Look I’m as jaded as the rest, like everyone. I’ve seen mass manipulation to promote bullshit wars. I graduated in 2008 and I am still told to shut up and say thank you to the banks for paying back taxpayer loans with interest that bailed them out of their own fraud and let them consolidate the market. I saw the CDC initially lie about masks to allegedly preserve supplies for healthcare providers. I saw the government take trillions in future taxes and mostly give it to businesses and for the FED to leverage into even more money to prop up the stock market (hey, all time highs again mid pandemic).
Still, for all the BS lawyers get, much of it deserving, for every lawyer behind the brokers/investors/funds there are others representing the victims. These are the types of lawsuits that include egos so big that sometimes discovery of emails/communications and the prospects of sitting for depositions result in a resolution, and even change.
It’s funny you mention the army of lawyers, because many of these cases have been consolidated and one 1 Zoom hearing were 141 lawyers…they represented the plaintiffs.
