Joshua Schwadron, CEO and co-founder of Mighty, the world’s first online marketplace connecting plaintiffs awaiting a fair legal settlement with the financing they need to continue living their lives, blogs about Taylor Swift becoming a “lawsuit funder,” or to put it in industry-speak, a “litigation funder.” as she supports Kesha in her lawsuit with her producer, and Sony, over allegations of sexual abuse.
