Have you read this?

KNC facing a class action lawsuit:
Sad

I'm well known for my funny photos, but this is actually a real image from her website!

Watching that video, I'm not convinced she is up to the task. kfc are multi-millionaire ruthless crooks, who have made it a conflict of interest for any lawyer in Sweden to work against them. She'll be swallowed whole in 15 minutes.

The impression she left in the video is, hm, how to write it in a polite way...?

As a matter of facts, it doesn't really matter what lawyer you have in the US. All you need is one who can convince the DA that it is a RICO-case. And given some facts which are freely available, I don't think this will be so difficult. It would make sense if the community would dox a couple of the persons involved, and with this information, it would be a cake-walk.

They use RICO to prosecute for murder, kidnapping, arson etc. Not sure kfc are quite on the same level as the Gambino family Grin

What do you mean by doxing persons involved? All the directors of kfc are well known, with plenty TV interviews etc on record that identifies them. They even say in those interviews they sell to private individuals, which negates their t&c's completely about selling only to businesses. You can search for my older posts and find that interview Scam Hole did where he said they "sell to everyone". These facts are all freely available. I hope our intrepid traffic ticket lawyer is reading and already has that evidence in her files.

No. RICO has been used in financially related crimes during the last 30 years - just look at the James Irwin-case. There are, however, a couple of goals which have to be met. But if you look at some of the persons invovled in the several companies - KnC, the VC-companies etc - I'm sure this can be accomplished. Also: doxing the KnC-guys who are well known is one thing. But look at the persons who were employed. What did they do in the past? Were some of them involved in computer related crimes (some of them were - and it is up to KnC to prove that they did a proper DD.). Look at the VC-companies: Were some of them related in tax issues.... Look at the persons in these VCs: Were they involved in some shady financial operations? Yes, some of them were. It is not that the victims have to get all the evidence. They have to get only the evidence which shows a RICO-related behavior. Let's KnC spend their money for their defense. So every potential future investor will ask twice if he will spend money for KnC's lawyers instead of the technology.

Fair enough, I think you know more about the companies around and that invest in kfc than I do. But I'm not surprised that people who invested in a company that "prints money" to turn a quick profit and screws it own customers multiple times could potentually be shady.

The amount that has been invested, according to their latest press release, is incredible:
"Sam Cole, co-founder and CEO of KnCMiner, said: We have invested more than $70M over the last 12 months into building a world-class bitcoin mining operation and plan to invest a further $150M over the next 18 months as we become one of the key transaction processors within Bitcoin. "

That's why it seems hopeless for a traffic ticket lawyer to go against a company with 100's of millions of dollars.

What really annoys me is that hardware vendors have fleeced the community, without some laywers also getting in on the action and fleecing even more money. When they probably know they can't win, but just want to collect fees. Let's hope Ms Lin proves me wrong and does have some solid info that can be used to invoke RICO action. I won't hold my breath, as she probably has a few dui's to deal with first.

Maybe I wasn't so wrong back in 2013 when I spoke about:
