Actually Phillip Morris is going to appeal so he may get even less. Byt the time there done with him and he's taxed, he probably will have less than $15M.

[FreakMonster]

$100M ain't shit these days. I could spend all that in a couple of years. Now $3B, that's alot of fucking money!

Ok, I just changed my lifetime ambition, he goes my plan as of now:

1. Move to America

2. Start smoking

3. Watch the big bucks roll in....

Why in the hell can you sue and win because you smoked cigarettes? It says right on the fucking package that it will kill you!
I have legitimate respiratory problems caused by breathing my dad's second hand smoke when I was a kid. If I sued over this I probably wouldn't win a damn thing!
