if you don't think so, lets see some links to some court proceeding transcripts of successful cases that were filed....  |
You are right to a point.
But if you have hungry attorneys out there working for Steve on "contingency", then some shit will get done. These guys are not in the business to work their asses off and not get paid.
If this gets played like a numbers game, like it seems it is, people will be paying up. All people? No way. But i think enough to keep it going.
As far as arm chair lawyer, i finished law school. How about you?
But with this subject which is very broad and very "wild wild west", i feel anything can happen either way.
But you got to admit, you got to throw serious respect to whomever is heading up this charge.
Steve, good luck with your thread and your argument, im out the door to Disneyland
