(ZDNet) "officers and directors, and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering were named as defendants in a series of class action lawsuits" That's *standard* you say? Everybody that does an IPO is served with a class action lawsuit?

There are plenty of lawyers who specialize in stockholder lawsuits, and they smell blood here.

Non-savvy investors who bought into dot bombs and lost tons of money in the process have been courted by these modern-day ambulance chasers since the tech bubble burst a number of years ago.One of the firms that took out a suit against Caldera included a link to their web site in one of their trolls for plaintiffs. I don't recall the exact number of companies they listed on their site as being sued by the firm, but I do know it took a lot of web browser scrolling to get through the one-per-line listing. I'd have to say there were close to 100. That's just one law firm.
