538	67	IV.M. Willful and malicious misappropriation (MNT #16)	Jury unanimously found willful and malicious misappropriation by clear and convincing evidence. Kassab filed grievance and copied news outlets and DA — evidence of malice, not mere procedure. Kassab involved in drumming up seven failed grievances against Pohl; filed another even after knowing prior grievances were meritless. Publicized unreviewed grievance to TX AG, Harris County DA, Houston Chronicle, Texas Lawyer, and Bar President candidate — unprecedented. Kassab secretly purchased client files under guise of phony expert agreement; lied to jury about nature of contract despite federal judge calling it purchase agreement. Indemnified Favre against disclosure claims — demonstrating knowledge of breach. Kassab attacked Pohl professionally and personally beyond mere misappropriation.
