It would be good to know how many claimants are involved and the total potential recovery amount. Discovery costs and attorney fees will most certainly eat up the majority of any settlements. The basis for any settlement should be the face value of the policies at the time of loss. There's no basis for lost interest. It just seems like a lot of time and expense is being devoted to "getting what's owed them" regardless of the cost. It's hard to disagree with Calie's comments about the Jewish people living in the past. Why is the American government even getting involved with this? The ancestors weren't citizens when this occured and we have no jurisdication over the defendants. It's not like we don't have any more pressing issues affecting life today.
