Why is he "scum" b/c you don't like him? Its must stink to be so miserable that you label someone scum b/c you don't like him.
I bought a lawnmover that I was told had a certain horsepower. If the companies lied about the horespower, its seems like the corporations are scum. Thanks to the lawyers for pointing this out and risking their own money in suing and getting me some cash back. I'm glad that the companies have to pay out lawyers fees and I'm getting $ back after getting ripped off.
If you want to label him scum for cheating, that's a different issue. |

-it does seem like many corporations are "scum"
-generally speaking: lawyers do not risk their own money
-once the companies pay fees, its our turn to pay (every time we do business with that company) |

If the companies didn't settle, the lawyers would loose any $ and time put into the cases. If there was no case, they wouldn't settle. |

He's scum for cheating and for making his money extorting companies in the name of protecting John Q Public.

Sure your the miserable one, your always insulting people. I believe that you said you even enjoy doing that. I would guess you don't have many friends. Atleast, my once a month passes, yours seems permanent. |

Sometimes it's cheaper to settle. Happens all the time. |
