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
I assume the attorney's fees is one of many reasons the amount increased. Because they insisted on doing things the hard way.
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
