Much as I hate to do it, but a few words in defense of the lawyer cretins. Class
action suits
start as separate suits by individuals. There is an original plaintiff or group. If it
appears
that there have been a large number of people injured (?) the suit can be enlarged to
a class
action suit. The courts require plaintiff's lawyers to find as many of the class as
possible.
This is a requirement of the courts, not lawyers shopping for clients. That's the
reason you
find them advertising in newspapers and tv. The point is that at the bottom of the
mess is an
investor or group of investors planning to blame Caldera for their own stupidity.
