What's the gangsterest thing you've ever done?

When I was in my twenties I had a large company sue me. They had a valid reason to, but the amount was in dispute. I did all the paperwork to answer the suit and the discovery. I tried twice before going to trial readiness to get them to settle, but they were going to show me. I think their hard-on stemmed from me coming into a bunch of money. This dragged on for months and I was kind of in over my head, but never showed it. I spent a lot of nights learning about how this shit works. They would never produce a contract with my signature and the day came for trial readiness. I think they were suprised I showed up. They flew these two lawyers in from hundreds of miles away hoping for a default judgement I assume. The judge asked if I was will be pay the fees for a jury trial and I said sure and that's when shit unraveled. I was likely costing this big company too much money at this point and they still couldn't produce a contract. About two hours later the whole mess was settled for the cost of their plane tickets, hotel room and the suit was dropped with prejudice. The end result was not bad for a community college student.
