The lawsuits already happened. Back in the early 2000's, two brothers from Utah tried to force Marshall to hold a shareholder meeting, hoping the shareholders would vote for a new management group to take over the company.
Marshall in return, spent whatever money MZEI had left from the Latino settlement on lawyers (Pinneger) to file a lawsuit against the brothers and 12 "John Does".
Add to that the legal fees spent on screwing contractors over the years, including the guy who designed the faster ozone generating system, the law firm of Jones, Durhum, and Pinnegar were gainfully employed over the years.
