Yeah, it's just a coincidence. However, I do know a little about this case, since I did my DD before loading up on CCTC.
The Soffins are sue happy individuals who would slap you with a lawsuit if you looked at them cross-eyed. I'm surprised the rest of you seem unaware, since they've been mentioned in this forum before.
The Soffins love to roll the dice... or is it play poker?
Yessenia Soffin was the former director/president of the now defunct Poker Pro Media/ISocialMedia.
In 2013, she filed a couple of questionable patent applications which concern game monetization and conflict methods for games such as virtual poker through the use of a digital image/avatar. I can't imagine these will be granted, but crazier things have happened... Remember when Microsoft patented the push button?
Online poker was shut down in the US in 2011. It appears Poker Pro Media became ISocialMedia. Alas, Soffin was no Zuckerberg, and ISocialMedia appears defunct. Gotta pay the bills, so what do they do? Sue Facebook and eChannel Network for $75M for trademark infringement! Case closed and dismissed by Judge Marra.
The Soffins lost their shirt on CCTC stock. They obtained the stock in a private transaction and were prevented from selling it before it nosedived. So, they contracted with a legal firm, Morgan & Morgan, to sue the pants off CCTC. Morgan & Morgan realized they had a loser, so they failed fight CCTI with the necessary vigor. What do the Soffins do? Drop Morgan & Morgan, and sue them for legal malpractice for $333M. Yes, three hundred and thirty three million dollars! The case is still on going.
Now they finally have their long awaited jury trial against CCTI... They could win millions... or crap out and go home broke.
Given their history, I will be SHOCKED if they are awarded anything other than laughs from the jury.
