moron.
It’s a nice little scam. Too bad he’s got no chance.
What I find to be most disheartening is not the ridiculousness of the lawsuit, but the fact that when I saw the dollar amount of the lawsuit ($500 billion), given our current debt of $14 trillion+, it no longer seems like a lot of money.
Dear Arkansas Man,
By virtue of this comment – publicly viewable by you and therefore deemed to be delivered – I hereby confirm an agreement between us that I get half of whatever positive settlement you receive. You have 3 days to respond if these terms are unacceptable, otherwise you will be considered to have agreed to them in full.
