i think you will find seeing their assets are frozen, they wouldnt have the money to pay a lawyer. And NO lawyer would act against a large corporation without atleast some money up front, as the case can be dragged out extensively by said corporation to try and bleed the defendant dry of funds in an attempt to make the defendant submit. If you defend yourself, it renders this well known tactic inert.

Remember this is a civil case at the moment. Not criminal.

This being said. We all pay fees to institutions like this to "manage" our money. If they cant do it in a safe accountable manner, they shouldnt charge the fees. And human error is no excuse. They are required to have safeguards for transactions and these safeguards are meant to be internally audited. If their safeguards arent working, and their auditing isnt finding problems, once again, why are we paying the fees.
