Hey, I hate junk faxes as much as the next guy. But $2.2 trillion? That's more than even the greedy tobacco lawyers wanted. This is rediculous. The lawyers have no shame.
The law specifies a $500 penalty per junk fax ($1500 if the fax was sent in knowing and willful violation of the law). These spammers have sent a
lot of junk faxes -- enough to incur $2.2 trillion in liability even at the lower figure (actually, it would make sense to charge them the full $6.6. trillion, simply to establish for the record that they knew perfectly well that they were breaking the law).
Of course, the plaintiff won't actually be able to extract more than the entire assets of the spamhaus company, but that's a different issue.
