LML and RBS Settle Litigation
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/RBS-Citizens-Bank-Enters-Into-pz-461913926.html?x=0&.v=1
So there was someone in the know about something after all 
. After the lawyers get their cut its not a huge amount but given LML's market cap it is significant. I wish they would say at least if they are getting a royalty going forward (the lack of mention leads me to think not). My guess is any leak is more on one settlement could lead investors to think of other settlements and their are some pretty big defendants.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 31, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LML Patent Corp. ("LML"), a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of LML Payment Systems Inc. (the "Corporation") (Nasdaq:LMLP - News) announced today that RBS Citizens Bank N.A.
