Cool. It involves the wiretapping lawsuit.


These smash-and-grab lawyers always way, way, way overstate things in the initial complaint. It's par for the course.

The plaintiff's lawyers will conveniently ask for a settlement payout less than the estimated cost of litigation, and Papa John's will write a check to make it go away. It's how these things work.
