I know.

They were found to have defamed Mann.

To compensate for the damage to Mann's character, they were ordered to pay $1 each.

Can you believe how much money Mann is going to end up losing on his fiasco?

It's perfect!

MINUS $532,800

I wonder how much the court sanctions on Mann and his lawyers will end up costing?
$1 million? More? LOL!
He might have to sell his Nobel Prize.
