So does this stick a fork in the expansion franchise possibilities?

We should have demanded it in bitcoin.

And a public apology letter.

$275M in lawyer's fees is insane. Just some quick math on this, but at an average of $1000 per hour, that's 132 lawyers working on it for 40 hours a week for a full year.

I know it doesn't work like that, but still.
