That is horrible advice.

You could actually be sued yourself for abuse of process if you file a lawsuit without a proper purpose and a good faith belief that you have a claim under the law (or, a good faith attempt to change the law).

Venk has not even stated that he himself has an injury to redress, much less all this discussion of whether a claim would exist for the injury had he even been injured.

I hate HOKEY as much as the next guy, but advising someone to file a lawsuit in the home town of the corporation just to get media attention is not good advice. The legal system is not properly used for this purpose.

If you have been injured and can come up with something even remotely colorable, then file a suit if you wish. That's your right. But do not abuse the legal system just to get media attention.
