Attorneys in California have figured out how to "shake down" legitimate auto 
repair businesses:

and manicure salons, many of which are run by Vietnamese immigrants:

Meanwhile, attorneys in New York are going after McDonald's (= Jackpot!) for 
allegedly making youngsters obese, from their own voluntary behavior. Even 
without going to court, McDonald's will have to pay extortion money to make 
the suit go away:

Once attorneys figure out that cryonics organizations are sitting on many 
millions of dollars, and exist in a still-undefined legal area, they are 
going to find ways to sue them for confiscatory amounts of contrived 
"damages."
