    Maybe his lawyers shouldn’t have accidentally leaked all those text messages showing how undeniably guilty he was to the opposition and then refuse to answer when the opposition asked if it was a mistake and the jury wouldn’t have awarded that level of damages.

      “They ruined our lives so we should at the very least be able to ruin him financially for the rest of his life”. I doubt any of this is going to be paid. Ill set up a butt slapping line a mile out if he pays 1 billion dollars.

        He can’t get any more juicy loans with that judgement hanging over his head. His companies will be wound down & closed. They will also come after almost everything he’s put into his parents names.
