Did you get your personal data stolen through the equifax breach? I got about $8. The total settlement was $30 million iirc. Equifax reported $209 million in earnings last quarter.

These settlements aren't meant to punish the culprit. They're paltry excuses for justice by a system that will enrich the attorneys involved in the case, allow the company to make back their losses in literal days with no real punishment, and leave those actually by impacted their negligence with pennies.

I'd be happy with $8.

I was offered a year of credit monitoring. When I told them fuck off with that offer they decided I wasn't part off the affected class.
