Oversee will pay to make this go away as they have done countless times in the past. No way they want to go to court. Too many skeletons. They really ought to consider holding their next domain get together in Stockholm in tribute of the apparent fact that the bulk of the clients they serve seem to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

My take:

So right now the “class” under this future lawsuit is owed about $500k, including the interest Oversee.net offered. With that in mind, the lawyers are going to have to get class members more than Oversee offered them, otherwise they should-opt out.

I don’t see a lot of legal fees from this one, even if they get Oversee to settle. Seems more like a building block to go after bigger fish in the future.

Is this the law firm who is/was representing the guy who lost $20?

Give me a break.

Andrew,

I think there was a typo in your article.

Didn’t the lawyer mean to say

“Our perspective is those were great first steps but a bit more needs to be done to fully compensate MY LAW FIRM and restore confidence.”

Fishing for a settlement is all these guys are doing.
