Let’s see… “sellers of more than 260,000 homes”… “the damages award can be tripled under U.S. antitrust law to more than $5.3 billion”… so, after the lawyers get paid, court costs, and other bullshit, each homeowner who was robbed by the system will get a check of about $3. Justice served!
Actually, even if you took half for the lawyers (they’d get less) and assumed both buyers and sellers would get money back, 5.3billion would still be like $5,000 for each buyer and each seller.
Not “get rich” money, but a hell of a lot more than three bucks.
It was a joke. I wasn’t going for accuracy. The joke was that seemingly “huge” judgments don’t seem to find their way to the parties that were actually damaged, especially in class action lawsuits.
5.3e9/260e3 = 20,384.615384615
There’s no way you’re getting from over 20 grand to 3 dollars with nothing but lawyers and court costs. Your math is bad.
It was a joke. I’ve explained elsewhere in the thread.
