It is outrages that some would deny them repayment for their cost in money and time in order to honor the person who caused the lawsuit and lost. ALSO they did not request the money THE JUDGE ORDERED THEIR RECOVERY!!! To attack the POA Board is like saying why punish hero's..Wow hard to ever think about? Was it poor judgement that caused the suit or was it greed. I am not smart enough to decide which is right..As the great sportscaster said.."you make the call".  |
The 6 that received $50,000 profited from the lawsuit. The lawyer fees were paid by the settlement. What other cost did they have which warranted such a large fee to them? Just like other class action lawsuits, there are only a few who profit.
