The big scam is that Equifax can hire a music major as their chief security officer (true story), settle for billions, and the litigating law firm will took 20.

The big scam is that Equifax can hire a music major as their chief security officer (true story), settle for billions, and the litigating law firm will took 20.4% of the $380.5 million. Hilariously part of that settlement was they realistically expected people would take "free credit monitoring" as compensation; a service that credit bureaus literally sell. I'd like to think this would get reformed, but lawyers and politicians would cling to it under their fingernails peeled off.
