You have to go through 8 years of court sitting stress for those $3 million. From that perspective it is a sensible sum.

And the way I see it, somebody has to fight injustice. Otherwise laws are meaningless. This guy did it, and that is his reward. We all benefit.

I would like to see you take on a lawsuit against a multi billion dollar corporation. Do you think it would be a piece of cake?

The guy turned down $15 million 2 years ago. How can you not see his motivation?

It has nothing to do with "fighting injustice" and everything to do with winning some unreasonably excessive courtroom lottery.
