Mr Lazar is far from the only person to have served repeatedly as plaintiff in class-action shareholder litigation orchestrated by an aggressive law firm.
Plaintiff lawyers, following their usual pattern, pelted the company with shareholder suits after a doctor raised the alarm against Zicam on Good Morning America and Matrixx shares plunged.
In theory, the outsourcing firms like Hudson Legal include overhead in what they charge plaintiff firms for their lawyers, meaning they should just pass through those charges to their shareholder clients, instead of marking them up.
