Understandable....lawyers get 33 1/3%, so they earn on each member of the class... motivation is high to get as many people in the boat as possible...

but to repeat: The worst lawsuits are the "tie-in" lawsuits, because they serve no purpose and are on very loose grounds.

A tie-in is nothing else but a sold call by the underwriter (at the IPo price) and a sold put where the seller is the call buyer. Lawyers should wake up. They could endanger the whole options market. As a result it is totally clear the the underwriter wants to sell the call expensive, so have a low strike price in comparison to the fair market value.
