What are the odds on the WT making a 'special appeal' for donations..? (sadly, we in England, are ignorant of what occurs in the USA and the American legal system)

CAN ANYONE SPARE A DONATION FOR THE WORLD WIDE WORK FOR $11.6 Million?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inthe society's will probably pay out $5-$7,000.000 on this award instead of filing an appeal.
the brother was fined 60 percent of the damages, the society held 40% of the liability of this lawsuit.. .
.40 x $28,000,000 is $11.6 million dollars!.

Greetings from Candace Conti
by AndersonsInfo incandace asked me to tell you thank you for all your kind expressions of support.
this really means a lot to her.
she wants you to know that she is coping well with all the stress and excitement, even though she's had years of anger and frustration because of being abused for so long, first by the molester, and then by the wt.

The WT probably sees a missed money-making opportunity. I can't see how this is an infringement of copyright because 'Sparlock' was created to be distributed free as a 'moral lesson'. 'Jehovah created the Watchtower, and the Watchtower created Sparlock'

Plaintiff awarded in punitive damages -21M & 1 dollar. Total award, 28M & 1 dollar. Here's more info
by AndersonsInfo inthe plaintiff, candace conti's goal from the very beginning was to bring enough attention to this problem to incentivize watchtower to change its policy of secrecy.
the award can be explained as it was decided: separate compensatory and punitive damages.
the punitive award is established in law to punish wrongdoing - here, the conscious disregard for others - and deter that conduct in the future.

I'm assuming Kendrick (perp) being a 'private individual' won't be finding $16Million down the back of his sofa. How does this work? Kendrick is an 'agent' of the WT (in this case), so will the WT be liable for his 'portion'?
