Civil things usually occur before arrests. Not saying that this is so but many class actions actually are wanted by defendants. That way they can pay peanuts per person and the claim process is also not that easy when you are part of an approved class plus again, its usually for peanuts...aka 1989 topps/donruss.. Then tons of potential lawsuits are wiped out that were not 'opted out'
I would think if there is any headway in any criminal case, that will aid the lawsuit here and also anyone that 'opts out' from a approved class action lawsuit..
