I agree, if victims are serious about this, they have to contribute some money up front to hire a lawyer. The whole concept of getting lawyers to take this on for a portion of the recovered amount (if any) is never going to get off the ground. Lawyers are smart, they want to get paid, in advance, win or lose.
Even though I already gave up, and as I already stated I doubt if I would personally benefit from a lawsuit won in the UK or Australia, I would love to see the directors of Canbet get sued over this, and some sort of justice done.
I would be happy to contribute an additional 10% of the balance owed to me for this cause. I would want to see the majority of victims pledge to pay this amount before I pay up.
