Judgments against corporations like this should never have a solid number. It should be a large percentage of annual profits you’re over here.
Country companies like alphabet already have a slush fund set aside to cover such expenses. These judgments against them mean absolutely nothing unless it actually hurts them.
It's Trump suing them in a civil trial. He wanted $22m or he would block Google from Billions in contracts.
In this case Trump is a beneficiary, so I would argue it makes sense to have a solid number
