Not just the lawyers. I used to work for a firm that administered those settlements - nice business.
But yeah, aside from the named plaintiffs, who still don't get a ton, no one gets paid squat for being a member of a settlement class.

Unless it's really worth it, I don't participate in these class action law suits anymore. We get a check for $0.25 and the lawyers get $10M. Then the cost of the product or service goes up by $1 to pay the lawyers' fees and we end up getting screwed for $0.75 in the end.

After they took out Final Value Fees, I received a check for the amount of $0.15. That's right - fifteen cents.

It was fed to the shredder, although I should have made a scan of it first.

I told the wife that when I was a kid, I could have gone out and gotten a pack of cards and four pieces of Bazooka for that.
