Now I want to start off by saying that I am not trying to pick on Americans, but it seems that the majority of the stupid lawsuits out there come from the states. Not all, but I have to say, I can’t remember the last time I heard of some ridiculous suit being filed in Canada (or elsewhere for that matter).
The latest stupid suit is from New York, where Dalton Chiscolm is suing Bank of America for 1,784 Billion Trillion dollars. To put that into perspective, that number looks like this:
$17,840,000,000,000,200,164,000
According to world bank, in 2008 the GDP was an estimated $60. Trillion, or:
$40,800,000,000,000
As you can see, that is significantly less… Even if he has a valid case, I am not sure how he figures he could be entitled to more money than has ever existed on planet earth – a number .more than 500 million times the GDP of only a few years ago. I am sure this suit is likely for publicity or attention – perhaps his mother never hugged him as a child or something and he is lonely, I don’t know.
If you ask me, people who file suit over ridiculous things, or for ridiculous amounts, should be locked away forever. It’s just a huge waste of tax payer dollars. (But I guess it did give me something to write about)

this is crazy, people like that should be locked away you are absolutely right.
some people make their living suing other people my uncle is one of them he has sued like 15 people in his life.
We don’t talk much.
I don’t understand why some of the lawsuits are given any type of consideration. There should be a standard, and if a lawsuit doesn’t meet it, it should get tossed.
