If you live in Ohio Electric Utility Litigation settlement!

If you get an email about an electricity litigation settlement, or if you get a debit card by snail mail, or a check by snail mail, it is legitimate.
This link is a summary of the action: https://www.ohioelectricitylitigation.com/

People who were customers of FirstEnergy, FirstEnergy Service, Ohio Edison, Toledo Edison, Cleveland Electric and paid the companies after HB6 was passed are automatically in the settlement. I think this is the one Householder got 20 years for.

I was on the phone with my friend and she told me she got a scam mail, and as she was reading bits of it to me, I checked and found the information it was an actual settlement

If you are awarded under $250.00 you get a e-payment or if they have your address, or a debit card. If you are entitled to more than $250.00, you get a check.

I can not believe this settlement is so low. Over 600 million dollars were stolen and only 1 person is in jail for this.

matt borges. I think he got 7 years, but is appealing. You are right, more people should be held accountable. Maybe whoever instigated the law to get diddled?
Some other people were prosecuted:
