As is usually the case with these types of settlements, the lawyers (on both sides) win and the defendants (facebook) win.

- DannyBee 14y agoThe lawyers make something, but when people see lawyers get 2 million or 3 million from some large litigation, they don't understand that the lawyers probably put in 3000+ hours of work (each), plus large cost outlays. it's hard because i'm not familiar with this particular case, but in cases like this one, they often front well over a million dollars.
- _dark_matter_ 14y agoWow, I wish my work was worth a thousand dollars an hour.
- DannyBee 14y agoI said "each". It's not like this is one lawyer, it's probably 2-5 lawyers from each firm, including associates. Then they also have support staff, etc. All the documents in a large case with a very large class can amount to hundreds of thousands of pages (maybe millions). Someone has to review that stuff.
