Not a lawyer but do they have anything to lose with this suit?

If they make the accusation and lose, it would also be pretty bad for them. First, they would likely need to compensate the researchers for defamation, and second, they would look even worse to shareholders.

I don't know, but it's an interesting lawsuit.

Yeah maybe I've been watching too much Succession so I think this is just the play here lol.

Off-topic, but is it a good show? I'm looking to add another show to my evening wind down. LOL

It's an incredible show but I can see it not being everyone's cup of tea. It's a bit depressing or absolute joy if you enjoy seeing the 0.1% squirm but either way it's interesting, unique and doesn't waste your time. And there's a comical relief but it doesn't offset the drama.
