Let me offer a what might be a better story

Joe owns a store where he buys widgets wholesale and sells them retail. 
A bunch of widget companies get together and pressure the rest of the
widget companies not to sell to Joe.  Joe finds a lawyer and sues them
all for anti-trust violations.  Years go by.  The companies finally
settle for a few bucks with Joe without admitting guilt.  The lawyers
get rich.
