The 54 million dollar lawsuit

$54 million is what Raelyn Campbell wants out of Best Buy for her missing laptop, personal data, and her time. The Washington, DC, resident filed a lawsuit against the company after Best Buy allegedly lied to her for months at a time about the status of her machine, then offered her an insultingly low compensation once it acknowledged the loss.

As ridiculous as it seems (you can make many laptops in gold for that price :P), it still makes sense to me! Sometimes corporate America just needs a caffeine jolt. Not treating your customers well is just unpardonable. I have been going through a few rough spots myself with Citibank (credit cards, checking account, interest payments, bill payments...everything!). Screw up and then don't even own upto it and after that treat your customers like shit...truly despicable. If any of you have/want NRI, NRE accounts, savings/credit cards etc, please look elsewhere..Citi is only for people with a lot of money and a lot of time!

As far as Campbell is concerned, she says that she knows $54 million is outrageous, but it's apparently the only way to get media attention and put enough pressure on Best Buy to do the right thing. I really sympathize with her and truly hope she is paid her due!
