A former lawyer, I was curious to hear their pitch. It was basically: we get you cheap lawyers, and we help them find new clients.&lt;p&gt;I asked if all of their lawyers are based in the US, and they couldn&amp;#x27;t give me a straight answer. Eventually, when I said &amp;quot;well, of course they must all be US-licensed lawyers, right?&amp;quot; they said &amp;quot;oh, yeah, they must all be in the US then.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;It was not a confidence-inspiring conversation, and I can&amp;#x27;t say I&amp;#x27;m surprised that they&amp;#x27;re shutting down.</text></comment>

He then went through lot of thoughts on meaningful life and such kind of things in his tweets later. Would that impact the performance &amp;#x2F; outcome of Atrium?&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;justinkan&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;1191821878567915520&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;justinkan&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;1191821878567915520&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
