Discovery will be fun for the plaintiff. I doubt very much that the defendants are looking forward to court ordered discovery and 3rd party subpoenas. The FUD you have been spreading recently has become comical.
I didn't miss the point the writer made. You're assuming discovery would be less damaging to the MM's than settling. Why would there be copycat lawsuits? Because they're committing illegal spoofing against other companies and not just NWBO?
