Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Sally W.):

But why hire a lawyer to pass info to the AG when we can do that directly with the AG? I can see hiring a lawyer to build a separate civil suit on behalf of all TMC owners, i.e., a class action suit. But that's not what this is - it is only for the purpose of sending info to a lawyer who will pass it to the AG. Why?

I believe that the original thinking was that until recently, it wasn't clear that anything that the AG might do would apply to EVERYONE... not just NY residents. So hiring an 'owners' lawyer seemed like a good idea. It also wasn't clear until a few months ago that the AG would take info from owners directly... or that they would actually process it for legally poignant information. Having thousands of people send the same type of info to the AG didn't seem reasonable or productive at the time. But there is nothing wrong with doing both, either, or neither.
