Does their lawfirm’s IT not have enough competence to say buy a new flash drive (or 20) for every set of data you need to hand off to a different parties in different court cases for discovery.
Can’t a half way competent law firm just add $1000 for 20 Flash drives as a billable item?
Or are the lawyers and/or Alex Jones trying to do things on the cheap?I presume we’re not talking about petabytes of data here, just terabytes?
Or are there standards, certified vendors, etc, based on the jurisdiction that drive up the costs?
You get what you pay for?
Whoever was managing the data transfer didn’t pay attention to the transfer size, what was being handed over, and then when the plaintiff lawyer indicated that there was stuff that he wasn’t originally entitled to in this forum (setting aside that he was entitled to the Jones specific stuff in discovery that Jones refused to cooperate with), Jones’ lawyer didn’t respond in the time required, so the data came into the free and clear.
That’s what’s mind boggling - they didn’t bother to check what was handed over and realize that this was the whole fucking shebang. And when notified of what was done, they didn’t do anything to rectify.
From the sound of it - this would have happened no matter the process involved - dropbox, flash drives, etc..
