ALL THAT GLITTERS

Frank Rubio Funeral Update: 



His funeral service will be held on Thursday, January 12th at St. Martha’s Catholic Church at 10am (9301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami Shores, FL 33138) with his burial to follow. There will be a reception to follow afterwards at the Miami Shores Country Club. 


 All that glitters is not Goldman.  

Goldman Sachs. 

Today was what was dubbed "David's Demolition Day" -referring to Goldman CEO David Solomon and the massive layoffs that have been rumored for months.  At the NYC headquarters, bankers- all  wearing the high end Canada Goose Puffer Coats  ($750 and up at canadagoose.com) - trudged out of the headquarters, their security access cards surrendered, and under the watchful eyes of a newly hired security force. 

Here is what caught our eye- in a cost cutting effort, Goldman Sachs, which made around 30 BILLION in profit in 2022 (that's not gross revenue, but the cream on the top of the coffee) ended free coffee on it's 11th floor employee lounge. Now the Rumpole Firm, which made slightly less than 30 Billion last year, sends out an Instacart order every ten days or so, stocking up on Keurig coffee pods, boxes of tea, and various accoutrements, including digestive biscuits and scones, and even fresh croissants on some days, so employees and visitors alike can partake in a repast when needed. 

So just how much coffee are they consuming at Goldman that they felt a need to end the freebies in the face of falling profits? 


NEW COURT ASSIGNMENTS 

Your favourite judge went where? Who went to civil? Who went to family? And who went to probate? Can't tell the players without a scorecard. So here it is... note there are NO zoom links in the update. 

Double note that we have refrained from our usual smary smart remarks that the listing "VACANT" on the list would normally cause us to engage in. Like for example asking "does that refer to their brain or their soul?" See? We didn't do that.

Rump rumor is that the palace will strip Harry of his titles Duke of Sussex, Earl Of Dumbarton, and Barron Kilkeel. Would you be interested in assuming some or all of those titles?

I think that’s a bit much for me. I’ve always had my eye on an OBE. Officer of the most excellent order order of the British Empire. That’s more my style and speed.

I for one would be in attendance if Sir Rumpy received the OBE.

Meh, Harry's story is not interesting. It's the Duke of Windsor all over again except that Harry is 4th in line for the throne with no actual chance of getting it where as the Duke of Windsor was actually the King. Zzzzzzzzzz

I cannot think of a time I saw Frank Rubio at the courthouse where he didn't have that big smile and a kind word for everyone. Sorry to see him go.

Heartbroken over this. Frank was a teacher and mentor, friend and confidante, great lawyer, husband, and father. May his life be an example for us all.
