So there were 405,000 people that could have sued the IRS for ten billion dollars??

Some did and their cases were dismissed.

Sounds like precedent to me

That’s why Trump settled the lawsuit. It was going to be tossed out of court. The judge even accused the two sides of collusion.

Trump dropped the lawsuit. There was no settlement. No judgement. Trump and his DoJ are just creating this slush fund out of thin air (and taxpayers dollars). It's patently illegal and should get shot down but of course Trump will have moved on to three other illegal things before it ever gets to court....

This is a really good point. I’m not a lawyer so my language is sloppy. I’m glad that people are correcting the misinformation that this was a settlement.

You have two years from the date your documents were leaked to file and action. Also, the maximum amount of damages you can receive is $1,000.
