Was his head photoshopped on someone else's body?
His arms look weird too.

something? Were the ladies speaking Spanish talking about his pointy head? Just seems so odd that he would go off on them for speaking a foreign language to one another when his firm advertises their language skills. Not excusing him - just curious as it makes no sense.

9. that was more than a year ago

I was thinking that the guy was having a psychotic break, falling apart, going off on "foreigners" (that is, New Yorkers) because he was literally going mad and getting paranoid.

But this video was more than a year ago, and it was just like the one with the two women-- he suddenly verbally assaults and then threatens to call the authorities with utterly no provocation.

So it's not, you know, the two-week descent into insanity we do sometimes see. This guy might be crazy, crazy mean.

Well, he's going to be the new Skreli, hope he enjoys it.

Gets cornered (and hides in an umbrella) by press, later get's taped in court (leaving and saying nothing).

NY Barr association says he is Not a member.

And he is no longer welcome in the building where he rented an office for his legal practice.

Maybe NewsMax TV will help him out and give him the Jesse Watters role to Bill ORielly in his purported new show.

Perhaps couldn't pass the bar and decided to fake it? If true - dude has some real hurt heading his way.

16. Wonder why the NYSB is denying his association with them?

Link to an LBN item with the NewsOne link.

Of course this all went viral so fast - as is often the case sometimes it takes a couple of days til the dust settles to get a more clear picture.

17. You don't have to be a member of the NYSBA

to practice law in NYS.

You have to pass the bar examination and be admitted to practice. However, there are many bar associations and you don't have to belong to any one of them. You do, though, have to keep your registration through the Office of Court Administration current.

20. Thank you for this information.

Sometimes it is hard to tell what is "interesting" vs. what is "click bait" vs. what is "really important." Don't know, yet, which this is - but it isn't as significant as it sounded per being able to practice in NY. Though it seems "interesting" given the claims that (at least before the incident) he claimed this affiliation on his website, while apparently didn't have the affiliation. Thanks again for the context.
