I would hazard a guess that the costs awarded are in the neighborhood of $150,000 -$200,000.00 due to the time and effort expended to obtain the judgement by the plaintiffs. Bare in mind that this is only my best guess. So , all in all , the guilty parties are going to take a huge monitary hit. "Hit them in the pocketbook" is the true deterrent to future aspiring bashers in my view.
In MBs case I think he probably will just file for bankruptcy. Yet this signals that regulators are watching, and certainly watching this TLT board, probably other TLT boards. Maybe the shorters have moved on due to this, great for us!
