The very fact that they are claiming 2.7 billion in damages means that it WAS. Ad damnum clauses are often inflated, but they’re going to have to provide a bill of particulars, itemizing the alleged damages, and to scrape together that much harm, they had to have major economic interests, way beyond LA County.
“The very fact that they are claiming 2.7 billion in damages means that it WAS.”
I don’t see how that follows.
The damages don’t have anything to do with where their software was used in 2020. According to the complaint, the damages are about harm to reputation and therefore loss of future revenues (and they add in some other stuff like getting threatened, yadda yadda yadda.)
Look, like I said, I fully understand your frustration. I’m also saying I’ve read the complaint. (Well, I read the meat of the complaint.) It does not seem to me that it would be difficult for anyone to verify where their software was used. Just that ALONE makes this troublesome.
