Eat your hearts out!

I just received a settlement check from the firm handling the pay out for claimants in the Hanson vs. Google AdWords class action lawsuit. For.... drum roll please...

$0.27!

The administrative time to enter my mailing address in their form, to calculate my share in the bounty, not to mention the postage does not indicate a great return on investment.

The best part is the line, "If you have any questions about potential tax issues as a result of this award, consult a tax professional as neither the attorneys nor the Settlement Administrator can provide you with any tax advice."

Wonder's never cease.

Don't spend all of it in one place Gary.

we pin cheques like that to the notice board.. strange to say, so far, no one has thought any of them them worth nicking - our 'best' is 0.87 GBP - its a hard way to make a living, royalties [gets out violin]

you would think that they could just be aggregated into a charity account, but I guess that would leave the auditors paper trails in a taffle

I guess $0.27 is not even going to buy a stamp for you to write back and thank them....

When we closed escrow on our house we got a cheque for 1 cent. So we just filed it with the rest of the paper work. I little while later we got a letter requesting that we cash it and it was upsetting their books.

It is so seldom that you can win. Just be thrilled.

Gary, at the moment, you are more solvent than Greece is!

Thin comfort.

Thin comfort.

Well, it makes you bigger than a country and, if you wanted, you could help write off some of the debt!
