Well, his case took a turn for the worse this week. Two law firms representing him resigned, the judge refused to postpone a hearing to allow his new lawyers to get caught up, and the judge ordered him to turn over computers and electronic and paper evidence."

Yea, that's pretty much what I'm saying. I'm wondering how much of a compulsive liar this guy must be if he honestly thinks he can forge an email trail. I guess it's worth a shot for a few hundred million dollars though.

A contract requires an offer, an acceptance, and consideration (exchange of value).
Well that is part of it, a contract must be for something that is Legal, and both
parties need the mental capacity to enter into the contract. Even Business Law 101
teaches that.
