He Did a Chargeback against his lawyers

From the EDVA release, he did a chargeback against his lawyers fees for defense in a chargeback fraud suit.

I can only imagine what the lawyer was thinking when taking payment via American Express on a chargeback fraud case. It must have been something along the lines of being required to accept the card for payment while knowing this isn’t going to end well.

also, how did he still have a valid Amex card at the point where he was being sentenced for defrauding Amex?
