The complaint read more like a screed about everything that's wrong with America than a sincere attempt at obtaining relief.

That said, I'm a little bit sympathetic to the Rule 3-9(b) thing in this context. Even if he was serious, who would take the plaintiff's side of this case on contingency?

As an aside, I think Aaron would make a great plaintiff's lawyer. Combative, self-righteous, with a ton of "burn things down" energy. This is not a negative aspersion on his character--I think it's quite admirable in a way...

I know I would take this case on contingency if the Plaintiff would agree to Amend the Complaint to Qui Tam. I could not just do it though, I would have to be admitted Pro Hac Vice. I imagine any other Plaintiff's attorney with experience in Qui Tam cases is thinking the same thing.
