“This case is an example of guerilla warfare through litigation. The Baums brought this suit to satisfy their illusion of hidden funds or to extort deals for their other clients. These claims were fraudulent. Once instituted, the Baums maintained them with singular ineptitude. When asked to explain their case — or anything else — Brian and Sheldon Baum did not tell the truth.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The Baums have wasted the time and money of the defendants and the scarce resources that the taxpayers entrust to the judiciary. They have flouted the authority of this court — an authority they invoked. They have no concept of the purpose and function of the courts. They must compensate, and they must be excluded.”
