I would like to hear from the lawyer who took the case. In this type of 
lawsuit, the lawyer's fee is usually on a contingency basis, so does he 
really think that a homeless guy is going to be able to cough up $1 
million? I know the dollar has recently declined against other 
currencies, but $1M is still real money ;-)
