Lawyers who sued Facebook over user privacy violations are seeking $180 million in attorneys fees — a sum the judge in the case likened to “Nick Bosa money,” a reference to a $170 million contract the San Francisco 49ers star signed one day earlier.
At a hearing in San Francisco Thursday, US District Judge Vince Chhabria noted that the lawyers hadn’t revealed in court filings what their take of the $725 million settlement would be.
