Can't squeeze blood from a turnip. Not even a blood turnip.

My guess is that the court award was to express outrage, not to accomplish anything financially. The penalty could have been a trillion dollars and it wouldn't have made a difference.

One might have thought Jones would be punished a little, but the verdict isn't going to affect him at all.
