Two defendants who were charged of deceptive advertising (they placed adds scaring customers into purchasing rouge security software) agreed to a settlement deal where they paid back $1.9 million no longer have to pay back all the money. Why -- they don't have that kind of cash anymore. SO they only owe $116,697 (who makes up these numbers?)
I guess some money is better than none, but why give out judgments that you know will never be paid? Good press in that the public thinks someone is truly being punished would be my guess.
