    As some of you know, I’m currently being sued (personally) in a putative class action lawsuit. I can’t speak about it publicly because the litigation is ongoing but I want to share some context and ask for your help.

    1/ Legal Update PoolTogether Inc is extremely happy with the results of yesterday’s hearing. The Judge indicated that he is inclined to dismiss the case due to failure to show that the plaintiff had suffered harm.
