"Class action lawsuits" are a weirdly American thing as well.
Bit like short-sellers.
Ideally government/state would enforce fair play - but instead it's left to private enterprise (financiers and lawyers) to patrol, for the potentially ridiculous returns that can make for wrong-doing.
Makes me think of old "Wanted Posters", just for "Wrongdoers" and the reward being "Ridiculous"
Does also make me wonder how much blackmail goes on, unnoticed. There must be more than a few "reports" that got bought be a company for a large consultancy fee..
