nailed by a judge in rural NY because someone suing us convinced him

I'm not a lawyer, but I think that's how the legal system works.

damages were absurd

cheaper to pay the judgement than appeal

Seems like a contradiction.




It was a complex situation regarding a fintech SaaS and to appeal high enough to a court with actual expertise that’s not going to railroad us could have cost a lot. Plus our time and the chance the damages get worse.

All these legal eagles who think the courts operate with strict precision have no idea how things actually work. Hope everyone who has some glorified view of reality gets to actually pay for this beautiful system out of their own pocket.
