I find it disingenuous that the person bringing action is a prime recipient of the outcome.  Bill the lawyer didnt win.  But Bill the legislator just got a 30 billion dollar slush fund.  Convenient lol.

Just send us our money.  TYVM.

Or litigate on behalf of the people.  Like a 15 person firm, with plenty of resources, and a stake in the outcome.  Ie.  if they prevail in clawing back 2 billion for ys out of misappropriated money, give them 25%.  Someone can win for 500 million.  It'd save us about 30 billion in the long run.
