> A bunch of class action lawyers just made $30B dollars.

Where is this number coming from? The listed settlement amount is an order of magnitude less than this, and lawyers typically get some percentage (15-30?), which has to be approved by the court. I'm not saying they didn't make a lot of money here (and for full disclosure, I used to be a lawyer), but I'm not seeing how they raked in tens of billions.
