With attorney Rafool involved in the case representing the whistleblower Fischer, the stake are clearly higher. Widely respected as a top attorney and litigator, Rafool has been involved in high-profile celebrity cases, including winning a strong settlement for Linda Hogan in her divorce from wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.

He also won a large settlement for the ex romantic partner of tennis great Martina Navritilova.

As baseball unwinds its scandal, Fischer appears to be a central figure as a former investor in Biogenesis and someone with access to all the inside information.
