lol. lmao.
I always worder if these sums include the fee of the lawyer. Would really be a much smaller payout if true.
It shouldn't, generally the order will be worded something like "The plaintiff has been awarded $xxxxx.xx + legal fees " as in whatever legal fees they accrued the defendant will have to pay in addition
But then again, what do I know IANAL lol
You could do anal and read up on laws, just maybe not at once
What an amazing businessman!
Oh and he overpaid because he wanted the per-stock purchase stock to have the "420" gag. So instead of paying $53 per stock, he paid $54.20. That's a total of $150 million more for a stupid joke.
Is even worse, cos twitter stock was like 35 at the time or something
