I have wondered that myself.
I did some poking around a couple of weeks ago, and his name is connected to TUC in several different ways, and also appears in connection to some business and professional associations in ways that suggests he is not necessarily a hack.
So why hasn't he loudly and publicly distanced himself from this slow-motion train wreck?
There *might* be issues of client confidentiality, but client confidentiality doesn't obligate a lawyer to sit by in silence as the lawyer's name is publicly linked to a criminal enterprise.
It's also possible he doesn't know what's going on, but it's highly unlikely that he hasn't yet been contacted by either law enforcement or a news media.
So it's largely inexplicable.
