True story, Icky had a case very early on which wound up with him suing a company that hadn't been sued before. Turns out this company had a very icky past. They paid Icky's client a lot of money. Client died, spouse got an estate lawyer who had the client sign a retainer that included a percentage. When spouse talked to Icky, she realize her rice too wet she fuck up. She fired the lawyer.
That estate lawyer stopped doing estates after that and went into the business of signing up these types of cases. The estate lawyer could now buy Axe Capital using em's couch change.

I almost worked for a referral machine years ago. The model was mass marketing, keeping choice cases (high damages, low complexity) in-house with a small staff of lawyers, and sending out all the other stuff. You're right. The guy who ran the place never practiced for real. Just monetized the license. Don't think he had private jet money, but probably close.
