Ah, THAT explaination at least has legs. All these other responses I'm getting are these abstract "mouse trap if everything goes exactly like this", sort of explainations.
Although, I still don't think financial recouperation is the path I'd take. I would be pressing legal charges. Like, criminal acts go to prison type charges.
I might be wrong (obligatory I am not a lawyer), but I think the laws either make it so that they can't be considered as an accomplice to a crime like that, or they're a corporation, which means that fines are really the only way they can be punished.
Either way, the arbitration clause, I believe, means that you can't take them to court like that in any situation. An out of court settlement is your only option, except in the case of a class action lawsuit, which let's them get a bulk deal on how much they have to pay out.
