The Fed Makes Money off Civil Lawsuits So They Want You to File Them

Over a case filed in Hattiesburg, the government made $500 off a civil lawsuit. Apparently because it's the law.  

Over a complaint about having s service dog, a customer filed a complaint against the Grand China Buffet. He was paid $2500 by the restaurant int he settlement. However, that's not what caught my eye about this story. The government also made $500 off of it under the guise of "vindicating the public interest."

• A complaint was filed and the investigation concluded  that the staff violated her civil rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Grand China Buffet Restaurant and its owner, Zhen Fei Chen, reached a settlement agreement.
  Killingsworth was paid $2,500.00 in compensatory damages by the restaurant, and a civil penalty of $500.00 was paid to the United States in order to partially vindicate the public interest. [WHLT]

So it shouldn't come as any surprise that the Federal government would encourage such complaints. After all, they can make money off of them. As a general rule, the Fed doesn't lose civil lawsuits.
