I seriously doubt they needed the funds to get more attorneys on board. Most attorneys work on a contingent, getting paid with a portion of the settlement if they win and getting nothing up front. Given that Smartmatic has both OAN and Fox dead to rights and looking at the results of Dominion's suits I'm sure Smartmatic has attorneys knocking on their door wanting to get in on this.

No unfortunately this is corporate America and the legal profession at their worst. They want the money and will give the crooks the benefit of not having to apologize in exchange for more money (much of which comes from insurance policies). Dominion didn't do much better accepting weak ass statements and a big ol' pile of dineros.
