The unimportant news thread

I'm not certain how that would work...whether or not they would have to split their settlements equally?

A quick NPV calc would almost certainly show that selling claims to large investors would be the better financial move for smaller firms.  The alternatives are handling it solo (too expensive) or joining a class action.  If there's a global settlement, then the rules of the settlement would govern reimbursements.  I'd take 40% today without blinking.
