PayPal Settles Class Action Lawsuit

ephidryn writes "I just received a notice from paypal which indicates that I may be involved in a class action lawsuit against paypal. Apparently two PayPal users, Roberta Toher and Jeffrey Resnick, filed two seperate lawsuits that were later combined into one class action suit. ZDNet has a story that notes: "PayPal said it would pay a total of $9.25 million to settle the federal class-action suit..." I'm so ready to receive my check for $0.35US" kai5263499 adds "The settlement states that anyone who opened an account between Oct 1, 1999 and Jan 1, 2004 is elegible to participate in the settlement. According to their Plan of Allocation you can fill out a short form or a long form to sign up."

Re:What would you do with 35c?

The world doesn't like the US. We'd be better off without you.

Okay, since you're obviously digging for heated responses, let me fulfill your need.

Without the US, the rest of the world would:
Be speaking German or Japanese right now
Not be using a computer
Not be driving automobiles
Never have known the jaw-dropping awesomeness that was Mr. Benjamin Franklin
Never have known the concept of working yourself from poverty to riches (in europe there's always some deus ex machina for rags-to-riches stories)
Never have known a place where immigrants from anywhere are valued and respected (okay, not so much anymore, but then at least we had it for a brief moment)
Never have been introduced to rock n' roll, blues, jazz, rap or hip-hop.
Never have allowed women to equal men in common society
Never have allowed the poor to sue the rich

okay, did that satisfy your craving for invective?
I can throw out polemics like rose petals in a romance novel. I'm sure I believe what I said about as much as you believed what you said.

And then, after that, you can use Bush's tactic of getting investment money that is wasted away. Not to mention plenty of free money for the family through Savings and Loan scams! Man, I sure wish I had gotten in on that, I'd be $50 million richer. Then, go the Cheney route and over charge taxpayers for your company's services- over and over and over!
