A former client of Johnny’s law firm and an old university pal, Tim wasted little time in impressing Johnny and Elaine with his fancy suit and expensive taste in drinks. Tim’s arrival came as Johnny mooted a new business idea. Having been fired for drunkenly messaging a business proposal to his entire clients’ list (including his boss), Johnny was intrigued when Tim got in touch.
