When the date of the court's verdict came, Link came to the courthouse again in a suit. The judge was again half an hour late. At half-past nine, the judge will appear in the courtroom.

In the gloomy face of the defendant Hull Donald, the female judge in her seventies read out the verdict in a slow and leisurely voice, with a solemn expression: "...... Defendant Hull Donald is required to pay $7.6 million for defamation damages, $62.8 million for actual damages, and $5.7 million for moral damages for defamation. The defendant ordered the defendant to pay $48.6 million in damages to Link Hans, the owner of Blue Lagoon Wines, for unfair business competition in a malicious and defamatory manner, totaling ......"

The defendant did not immediately accept the judge's decision, but it did not immediately indicate that it would appeal. In an interview outside the courthouse, Donald's lawyer said he would not waive his right to appeal.

The judge had already communicated with the two lawyers before reading the sentences, and Donald's lawyers certainly knew that those sentences were fine. But it was Hull Donald who decided whether to appeal or not.

When Hull Donald heard that he was going to pay more than $120 million to Link, he was so stunned that he forgot to be angry. He didn't expect that in the past two days, he had found so much media to publicize that there was a lot of doubtful evidence in this trial, and the judge still awarded him such a huge amount of compensation.

Especially the actual loss, he really couldn't figure out what it was, and why it was so high that it was more than 60 million dollars.

"SH*T,. Why did the old woman judge like that? Could it be that Link Hans was her grandson?" "And you, doesn't it mean that as long as we concentrate on dealing with it, the court won't impose heavy fines?

His lawyer also unceremoniously yelled at him: "How is it judged? A top 30 richest man in the United States will be paid for mental damage and reputation damage, which is enough to make you bankrupt." Do you know how much Blue Lagoon wine is selling right now? 500 million dollars a month! 60 million a lot?

Donald also knew that it was useless to yell at the lawyer now: "If we appeal, is there any chance of overturning this verdict?"

"Unlikely!" his lawyer said with a dark face and shaking his head. "A lot of the evidence has been confirmed by this trial. Most importantly, political correctness!"

After the last trial, he felt that letting the jury make a decision that would make them lose the case in a short period of time was mainly that Hul Donald had a fatal problem, racism, which made all the white juries reluctant to speak for them. Opposing racism is the political correctness of American society now.

The racial antagonism of the previous years had already destabilized American society, and the superstructure needed to keep racial sentiment in the United States at semblance. And ordinary people also want social stability in the United States. So racial equality is more politically correct in modern America than ever before.

"Damn it!" Donald said with a tugging of his hair, squealing in a suppressed voice. "That's going to break me!"

He can afford to pay more than 100 million, but the loss will also make him very distressed. And receiving this verdict, his business is likely to be ruined. And he'll have to deal with Link's possible next offensive. That might even disqualify him from doing business.

He was right, Link did have a further plan for him.

Link Chunfeng proudly accepted an interview with reporters and simply answered a few questions. After getting into the car, he said to McCully, "Didn't the New York monitors say there was no evidence of Hull Donald's unfair business competition? ”

McCully laughs, "I've contacted several previous companies that have been dealt with by Hull Donald in the same way. They also agreed to act together!"

"Tell them. I can lend them $20 million to fight the lawsuit. If I win, I don't need interest. If the lawsuit is lost, the money should be invested in their company. That money can be used to buy a corresponding number of shares in their company at a premium of 100%. ”

"Okay, I'll take care of it. ”

The marketing companies or teams that have been competed by Hull Donald with unfair means before are not well capitalized, so the most they can say a few words in the media after suffering losses is not.

But if now they join forces to file a lawsuit, there is Link's support. Donald is crippled, if not dead.

"I'll let Douglas and them come and collect evidence, and you act as a liaison with those companies. Questions?"

McCully immediately said, "Of course not. "Although that would have him running from Las Vegas to New York a lot. But for American lawyers, New York is certainly a better place to be. He might be able to make a name for himself in New York and even develop his business in New York.

"You also have to pay attention to public opinion. I believe that with the urine nature of the New York prosecutors, they will definitely not change their minds because of my case. Even if those companies win the case, they may be stubborn. I think it's only the pressure from the media that will make them want to change their tune. ”

"I know what to do?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "I don't need to hide the fact that I fund those companies!"

McCully smiled, he liked a boss like Link. A boss who is not afraid of things is a good thing for them as private lawyers. If the boss is willing to do something, their lawyers can have something to do. He said, "Yes!"

Link nodded, and then said to Matthew and Bella, "I don't think Hull Donald is so willing to accept reality so easily. Follow closely in the matters of court enforcement. ”

Matthew and Bella nodded at the same time. Matthew smiled and said, "Don't worry." Among them are our attorney's fees. "According to the contract between them. In such a civil case with compensation, after receiving compensation, the lawyer can receive a portion as attorney's fees. If the court decides, the three of them can get a total of more than six million dollars.

The enforcement of judicial decisions in the United States is still very good. But he couldn't afford to be unguarded by Hul Donald's resorts.

His goal was to get Hull Donald in trouble, and the bigger the trouble, the better.

Doesn't Donald like to make trouble for others? Link will treat others the way he does.

If those companies can win Hull Donald, he and his C&C&C should go bankrupt.

Even if he didn't win, Donald didn't have the energy to appeal in Link's case. He believed that the 120 million alone could hurt the other party. And it can also make the other party not want to do business for a year and a half.

Link took the initiative to engage Donald this time just to let people in the United States who were hostile to him know. He is low-key, but after provoking him, he has the final say when to stop! And he also has the ability to make the person who provoked him feel bad.

"Also, when will the prosecution of those media outlets begin?"

"Link, this case has upheld your claim for moral damage and reputational damage, and even if you win the case, the court will not support your claim for too many damages. ”

Link sneered and said, "What about the loss of Blue Lagoon wine?"

Matthew: They didn't understand.

Link took out a bottle of champagne from the car's wine cabinet, opened it, poured a few glasses, and said, "I think this case will definitely attract a lot of attention." There will be a lot of people who check their websites for those news. ”

"I did get that kind of stats before. Bella understood what he meant. "I did find evidence that the media had been putting the news on their websites for a while. ”

As long as those news were still on the site, Link could say that their slander affected the sale of Blue Lagoon wines. Although the court's judgment just now upheld Link's claim for damages for the loss of sales of Blue Lagoon wines.

But Link's claim for compensation is more than 200 million. That number, while exaggerated, was calculated according to a formula recognized by U.S. law. So this part of the loss is still so much worse. He made a claim, and the court could not disserve his claim on the ground that he had already been compensated for the damages.

And now that he has won Hull Donald, it is also a testament to the fact that those media outlets used unverified information for subjective reporting.

That's terrible for the media, and it could make them accept the same punitive damages. At the same time, journalists or commentators may be banned from working as journalists or similar professionals.

However, the media did not know that Link had started plotting against Hull Donald's money before he could get his hands on them. They are all busy reporting on today's verdict.

Link's case was pronounced not long after the verdict ended. Most of the major media outlets in the United States are covering it.

If Donald does not appeal. This is probably the highest single plaintiff civil case in U.S. history, with the highest amount of damages. More than $120 million, and more than $60 million in actual damages. This is rare in the history of American justice.

A number of media outlets interviewed the judge in the case. Some television stations brought in experts from the legal profession to analyze the case.

The case was once again unfolding in front of the Americans from beginning to end. The $120 million compensation judgment has attracted the attention of many foreign media.

Link's fame, and his photographs, spread around the world. Especially in China, many Chinese suddenly know that there is a super-rich young Chinese in the United States. And this man is still a young man who is only twenty-five years old.

He's not particularly low-key in the U.S. either. And the United States has also reported a lot about him. The ability of netizens to climb the wall, coupled with the fact that there are many Chinese temporarily living in the United States, such as international students, such as those who come to work temporarily; and Chinese who have just immigrated for a few years, usually have contacts with domestic friends.

All of a sudden, the name Link Hans became very loud in China.

Young rich people are not uncommon. But at least half of the people in this world who can become young and rich rely on their fathers. A small part of it is on its own.

But no matter what these people rely on, they can't compare to the magic of Link, a Chinese who started out of gambling. From an ordinary waiter in Las Vegas to a super-rich person in the top 30 in the United States, it took less than four years. It's a dream.

As for how much Link has a net worth, there are people speculating. Because Link's asset composition is very different from other wealthy people. Other billionaires though. But that's all industry, or even just shares. So Link's specific worth can't get actual data.

Link he has a bank though. But the billions of assets of the bank, all in cash. The bank has no business at all and has no reputation, so there are no so-called intangible assets. His other businesses were the big farms and the facilities on them.

But it's these farms that make him billions of dollars a year without having to do anything. In addition, he sells wine, which can make billions of dollars a year.

A young Chinese netizen climbed the wall to his social networking site and asked in Chinese: "Dude! I guess, your father is called God, and your mother is called Lady Luck." ”

Maybe this netizen thinks he's an ABC. Because all the media said that he was born in the United States and was adopted by white Americans as a child.

But a Chinese reply stands out in a bunch of English. Link saw it at a glance.

He smiled @ this netizen and replied in Chinese: "No, my mother's surname is Lin, from China!"
