The payout per person in a class action law suit depends n the number of people involved, so $500 M might sound a huge amount but how many people will end up with a cut of it assuming they win the case.

First you have to win the case, second it depends on how many people joined in the case, third there is the appeal process and after all that you have to collect. Bringing a suit and prevailing is all fine, ask any attorney collecting the judgment is a whole other story.
