I think TTC is trying to say "how is this really going to be a deterant to others."

I think the size of the judgement just means the offender will never have anything of value ever again. Even if he does some sort of bankrupcy, owing $150B means if he owes somebody else $10K, the victim's partns still get 99.9999% of his assests.

So $15 million or $150 billion isn't relevant; just makes the point a little stronger.
