Online, a big V named "Xu Xiaofeng" posted an article.
"Investment involves risks, and entering the market requires caution, which is something every investor knows from the start. So, when I learned that Lawyer Tang had taken on this case, I was very perplexed."
"It's impossible for there to be a business that only makes profits and never incurs losses. In the same vein, encountering losses after investment failures is also normal."
"Moreover, the bank here is just an agency for the sale. Lawyer Tang suing the bank as the defendant, demanding compensation for the losses, I find that quite unreasonable."
"If you're looking for reliable funds, I suggest you come to my live stream..."
Like this big V, there were not a few people hopping on the bandwagon, but given Old Tang's reputation, they did not dare to openly criticize and could only subtly suggest something was unreasonable.
Online or in real life, there always seem to be those who cannot bear to see others do well.
Naturally, among stock investors, many appeared almost too happy to see others incur losses.
Now, hearing that someone was seeking compensation from the bank after experiencing a loss, they just couldn't accept it.
"I'm also puzzled, why are people so shameless nowadays? They say nothing when they make a profit, but when they lose, they blame others, right?"
However, such remarks were quickly rebutted.
"To the person above, I'm also puzzled, what's wrong with legitimately defending one's rights? Filing a lawsuit is a legal right granted to us; are we not even allowed to sue now?"
Old Tang's loyal supporters are still numerous, after all, the intermediaries in Jingzhou City are being reviewed one after another, and the influence of the dump truck continues to linger!
Therefore, no real storm arose online, it was just some self-media blabbering nonsense.
At Tengda Law Firm, Old Tang looked at these messages online and curled his lip in disdain, thinking it's all bullshit. He just needed money, that's why he was trying to make some.
"Director Ding, I'll have to trouble you this time." Manager Ma said to the middle-aged lawyer in front of him.
Director Ding, at the age of forty and in the prime of life, was one of the reputable financial lawyers in Jingzhou.
Clad in a sharp suit and shiny leather shoes, he looked every bit the top-notch lawyer.
"Don't worry, Manager Ma, I've reviewed all the materials already, and I'll soon submit the defense plea to the court."
He was confident in the case but had no interest in working on a contingency basis. Why mess around with risks when you could earn money the regular way?
Although many people thought contingency arrangements were great, in reality, many lawyers were reluctant to take them on.
Lawyers, too, prefer a stable income. Why take risks if you're guaranteed money whether you win or lose? Working on a case for months or even more than a year—if you lose, it's like having no income all year.
Five days later, Old Tang received a copy of the defense plea and the corresponding evidence.
As expected, the defense revolved around the "risk disclosure document" and the fact that Grandma Wu had signed it.
This was no surprise; Old Tang was prepared for this.
As for the rest of the evidence, the only slightly relevant piece was that Grandma Wu had previously purchased another high-risk fund; the rest was the same old tactics.
The opposition indeed had some capabilities, but only to a certain extent.
Online, only some stock investors were still arguing, while more people were curious about how the case would be judged!
If Tang Fangjing won, it would mean that the banks' old ways wouldn't cut it anymore and that banks could potentially be liable for compensation in the case of investment losses!
The implications would be different. At the very least, when selling investment products in the future, banks would have to be very cautious, not like before, merely focused on selling financial products without concern for anything else.
