In early 1969, Life magazine ran a shocking expose about how Fortas had received $20,000 and a promise of annual payments for the rest of his life, and payments to his wife after he died, by a wealthy person facing conviction for insider trading.  This scandal resulted in calls for impeachment, and Fortas resigned from the Court rather than be forcibly removed.  The law firm that he started, ''Arnold, Fortas and Porter'', refused to take him back and removed "Fortas" from its name.
