- John_R._W._Cracken abstract "John R. W. Cracken is an American trial lawyer and private investor based in Dallas, Texas. He is the managing partner of The Cracken Law Firm PC. In 2010, Cracken and his co-counsel filed 69,608 individual actions in Texas state court on behalf of 69,608 consumers against the consumer reporting agency, Trans Union. This was reported by some as the largest mass filing, by a single law firm, in American history. DLA Piper represented Trans Union in the mass filing and in 2011 the matter settled for approximately $27 million. In 2009, Cracken and his co-counsel filed three mass actions in New Mexico state court on behalf of 123 customers against certain directors, officers, and employees of then-bankrupt Eclipse Aviation Corp. The employees were represented by a variety of law firms, including Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. The matter was settled in 2012 for approximately $41 million. Cracken normally litigates class actions and mass actions.Aside from the practice of law, Cracken and long-time private-investment partners John D. Harkey, Jr. and E. Gene Street, were heavily involved in the restaurant industry between 1997 and 2007. They acquired El Chico Restaurants, Inc. (formerly NASDAQ:ELCH), Spaghetti Warehouse, Inc. (formerly NYSE:SWH), along with a variety of private restaurant companies. The resulting company, Consolidated Restaurant Operations, Inc., owned and operated more than 100 full-service, casual-dining restaurants in America and abroad. In 2007 they employed more than 5,000 full and part-time employees. Harkey bought the majority of Cracken's and Street's shares in 2007.Between 1999 and 2001, Cracken and co-founders Harkey and Christopher Hipp co-founded RocketLogix, Inc. (which later became RLX Technologies, Inc.). Hipp invented what is now known as the “blade server”, which consolidated the components of a high-efficiency server on a single printed-circuit-board assembly. It enabled data centers to achieve a high density of servers in their Telco racks. Cracken and Hipp, as CEO and CTO respectively, raised approximately $60 million in venture capital for RLX. This included $40 million from noted financier and philanthropist George Soros. In order to bring RLX’s blade server to market they recruited the then-recently retired executive team from the systems division of former Compaq Computer Corporation. In 2005, HP bought RLX and today the blade server is offered by many of the top server makers in the world, including Cisco, Dell, HP, and IBM.".
