Well that's a hysterically minuscule number.

Been about 35 years since the Enron decision. Wonder if they've managed to collect on that yet?

That spill in Alaska, what was it called? So long ago i was a kiddo, don't think that money got collected neither. It effin nuked the town which relied on fishing iirc, and the company just... Never paid. Shit, what was it called?

Anyway this will be the same.
