What about any other claims, i.e., other companies that they defrauded (even if they are no longer in business) or their lawyers ( are they being paid out of that 15. I guess I'm wondering how long any possible pay out might drag out. I don't know for sure in a case exactly like this but normally this kind of thing drags out for months or longer while the lawyers keep running up their bill. Fairness would dictate otherwise but we are talking about lawyers after all.
