Legal Retainer Progress & Primary Plaintiff Update

We are pleased to share significant progress on the recovery effort.

  • Legal Retainer Contributions: $209,000 of the $250,000 goal has been raised.
  • Primary Plaintiff Claims: Verified claims now total $218 million.

This represents a major step forward toward filing the case and formally establishing the class.


Important Clarification

Once the legal retainer goal is met, no additional Primary Plaintiffs will be accepted. At that point:

  • The group of Primary Plaintiffs will be finalized and locked.
  • Anyone who has not joined as a Primary Plaintiff will need to wait until the class is formally filed in court.
  • At that stage, claim submissions for the Priority and Basic Class categories will open.

Why This Matters

Primary Plaintiffs are not only the core funders of the legal effort but also guaranteed the largest share of recovery. Their role ends once the case is filed, and after that, the only way to participate will be through class claims.

If you are considering applying as a Primary Plaintiff, please understand that time is short. Once the retainer goal is fully met, the opportunity to join as a Primary Plaintiff will close permanently.


Next Steps

  • For prospective Primary Plaintiffs: Submit your application and contribution before the legal retainer goal is met.
  • For all others: Prepare your documentation and watch for the announcement that the class has been filed, at which point you may submit under the appropriate claim category.

We are close to the finish line. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far and continues to support this effort.
