A bit on the lawsuit just to add some perspective:
We had 2 independent lawyers on our side working out of a small office downtown. It's all we could afford.
US Megacorp had these guys:

15 US offices, 425 lawyers, $220 million in revenue last year
China Factory had these guys:

38 offices worldwide, 1730 lawyers, $1.4 billion in revenue
It was a senior partner of this firm that found the loophole that got our contract thrown out.
I guess we never really stood a chance.
On the plus side both US Corp and China dude probably spent anywhere from 5-7 times more than we had to.
