Investigative reporter John Stossel researched the process that led to left wing advocacy groups receiving compensation for major class action lawsuits. Below is a video description provided by Stossel’s YouTube Channel: Stossel TV:
So many class action lawsuits are scams. Look at this $62 million Google settlement. The lawyers handed out millions to leftist advocacy groups. They awarded themselves $18 million, while $0 went to the victims.
“That’s just not right!” says Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute President Anna St John. Her firm challenges class action settlements where lawyers make money, but the victims get nothing. “It’s a huge conflict of interest,” she explains. “Six of the attorneys or Google employees involved in the case sit on the boards or sat on the boards of the recipients getting millions of dollars.” Like the ACLU and other leftist organizations. But you know who got NOTHING? The victims! Lawyers win. Left-wing advocacy groups win. Most everyone else loses.
