LAS VEGAS -- Five Las Vegas businesses have filed a federal lawsuit through an attorney seeking class-action status for 32 million small businesses to collect what he says could be trillions of dollars in damages from the Chinese government for lost income and profits due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Attorney Robert Eglet alleges China was reckless, negligent and covered up information about the respiratory illness instead of sharing information that might have prevented its spread.

Chinese Embassy officials in the U.S. didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Before the lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, a China foreign ministry spokesman said people should stop making "wrongful remarks that stigmatize China."

Eglet said that instead of sharing information with the world about a new virus for which there was no vaccine or cure, the government of China intimidated doctors, scientists, journalists and lawyers while allowing worldwide spread of COVID-19.

Eglet says the lawsuit could take many years to resolve.

If ever there was a battle that could not be won, that’s it.

That absolutely hilarious.................................

MM

Well the Chinese do own a lot of American soil. Got get it back somehow.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

How did the law suit go for the Jews against the Germans?

Or the Roman Catholic Church.

Is there any stock for sale out there in legal firms and the business of lawsuits?

Cuz I wanna buy some..

Lolol.....Vote for Pedro!

Normally I’d say that there was no way in hell he could win an international lawsuit against China and that the lawsuit would never go anywhere being dead before or upon arrival but Gaddafi shyster set precedent. 😁

The shyster who’s trying to make a name for himself will get exactly what amberlamp chasers love.....attention. He’ll get his 15 minutes of fame and killer free advertising. He’ll give interviews with local and likely international news outlets and his name and number is just a google away. His phone will be ringing off the hook with people that have frivolous notions of suing countries like Barbados because they got sick at the resort from unpurified water that the government knew <or should’ve known> that their water was crap.......😂

Good ruck with the lawsuit!

A large handful of lawyers just put down payments on vacation homes.

That is all this amounts to.

The lawyers get rich. You can’t get blood out of a turnip

They’re no turnip. They’ll have to try this via The World Court one would think.

Oh boy that is going to upset the communists Chinese bots on here SAcharli/e and Leroybeans

Shouldn't they have filed in the Hague?

What's the going legal fee to reconvene the Nuremberg Trials...

Good luck with that one.

Is that like a subpoena for some Russian hacker.

You never know .... I personally know a family of a Marine who was killed in the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut that has collected more than a $1,000,000.00 from Iran (or Iranian assets in the US) from the Federal lawsuit against Iran.

Maybe not yet, but the treasury Department is working on that.

Exxon got their money out of Venezuela in court. Other oil companies got theirs out of Iran .

It can be done pending contracts but negligence is a different matter.
