Then just finding people cheated by land bots will be a challenge. Next, the amount of money they were cheated out of might be in real terms, rather small - $10US - $20US - etc. Some people might be a lot more, but again, that is anecdotal.

Final problem for the class action is a judge might not get the case at all. There’s a lot of explaining to do in the case to a judge and if it’s not clear to them where the wrong is, they might just throw it out.

As far as the gossip, I don’t have a lot of information other than what I overheard at a party, but that’s pretty much what I heard. These people seemed to be in the know, but then - a rumor is a rumor.

Companies and individuals usually like to settle at some point to reduce risks.

Pfff, that’s taking all the fun out of law suits. I was so looking forward to - any - ruling.

So you think he just wants to find some innocent residents that had enough of the land bots, represent them and thus get their money, regardless if they win or not? (<- a bit blatantly put, but still… :p)

Rumor has it, that Linden had logs of him bragging how he cheated and beat their system (which was the premise of the case to begin with), which was not going to look good in court. Which is probably why it was settled.

Remember, it’s all a risk/reward. Risk of loosing might greatly outweigh the reward of winning.

My guess is that this new legal tact is a means to recoup losses on the last failed legal attack. In most class actions, the lawyers are the ones who make out with all the money.

My guess is he is going to have a hard time on this one. But I do agree the landbots are not good. I thought there was going to be some generalized action to prevent them from working?
