But what's the solution to this problem? Ban wealthy people from financing lawsuits? That's never going to happen. What about ban people with malicious intent from financing the lawsuits? You'll rarely be able to prove the intent.

- mikeyouse 10y agoWe formerly had laws on the books banning this very thing.. Read into champerty: http://qz.com/692312/billionaire-peter-thiels-attack-on-gawker-is-called-champerty-and-it-used-to-be-illegal/ http://qz.com/692312/billionaire-peter-thiels-attack-on-gawk...
- argonaut 10y agoYes, that why I said "Ban wealthy people from financing lawsuits? That's never going to happen." Reinstitution of maintenance/champerty laws will never politically happen. It means banning donations to the ACLU or EFF or NRA or union legal fund, etc. Good luck with that politically.
