New Mexico's special prosecutor asks for $35–40 billion, Meta argues for a $3.45 billion cap, and the verdict's arithmetic ceiling is about $219 billion. We explain how the violations were counted, the excessive-fines argument, and what the judge's remarks suggest.
Questions
The jury's verdict implies a statutory ceiling of about $219 billion at $5,000 per violation, and the state is asking for $35–40 billion. Whether a judge can impose that depends on the excessive-fines and due-process challenges Meta raised. Judge Francis Mathew reportedly said at the hearing that he believes due process calls for a much smaller fine than requested.
