Ever been mad at someone? Perhaps someone doesn’t value your services, or tries to stiff you on your bills for services rendered? Don’t get mad – get even. Sue them for …[doing my best Dr. Evil impersonation] … 38 Quadrillion Dollars.
You heard me right. Just to give you an idea of how much money we are talking about, written out that is $38,000,000,000,000,000.00. Total world circulation is about $24 trillion, or by my math 1/1,583th of the claimed damages. As a bonus, the article manages to state the obvious without a hint of irony: “If [the defendant] loses the lawsuit and [plaintiff] is awarded $38 quadrillion, or perhaps 204 times that amount, [the defendant] said he is not sure how he will pay it.”
I’m just going to let the article do the talking on this one, with the one comment that the claims the plaintiff is making are epic, even in the wacky context of pro se representation (Really? Punitive damages of 204^3 times actual damages for breach of contract? On what planet?).
