Precisely.
Tthey said that they started work on it and by the time they submitted it, they found out that others had already done the same (of course they wouldn't have known this when they started the legwork), but that ultimately that doesn't matter because if it goes class-action – which is their desired path of action – the cases will be combined anyway.
If anything it's beneficial that multiple people took this up, it should make class-action more likely.
Exactly. It takes weeks and perhaps longer to put together a case, so the fact that they're within a few days of each other is pretty remarkable and implies they have a pretty good case. Hopefully they can combine notes and really take Honey to the cleaners.
Oh well. I must confess though, watching a 1.5 hour video to make sure I didn't say something they already said didn't seem like an appealing proposition to me.
