It’s because of the role he filled. Or maybe it’s just because the appellate court thought the judgment is wrong? The reason is all speculation and I’m just speculating about why I think it happened. I’m not surprised it was reduced and I really don’t care if he has to pay $175 million or $400 million for the bond. The outrage here surprises me but will fade by tomorrow.
