LOL at Boyd=genius, maybe once, before mental illness and psychiatric drugs addled his brain, but at this point, he's a semi-coherent, rambling, bipolar piss drinker living on stakes/handouts. He wrote all his brilliant legal strategy about how he was going to beat this, and then they took him to the woodshed in court. The money, 34k, is dick to Malmuth to send a message, and highly effective if he doesn't want to see all his books ending up on scribd or other sharing sites. Boyd dinking some tourney isn't out of the realm of possibility either, thus he has a small % to collect. Certainly not a barrel of monkeys, but for a geeky stat guy he has done pretty well for himself in business, particularly when having to keep his freak Sklansky on a leash. I think he can come off as a condescending douche, and I don't agree with all of his actions, but I like what he did with Boyd just on principle.
