Any idea what this kid got before expenses? Any guess? If someone finds out, I'd like to know.

Just me, but I think way too many people bring civil cases, with high dollar hopes. I don't think it makes our country better (with some/a lot of the cases) for having done so. With that being stated, this kid and his friends were severely mis-characterized at the event, in many public forums. He will be recognized worldwide and villainized still by many. But, there comes a dollar value, at every individuals own limit where you think "Dang, I woulda gone through it for that money" especially since he has no reason to be ashamed and he can travel anywhere with his head held high.

Starting bid was $250,000,000.00. That's a lot of zeros! Half that? 1/4? 1/8? $5Mil? $1,000,000.00.

I'm probably a cheap date. I hate to say a point when I would have taken my bag of money and ran. Just for s**** and giggles, I'd like to know what it is worth to him. He is the only one who counts.

I hate frivolous lawsuits, but I see this as purely punitive. 250M is chicken feed and barely hurts these big guys.

Good for him

18 and that cash? he is about to order soooo may lapdances.

Apparently CNN and the WaPo thought he had a case or they wouldn't have settled.

Presumably the actual settlement was miniscule for their bottom line.

It would need to be over a billion for it to hurt.

For them to loose Probably hurts worse than money. When your that arrogant pride is worth more than money.

Well if it was widely publicized maybe. The MSMBS will quash it and most people will never know it happened. Making them devote as many minutes to the retraction as the did in the defamation would actually be punitive.
