Mr. Groia is a big deal, no doubt about that.

There was a big write up (two articles) about the "SHARK" Joe Groia in the Globe and Mail today. One is here:

Mr. Groia’s conduct ... is now being examined by a three-member disciplinary panel of the Law Society of Upper Canada. The legal regulatory body accuses him of “uncivil” attacks on prosecutors from the Ontario Securities Commission. If found guilty, Mr. Groia could face anything from a reprimand to the ripping up of his licence to practise law.

On Tuesday, Mr. Groia sat quietly in a sober blue suit, taking notes as Tom Curry, the lawyer for the Law Society, outlined the case against him.

Mr. Groia said the [Bre-X] case had already cost his career dearly. In addition to the $2-million in legal fees he says he is still owed in the Bre-X case, his fight with the Law Society could end up costing him $1-million in legal fees and lost revenue while he concentrates on fighting the charges.

So, given the excerpt above:

1. Does Mr. Groia really have the time and energy now to work with the CSC?

2. Do we need to raise funds for Mr. Groia's own defense?
