But as in my original post, even assuming without conceding that he was in strict violation of a law that applied to him (and graffiti), the actual dollar amount of the the verdict is ridiculously high..... like some kind of tort punitive damage award to send an example to the world.

Except it was the judge, not the advisory jury that determined dollar amount of the verdict. I could be wrong, but I do not believe the jury returned any recommendation regarding the amount.
Again, I don't know the procedure. But he was a Clinton appointee, I think.
Civil law & litigation was never my strong suit. And it shows.
