(14,861 posts)He's raked in a fortune from them. He also had a few rich sponsors who put up much or all of his cash bond, any remainder coming from those same right-wing fans.
This is probably why he's making no effort to abide by the terms of his release from jail. All of this money has come from strangers. It won't cost him or his family penny one if the bail money is forfeited.

(43,049 posts)Los Angeles civil lawyer John Pierce has been at the forefront of the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, who is accused in the shootings during protests in Kenosha this summer. Pierce has also worked to help secure the $2 million bail for Rittenhouse, who was bound over Thursday for trial.
Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger cited public records and news reports in his motion alleging that Pierce has significant personal financial difficulties and should not be allowed to represent Rittenhouse because money that should be held in trust for the defendant may instead be used to repay attorney Pierces numerous creditors.

@Popehat
Protip: hire an attorney who does not talk about himself in the third person and who does not see your life-on-the-line case as an opportunity for flailing self promotion.
John Pierce

John Pierce freed Kyle. John Pierce fought with every fiber of his being for Kyle. John Pierce wants nothing but for Kyle to be acquitted and live a healthy, happy life. John Pierce is ferociously loyal to all of his clients, including all former clients. Mission accomplished.
