Wyeth's nag

This may be oddest tale yet from the long and already scandalous fen-phen diet drug litigation relentlessly dogging the local drug giant Wyeth (NYSE: WYE) : Hundreds of Kentucky plaintiffs got a $200 million settlment from Wyeth. But their lawyers Shirley Cunningham Jr. and William Gallion allegedly pocketed too much of the money. The plaintiffs sued the lawyers, won and were awarded, among other things, the lawyers' 20 percent stake in champion race-horse Curlin, winner of the Breeders' Cup Classic. Now Curlin is up for sale. So Wyeth's fen-phen users may get their payday, or at least some of it. Can't make this stuff up.
