The article goes on to describe what these "reputable firms" were up to, in manipulating prices of IPO transactions. Turns out Vanessa's father is a high priced class action attorney, and she filed this lawsuit even though her ownership of these stocks were minimal, and she was a minor at the time.

Doing some Google searches on this, indicates that massive resources and legal expenses are being spent by firms defending themselves in this case. Very high priced attorneys have had a nice big meal ticket from this case alone, have pretty much not had to handle much in the way of case work of any other projects.

Our wonderful media, it never ceases to amaze me how bought and paid for they are. This case is a big deal, and me, I'd never heard of this case until yesterday when I was doing a research project.
