I recall some here saying that these types of lawsuits have gained traction in the past. Is there precedence for a major judgement against any of the parties who claim rigged technology?
Yes, they are sometimes successful and more and more so.
There was the Beef Products vs ABC “pink slime” case which was settled out of court for 177 million but could have been a 5 plus billion case.
And there was the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker (the suit was bankrolled by Peter Thiel of PayPal/Palantir etc) was 140 million but essentially put Gawker out of business.
Thiel bankrolled the Hogan lawsuit because he was furious with Gawker for outing him and the attorney in the BPI case is the attorney involved in the Smartmatic suit, I believe.
