend “A Few Good Men” as indicative (in any manner) of how a court-martial works… (but it is a fun “farce“!) stick to your lane. [But I guess it makes you a perfect match, for Musk — at M&A. Charming.]

What… exactly that lane might be… is not at all clear, in the last two decades.

He seems to actually know… so very little, anymore.

That’s what happens when an old lawyer is put out to pasture — since he didn’t find a worthy cause to volunteer for — he’s just becoming more and more… irrelevant.

Cheers.
