    $320,000 is the legal fees. The post/article mentions the damages they’re seeking too, which is $200,000,000.

    I didn’t read the article though, so I don’t know if they are/n’t getting it (or if it hasn’t been decided yet).

      Yeah I added an edit when I realized the article doesn’t say whether or not the lawsuit is over.
