Mindy, maybe Judge Brewster will come up with a half-pi punishment, half way between no cost as per my legal judgment [note that it was done for no charge, before breakfast = lower cost than QCOM pays for worse advice], and $3,141,592,653.59. Rounded, that would be about $1.5 bn. That would still be enough to get a standing ovation in the Inns of Court innsofcourt.org Just as Tiger Woods tries to beat Jack Niklaus's record, judges want to give the biggest fine. Issuing parking fines is not the big league. Any garden variety judge can issue fines of $millions, tens of $millions, or even hundreds of $millions. Few are into the ethereal metaphysical stakes of the $billions. Juries like to be in the BIG AWARDS running too. Judges often cut their awards back [professional envy I guess]. <Maybe $2bn wouldn't be out of the question. Less than $1bn would barely make the newspapers and probably not tv. There's a big cash pie to be divvied up and Judge Rudi wants his share of it. I will guess $3,141,592,653.59 is the penalty he'll charge. > I hope he isn't planning a unilateral charge in a legal ambush, out of the blue, without consultation and a serious attempt to negotiate with me and other shareholders. Meanwhile, here's some JVT reading for those with insomnia. ftp3.itu.ch That was just a handy link I found by asking Google. I bet there are plenty of incriminating items in there showing that lots of people would have seen QUALCOMM people skulking in cloaks with daggers at the ready, especially in meeting lists. Mqurice
