I didn’t understand the ‘losing it all’ angle both you and the article talk about. By doing the right thing he lost a (bad) client, used up a favor from Mike and the ill-gotten cash he seemed to be saving up for the nice place.
But he did seem to solve the situation at hand without ending up (so far) in jail or in the hands of violent criminals, is in good terms with someone he cares about personally and professionally and still has his modestly paid bingo lawyer thing and the ‘guy from TV’ reputation going on. What did he sacrifice?
