Widow in US gets $23.6bn payout

I find this amazing.  I feel sorry for her loss, etc, but heck! She is now at least in the top 10 of the forbes 100 list by the stroke of a pen.  $23.6 million would have been bad enough, but billion?

I find it amazing that nobody has replied to this or that nobody thinks there is anything wrong with this.  What happened here was wealth-redistribution of the worst kind and is an absolute insult to most people.

Yep,I found out about it here and there's probably similar articles on other world news sites.  As I understand it he died of natural causes; dying of cancer, sorry, is dying of natural causes.  Same thing happened to my grandfather way-back-when, but did my grandmother get compenstion to the equivallent of $23.6bn?  No!  
With this ruling, a relatively unknown became very, very rich; a tobcco company was very badly affected and lord knows how many lawyers, etc, got very well paid.

I would say, yes.  There must be more to it...
