This suit is regarding a privacy order they failed to meet and the investors claim this led to the Cambridge Analytics affair. Not a once a quarter repeat event.

Sorry, my personal information bubble is not calibrated to maintain a half-way-objective estimate on that.

Perhaps if we hang around here looking sad someone else will research the answer and tell us?
