    Anyone expect this self-appointed consumer advocate to go after big banks next? . . I thought not. I’m guessing he’s not the Martin Luther of the B School.

    And it looks like this lawyer (he’s got a JD) misread Massachusetts law:

    Greg: He’s the whole package:

    Edelman is also a handsomely-paid consultant — Bloomberg Businessweek wrote this year that he has drawn $800 an hour to conduct research for investors.

    As recently as October, Edelman attracted attention for an article on how Google had gradually eliminated the colored shading that once identified ads in its search results.

    But he’s faced questions about how his writings relate to his business. Businessweek wrote that Google said in 2011 that he was biased in his research on that company because he has done work for Microsoft.

    Now we know why he needed that refund from the restaurant.
