The news about the Toronto arrest set off a chain reaction at Mr. Dreier's firm, with some partners announcing they were leaving and starting their own firm, including a 10-lawyer patent-law group, a team of bankruptcy lawyers and Dreier's matrimonial group.

One litigation partner said he spent Saturday packing up his personal effects. "Bank accounts have been frozen; they're shutting our BlackBerrys down on Monday," he said.

So no, Jillian, you're not the crazy one.
