"In effect, the responsible lawyers for a law firm conducting litigation before a court have refused to explain that litigation to the court on the grounds that doing so could expose them to criminal prosecution."
I'm not a lawyer, but what I took from that was that in this instance the Prenda Law guys were not being asked questions with relation to their role in the actual scheme. They were actually being asked questions in relation to their role as 'officers of the court' ie. as the lawyers for themselves that were involved in the scheme.
Oh what a tangled web they weaved...
