I brought a class action suit against Sharp and I was the class representative. They settled. The judge awarded me a whopping $1,000 from the settlement money. From the time I put into it, including 3 or 4 full days in NYC because my deposition coincided with a snowstorm, I didn’t exactly come out ahead financially.

Obviously this is different for the reasons you stated, but I didn’t want people to think bringing a class action lawsuit forward is a way to get rich. It’s a bit of a joke, really.
