To try to understand how many people might be racing each other to file the first complaint, I've been tracking the number of points on the above comment.
So far, the parent comment has 3 upvotes (i.e. it peaked at 4 points recently) and 2 downvotes, bringing the current total to 2 points. Its 3 upvotes might be interpretable as 3 people in a sprint to file the first complaint. The two downvotes might even indicate an additional 2 people, having the clever idea to try to discourage others from participating (: ... if true, very clever lol.
Hiring an attorney doesn't actually even cost you anything upfront until you win, if you hire them via what's called a Contingency Fee Arrangement, which you should definitely ask for.
For those interested in a benchmark for how fast you should expect to have to move to be competitive, my guess is that an extremely fast-moving lawyer could sign a retainer agreement with you in 1 hour if you go in person to their office, and could file a complaint in an additional 3-4 hours.
In 18 months we will learn which lucky person was fastest. Stay tuned.
