Never underestimate the pettiness of executives in companies with a lot of money. I've been on the receiving end of a meritless revenge lawsuit. The net result was that it shut our startup down and turned many of the employees against the founder on a personal level. I was lucky to be able to cut my legal fees with some of my coworkers by sharing a lawyer, but I still ended up being out a few thousand dollars prior to settling (the company had to shut down and disband). Had we fought it, it would have costed a lot more than that. --edit-- Trivia: Since we're talking about Pud's post, I'm pretty sure the company that sued me was a company that had many employees bitch about it on f*ckedcompany.com, although it was never a company that got "featured" by Pud himself.
