This is an ad so I flagged it. They're fishing for info but the bait is fake. If there was only 1 victim, they could get $5k, but there are too many people. Whenever a lot of victims obviously exist for something, courts will reject the individual cases and tell them to do a class action. They know this, so this law firms ulterior motive is showing a list of victims and then looking for one perfect token plaintiff to represent a class action suit, and be the star of an 18 month court process. This form is just a waste of time. Just wait until the trial is over, and if they settle, youll be able to sign up as a class member and get the $5 Venmo credit these things typically pay out.

It's the other way around, there was a class action, but the eventual outcome was that everyone needs to sue individually instead.
