I would imagine that the Chung’s just want to get out of this insane situation. I know that would be my response. Besides, Pearson is obviously a loose canon and not shy about abusing the legal system. Why provoke him?

It’s people like Roy Pearson that make Americans afraid of each other. I support a law suit in the case of being wronged or injured, but this clown is asking for $67,000,000 for a pair of pants? People make mistakes; we’re all just human and your clothes will most likely get lost or messed up at the drycleaners once in your life. Yeah, it sucks, but you can work something out and in most cases the drycleaners will do everything they can to replace your loss. In this case, the Chungs offered this guy $12,000 to settle this claim, and he refused it. What a jerk. They should countersue his behind for emotional stress as well as financial. This goes even beyond humor and ridiculousness; a lawsuit like this is what makes the United States a joke to people around the world. I just pray that the justice system still has a little hope and competence left. I also pray for the Chungs well-being and offer them my support. Mr. Pearson is going to pay bigtime for this.

I would sue for $70 million for mental anguish and harrassment, and slander, and defamation of character,and whatever else they can come up with. Why should he be the only one to create some BS?
