screwing all of the victims yet. The bribed the Plaintiffs Steering Committee (PSC) who were appointed by the Judge (his buddy's) with a 600 million "Common Benefit Fund" that the PSC gets only if the bull shit class action goes through to completion with the majority of the claimants agreeing to be in the class action. We opted our clients out of it only to have the Judge twice send letters to our clients to encourage them to opt in by filling out the form included with the letter and returned in the postage paid envelope. We were not even told of this or sent a copy of the letter. Now they won't agree that we properly opted our clients out of this one-sided piece of crap that is denying 75% of the claims submitted and paying a fraction of the actual losses. Out of 3,000 failed business claims they only paid 4 and denied the rest.

Our Justice system is just like D.C., totally corrupt!
