No, I’ve seriously got it made. Yahoo! also just paid me another $8.12 a few days ago. Now I can almost buy a burrito!

The hilariously low joke amount from the movie is BARELY less than the actual settlement amount.

I’d sell your Mets stock. Can’t be long before they go bankrupt with these payouts happening.

I remember reading years ago (2010?) from a lawyer who declined to get involved in a class action law suit against a car manufacture (Honda or Toyota?). The lawyer wanted to file in Small Claims and wanted other people to do it as they would get bigger pay outs and it would cost the car manufacture more money through litigating numerous law suits.

Yeah the only winners in class action law suits are the lawyers. The only losers are the customers.

I don’t want to brag but there was a class action lawsuit against blue cross blue shield for market price manipulation. Blue cross settled. I had 7 years worth of claims and received $17

You trying to ruin my moment bro?

Haha I hate to be the ‘new money bragger’ type but when you come into possession of an unexpected $17, it’s hard to act like you don’t care.
