You apparently have no idea what a scam is. Are you using the word to mean, ‘Rack up huge legal bills with nothing to show for it,’?
If not, what specifically was the scam?

I never stated that there was a scam. What I’ve been saying is that, in my view, the doctor saw an opportunity to capitalize on the request to relinquish his seat by simply refusing to do so, and he thereby triggered an altercation that became physical. In other words, it was his INTENTION, in my view, to perpetrate a scam by suing the airline. Of course neither I nor anyone else can know with certainty what the man was thinking, and therefore I admit that I could be mistaken, as you will no doubt agree.
You sure about that? The doctor was a scammer. LOCK HIM UP.
You’re just not making sense. You can’t scam an airline by refusing to deplane. No jury would award you squat for that. You get nothing for screaming (after the security guards are involved) either, and you certainly get nothing for holding onto your armrest. None of this would have created a situation ripe for even a small, nickel-and-dime scam.
Dao is in the money for one reason: the three thugs inflicted serious bodily harm on him. This isn’t something he could possibly have wanted, and still less could he have foreseen it. By all accounts, all he wanted was to remain quietly in the seat he’d paid for, and to get home on time.
The scam theory just doesn’t survive scrutiny. You’ve never explained how it was supposed to work. If you can’t even describe the intended scam, then the idea is a nonstarter.
