China hit with trillion-dollar coronavirus lawsuit

A Las Vegas lawyer has filed a federal lawsuit seeking compensation from China for the financial carnage wrought by the coronavirus pandemic.

Eglet Adams is seeking a whopping $20 trillion.

The class action suit is on behalf of several small businesses.

The suit is targeting various organizations such as the People’s Republic of China, the Wuhan city authority, several government ministries and health agencies.

It says various agencies conspired to cover up the seriousness of the virus outbreak ‘in a campaign of misinformation and lies.’

Adams says the lawsuit is not a frivolous one.

“China has trillions in assets here in the United States, so this judgment’s collectible,” he said.

The suit says over a million small businesses in the US have closed or had to downsize their operations.
