It's Hard To Collect From U. S. Claims Court
Washington AP reports claims totaling about 3.15 billion dollars are pending against the government in the US Claims Court.

Largest case dates to 1921 by the late Robert Lee Wright seeking 122,250,000 for alleged patent infringement on WWII shell manufacture.
