LexShares - Crowdfunding for lawsuits

This is both fascinating and terrifying to me.

An interesting attempt to 'level the playing field' in commercial litigation

Powerful idea. Is this US-centric or could it work for any country?

I think it's a pretty neat idea. I would love to see statistics on how many cases actually give a return.

This is great and solves a real problem, wondering if there are any other similar products?

how do the funders participate in the winnings? what happens on appeals?
