Among other things, they argued that it included a success fee for Cataphora, which is illegal for non-attorneys to receive. They also claimed the clause stating that the original fee was nonrefundable had been added at the last minute without proper notification.

So are we supposed to believe that these defendants didn’t know that they were supposed to read the contract before they signed it? You would think that they would come up with a better defense than that. If makes they look like incompetent fools.
