So let me see if I get this straight:
Some guy robs you and since they can't pay the settlement bill for robbing you, they are offering you a stakeholder position in their further crimes?

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

Everyone is just seeing how far they can go nowadays.
If everyone is an accessory, no one has standing to sue.
Here's the thing: everyone but you would be an accessory, so you can sue everyone who got stonks. Settle for getting their stonks, and you get 23% of (what was) the company.
(I wish I was only half-kidding, but the US be the US)
Devoid of ethics. Company using stolen goods to get started offers profits from stolen goods going forward. How TF is this legal? That's a rhetorical question fwiw.
Well you see it's like this....

Nothing more valuable than shares in a company in such a poor financial state that it can't pay its own settlements.
It would close out all these claims and allow creditors to take over the data and sell it tho
Less ridiculous than a losing country offering a "peace deal" where the better off country gives them all the land they wished for and promise not to join Nato.
If companies are people we should execute one
Companies are people right up to the moment a felony is committed but no further.
We should execute plenty. (Companies, not people, except possibly the CEOs.)
Their business is built entirely on stolen data so they're selling off a minority of shares.
Fuck these clowns.
So it's bankruptcy, then.
Mmmm no I think we’re still going to sue.
And pass up on this unique opportunity to join the bourgeoisie?
Don't post pictures of yourself online, I guess.
Expecting your stuff to remain private online is like leaving your belongings on the sidewalk and expecting nobody to touch them.
Some places are like that
Vanishingly few.
Sure you can, but if your friend does it, work, school, parents etc etc... You are going to end up online without knowing.
Naa, I'll take my ...
