Her scheme of using Howard to secure funding for a pro-bono firm to help those failed by the legal system might not pan out, and she might go to prison for a number of years, maybe? Please don’t die, Kim.

It’s not greed, though. She’s not using the money for herself, she wants to use it to do right by the people who are continually failed by the inadequacies of the legal system she’s disillusioned with!
