Thank you.

And they were very segregated.

Was that Black or White Africans?

I sure hope they do not get paid for anything other than client representation. Nothing extra!!

I do not think that is exactly true. I think the fact that there has not been anything to discuss is what has kept survivors from posting.

As this long saga plays out my attorney let me know that my case has been filed in California State Court. Yes, I know that there will be a stay on it because of the bankruptcy but still I feel better having it filed.

You seem to be suggesting that individual or victims' rights to sue should be curtailed and greater protections be given to institutions such as the BSA from being sued based on the fact that the BSA is not the only organization that has a CSA issue. Not denying the fact that abuse should not have happened is not a defense against trying to minimalize the scope of the abuse, amount of suffering, and how hard BSA has fought survivors to be able to recover damages. The same legal system that you claim is bad to BSA is being and has been used by BSA to avoid fair compensation to survivors.

In the long wait how is everyone holding up?

I hope all is well with you. Technology is amazing and embracing it is the only way to move forward.

Simple answer is that the BSA did not want to pay for it and have the process drawn out longer. Wanting vetting was an insurance ploy so that they could keep their money in their investments for a longer period of time.

Amendment to the plan was posted recently to the docket 8950ce76-0b70-4e57-a957-d4d9cc3d51c8_10189.pdf (omniagentsolutions.com)

No the insurance settlements clear the insurance company of a BSA claim. A claim against the CO who didn’t settle would have to be paid fully out of their own pocket.

Right after you deleted mine I saw his. My bad.

And you keep @skeptics comments stand when they are not part of the judges opinion?

At Vandenburg I also saw the silos and yes that was kind of cool. But I was also raped there by two airmen (BSA Volunteers) on base property. Guess which situation had the most impact on my life? Why is it that you feel that fully compensating CSA survivors for their abuse however it can be done is a bad thing? Just asking of course.

Well I can say that maybe the plan has not been approved because no one can come to agreement about anything LOL!!

I just talked to an old judge just now and he related to me how he presided over a BSA CSA case around 1990 and how it was a hung jury in the first trial and was settled before the second trial. I know it’s not pertinent to the thread but thought it was interesting. I sold him a car about 6 years ago and he just came in and bought another. He still sits occasionally and he is 90 years old.

Sometimes I wonder if it is such a mess that she doesn't want to rule.

Unless an exception applies, an organization typically is responsible for damages caused by its agents. An agency relationship may exist when an organization has control, or should have had control, over an individual’s actions. This concept extends to volunteers, especially if they are doing work under the direction of a nonprofit manager and on behalf of the nonprofit.

I have heard others from the beginning saying that the plan is unconfirmable.

Now that it has been over 90 days that we have been waiting for confirmation. Why do you all think that the hasn't been confirmed?

I also believe there should be no double dip. The firms you are talking about belong to the coalition and they are not presently billing hourly instead there are millions that BSA has agreed to pay them if the plan is approved. This was in order to get there yes endorsement on the plan which kind of sounds like bribery to me.
