As long as the judge is aware when the suing party is a shell company vs. an actual small business and requires some sort of monetary escrow only for the former. I don't know if "danger" is the word you are looking for :) I'd love to see a "reverse class action" happen to an intellectual vulture; the only way it would be better would be if the judge allowed the "defendants" to pierce the veil when it came time to collect.
