In baseball - as in the law - it pays to do things in the right order.
Catch the ball before you throw it. Bat when it's your turn. And if you come to a fork in the road, take it.
That last bit of enlightenment comes from
The Great Yogi, who also said: If you don't know where you're going, you might not get there.

Unfortunately, several of these attacks were successful and hundreds of thousands of dollars were stolen and are very unlikely to be recovered. However, several attacks were foiled by attorneys and staff members who approached transactions with a high degree of skepticism.
