I'm pretty sure the opposition is crapping their pants with S&G representing us on contingency alone. Let me see, S&G has beaten Google, Microsoft, Apple etc... in the past. We have a lawyer just instated that was in a case with Bayer. I'd be a little worried if I were them. They better settle quick before S&G really gets pissed off and they have to pay 3x. I don't see a way out for them except settlement and take the hit and move on.
Message board to them is the last thing I would look at if they are looking at losing billions.
Wine is wearing off, I'll stop binge posting now.
