Isn't that what we're all asking in our own lives? Where's my Harrier Jump Jet? I know that's what I've been asking.

Guy saw an opportunity to sue and went for it. His lawyers knew, or should have known, he would lose, but they knew they would get paid either way.

Thanks for the info. In my mind I remember him getting some sort of cash equivalent out of it.
