Weird how TRS is celebrating this as a victory, they are delusional.

I've heard somber talk from some of their people, but the celebration mostly goes that Charges 1 and 2 were not accounted for or that the defendants do not have enough money to pay damages.

I also heard punitive damages can't be over 10x bigger than compensantory, supreme court case State Farm vs. Campbell made that ruling.

So people who are only guilty on third charge are only going to pay under $100 and not $500k.

Ok this could make sense if they are only paying $100 but I'm not really seeing that more than just a couple comments.

Regardless of this, they are still finding a way and banking on the fact there are 25 defendants listed to pay all the damages. Who knows if they apply the same strategy elsewhere, to groups who actually have money and are more likely to retain such until their civil suits conclude.
