As long as enough of their victims are scared into settling, they still win. My guess is they don’t care if they lose. As long as enough of their victims are scared into settling, they still win.

A blogger friend of mine had to take out a loan to pay these people off. Is there ever a point where these people get sued back so hard they are bankrupted? Where they lose their liceneses for filling frivolous lawsuits?
