Ok the miniscule amount the Boyscouts lawyers want to pay is actually laughable and Unacceptable, 1.5% of each claim, temporary payment? They have property, art work, that should be seized in my opinion and how much hidden money does some of them have? If this goes into a different path and eventually find restitution and payment for these survivors, I am with all survivors 100% , They will get what was initially told of their claim and suffering for years of abuse and torture!!
Should we wait for the appeal before signing any release?
Wait so we’re only going to get 1.5%…. Total?!! Ever????
I want to thank you so much sir. For making this sound in English a cut through all the bowling alley words in this and that I am one of those survivors. Thank you for making it understandable. But I'm still ticked off add how long has this been going on thank you again
The funny thing about my deal was I don't do drugs this was done with a normal boy at the age of five as myself and had to deal with this situation and they come back whenever you're older
I'm just so sad that I and my boy scout buddies and have to go through this if they're still alive
And completely ruined my growing up life I did not like after shower jams applied for wrestling I didn't like the way the coach and all that was not around my area and things of that nature
I wanna thank you gentleman for taking the time and explaining what's going on and taking the time to represent all of the survivors. No one had to step up and try to take action to help everyone get some type of compensation. No matter what amount each individual gets itll never be enough to heal the wounds that were created.
This is like watching the teacher for Charlie Brown all I hear is *###*&^%$$^**^%% blah blah blah and blah
