Has there ever been a class action settlement that actually made all the people who were harmed whole?

Because somehow I doubt it.

When Arco was sued for charging people fees on their debit cards, I got two separate checks for around $70 each. I don't think I ever paid anywhere near that in $0.35 fees. Every other one had been a scam though.

Huh. I've been part of a couple dozen ones and I don't think I've ever seen more than a couple of dollars. I THINK the biggest settlement was $22 or $23 or something like that.

Nice to know that, in theory at least, you could recover what was wrongfully taken from you.
