Well, for one thing they won't get the time and money that they waste on him back. There is also the distraction that he is causing by insisting on interviewing everyone in upper management, including the entire board of directors, most of whom have never been involved in the slightest with ebooks. BTW, it's been a lot more than 13 hours, in his first two weeks he's charged $138,432. Of course, part of the problem is that he has zero experience in anti-trust or publishing, so he's having to hire someone else who has experience in anti-trust. One might ask why Judge Cote would appoint someone who has zero experience in anti-trust to monitor anti-trust compliance, certainly Apple is raising that question. It's not terribly surprising that Bromwich is acting like a special prosecutor on a fishing expedition given that _is_ what he's most experienced in.
