Very probably so but I couldn’t find much in the way of history. First thing is that an appeals court would have to hear the case and I’m clueless on those odds.

$2.75 trillion!!!
Seems reasonable, I guess.
The jury's $965 million dollar verdict for compensatory damages also included the finding that the plaintiffs are additionally entitled to punitive damages. Judges determine the amount of punitive damages in Connecticut.jason_recliner wrote: ↑October 24th 2022, 6:29pmAt the risk of continuing to miss the point...

2023 3flushes Media.^^^ All good points and well reasoned. I think they missed a trick not going for a gazillion dollars. Or maybe a googol dollars - all the dollars in the observable universe.3Flushes wrote: ↑October 25th 2022, 4:04amThe jury's $965 million dollar verdict for compensatory damages also included the finding that the plaintiffs are additionally entitled to punitive damages.

$2.75 trillion was merely a suggestion from the plaintiffs who offered several formulations in asking the judge to award them the maximum possible amount allowable. Jones' lawyers have filed motions for a new trial and for a reduction of the compensatory damages which are comprised of 15 separate awards ranging $28.8 million to $120 million.
Given Jones was found to have unlawfully profited by the sale of Info Wars licensed merchandise and otherwise soliciting funds using statements he knew to be false, Jones could be held liable in punitive damages for up to $5,000 per exposure of a false statement which has been estimated to be 550 million exposures between IW's site, and their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
With punitive damages in the millions tacked on, the total damages are likely to range in the $100's of millions regardless of any reduction. Given the value of Info Wars and its parent company are estimated to be worth between $130 and $270 million, Jones will likely be left with barely a subsistence income.
The plaintiffs have a long journey ahead before they'll be enforcing any judgments but Jones will be hemorrhaging legal fees to the end of the road . And given his egregious actions, I suspect he won't be receiving much leniency from judges in the trial, bankruptcy, or appellate courts. By the time Jones pays his lawyers off he probably won't be able to rent a room at the Y as the plaintiffs split up whatever money and assets that are ultimately to be set aside by the courts.
Reasonable indeed. Very.
Why, by the time all of the cases are adjudicated I think you may well be correct, by golly.jason_recliner wrote: ↑October 26th 2022, 1:01am... I think they missed a trick not going for a gazillion dollars. Or maybe a googol dollars - all the dollars in the observable universe.

In this case the difference between an agreed payment of a specific amount and a theoretical amount with no agreement to pay it or any portion.
The 36 million will actually change hands. The trillion dollar award hasn’t even happened and thus far the 900 million hasn’t seen one damn nickel get paid.
The 36 million is 36 million. The trillion is vapor.
How about we reconvene in a year or two to assess the payments? It’s possible the Sandy Hook plaintiffs will have collected 36 million or more but I’ll wager it will be still a matter of contention with little actual money.
We could wager a bottle. My Suntori single malt against something of your choosing - just not Purple Death.
Hahaha! Sweeet! Unfortunately the legendary and iconic NT Draught seems to no longer be in production (this country's stuffed!).
It was real big in Chi when I was growing up, too. In college we used to call it "Dog Style," because it tasted like dog piss. I believe it was the first kind of beer I ever drank as a young shaver. I went over to hard liquor pretty quick.
Yet can still enjoy a huge mug of lager on occasions--------allegedly
The proposed “over / under” amount is the 36 million. If at an agreed point a year or two hence the Sandy Hook plaintiffs have received less than 36 million total (after attorney fees) I win. If they receive a cumulative 36 million or more then you get a fifth of Suntory 12 year single malt.jason_recliner wrote: ↑October 31st 2022, 4:58pm…
So, to clarify, the bet is that you win if the Sandy Hook families receive one cent less than 2.75 trillion dollars? Yeah, okay, you're on! Better send me your address...
Are you a shiraz or a merlot man?
