Pearson is demanding $65,462,500. The original alteration work on the pants cost $10.50.
...
But Pearson pushes on. How does he get to $65 million? The District's consumer protection law provides for damages of $1,500 per violation per day. Pearson started multiplying: 12 violations over 1,200 days, times three defendants. A pant leg here, a pant leg there, and soon, you're talking $65 million.
I hope the judge or appeals court (if it gets that far) knocks about, oh lets say, 65 million off of that amount.
What a tool.
