Yeah I read about it. I guess it's not illegal for a lawyer to advertise on TV so I don't know why things like that are pointed out.
I read about the suit and understand that its ongoing. I guess the courts will decide and if they wronged their clients they will pay dearly for it. As I understand it these were the original owners and now are only perhaps minority owners.
I just don't like the tone of the article which painted the whole group with a broad brush as if they were all despicable criminals, lumping everyone together under this so-called dark cloud.
