no suit will happen
I figured... I just wanted to rant cause I'm still pissed about it =p
You could hire a lawyer, but that would cost more than your "pretty large position". If you find someone that suffered a much greater loss and offer to them to be a test case for them, and if you could be able and organized, they might help you make that happen. Its possible someone else doesn't personally feel inclined to be the professional litigant that such an effort would require.
tl;dr no free bite at that lunch.
