Sometimes Legal Action is Imperative (Even if Recovering the Cost of the Litigation Itself is Infeasible)
Sirius got sued, but the company has no money (large piles of debt)
I have friends who fell for scams, even scams that I warned them upfront (and all along) would turn out badly. Sadly, I too fell for the same fraud that my colleagues fell for. We got offered a pension that did not exist and the perpetrator of this crime fled to the US after signing a mysterious deal with Bill Gates (under NDA). His wife, who was a Director when it went on (she must have been aware; she contacted us years ago, after we had resigned), was likely complicit. Whether it was her idea or not does not matter; around 2018 they separated and then divorced (not the first time this man got divorced with two daughters who would refuse to even speak to him!) and despite his company still existing 'on paper' - for even a one-man operation can be called "company" - there's almost nobody left there and the Web site hasn't been updated in years. The "staff" listed there is like a wormhole going back to 2018. Last year a former colleague dragged Sirius to court. We're waiting for it to finish now. This can take some time and we are not sure what the timeline for that case is (such cases can take approximately months if not years; a lawyer told us so when we considered taking legal action). It should be noted that we and this colleague worked together for about 6 years in the same team. We are glad that he's taking the company to court (he's not the first) and whatever the Tribunal decides will hopefully become visible for everyone to see. We need truth. Even if it costs more than the "damages" awarded.
My wife sued someone last year [1, 2] and she says that even if that person is too broke, it's still worth fighting and worth pursuing. Because it's just the right thing to do. █
