163	22	Statement of Facts	Pohl engaged Precision Marketing Group to provide PR services and liaise with clients. By 2014, Pohl had ceased securing additional BP oil spill clients. Precision gained access to Pohl's confidential information. In November 2016, Kassab purchased Pohl's stolen information from Favre for $250,000 plus bonuses and used it to solicit Pohl's clients to bring barratry claims. Two lawsuits (Brumfield and Gandy) were filed and both resulted in adverse judgments on limitations, affirmed by the First Court of Appeals in May 2021 (pending before Texas Supreme Court). After Pohl filed this lawsuit on August 28, 2018, Kassab obtained 242 identical assignments dated September 28, 2018, purporting to assign barratry claims. Kassab did not notify any courts of these assignments. Kassab testified the consideration was 'additional legal work and the opportunity to make the client's case viable.'
