Is it unusual for a class action to only have 17 claimants?
I didn’t see where it said it was a class action. There’s a difference between a bunch of plaintiffs with the same claim and a handful representing an entire class.

But it is, in fact, a class-action lawsuit.

The distinction is still valid. It’s a bunch of plaintiffs but it would only be a class action if they’re suing on behalf of many more unnamed parties.

What is the burden of proof here?  Will they have to show that Ramsey knew this service wasn’t providing what they said they would? I think he will settle for 10% of that $150M.

Probably, unless some specific consumer protection law applies its own standard.

according to the yahoo article there were people calling in all the time letting him know how the company he was endorsing were crooks and did not provide the services they advertised. By all accounts he either ignored the feedback from all those callers, or on one occasion he lashed out at his audience for complaining. He only stopped running their ads when they stopped paying him $150k a month.

It does sound pretty crappy of him. I have no idea what the standard is but unless there are specific statutory safe harbors I’d wager he ends up paying something.

What did grandma always say about settling class action lawsuits for fraud?

I started this fraud on a card table in my garage.
