wtf man
Come on, let's at least be professional! It's no wonder that some members and former members of this site bemoan its quality, as well as the quality of its stories. ONE BEELYUN DOLLARS?! Isn't decent English a reasonable expectation from a professional source? It's not even a good joke.
To anyone who meta-moderates and bumps these stories, I thought we we're better than repeating in-jokes.
Also, there's a typo.
Also, I think the billion dollar fine is a bit much. As it's been said before, other lawsuits concerning much graver, more depraved actions and situations come nowhere near this fine, yet they deserve to be at the very least the same. The fine is also not even going to be paid, not in full at least, simply because the defendant does not have the means to pay it. So for all intents and purposes, the fine doesn't even really matter. He should have gotten a reasonable punishment he deserved, and the victims of his actions should be able to see justice served, and in this case, the justice is the full payout of everything legitimately owed to them.
