Gollum is a lawsuit magnet. Anybody with money who associates with Gollum for any reason needs liability insurance. Whether or not their pals in the black dresses eventually make them pay, they still need defense lawyers.
Look how Illinois taxpayers got soaked for $53,000 in attorney fees because of Gollum's alleged malfeasance. And that case never got past the first pleading motions. Somebody who actually knows what they are doing could run up a lot bigger bill.
Zurlini needs lawyers, the State of Washington needs lawyers, the Guggenheims need lawyers, the U of I needs lawyers, whoever is dumb enough to publish his nonsense needs lawyers, anybody else associated with Gollum needs a lawyer.
The publisher also needs to spend money on factcheckers and lawyers before they ever publish the thing, and they will get sued anyway. Gollum's lawyers need lawyers because they are likely to get sued as co-conspirators.
Every word Gollum types will put money in another lawyer's pocket.
