Good catch! From the agreement document: "“Class Representative(s)” means each and all of the named Plaintiffs in this Action: Free Range Content, Inc., Coconut Island Software, Inc., Taylor Chose, and Matthew Simpson"

So that clause means that the plaintiffs will get up to $5,000 on top of what they will receive as claimants, and there is no such limit on claims (but the total payments will not exceed 11 million, including attorney and class representative compensation).

Some publishers lost over $1 million I think. After the fees and lawyer cut, I don't think much will be left. The $11 million is a reduced figure. The initial figure probably was enough to cover all payouts and fees.
Great to know! Here's to hoping they pay out the entire amount I'm owed.

Thanks, Guys!

If I were you, I would expect to receive literally pennies on the dollar.

Attorney fees will eat up a significant chunk of that $11MM.
