I just talked with the assistant AG in charge of this case. He seems pretty with it, and they're not trying to do anything crazy here - they see it as a pretty straightforward breach of contract sort of thing.

This card thing closed in October of 2012 and stopped updating in July of 2013, and offered no refunds. That makes it a much clearer case than these. Even if it is "business errors" he's apparently liable for them.
