You're right, in that we all took the gamble at some point on this play. Mine was when I decided to hold through the merger and accept the restricted stock.

Besides, I still have more than a double at this point.
But, I don't believe an attorney would get anywhere with this situation, regardless of how many shares one held. Better not to blow one's hoped-for profits on his ridiculous billing hours.
