I'd gladly take such a payout.

Split 2 ways, that is still 300k.

Parked in an investment at 5% a year, that's an easy +$15,000/year for the rest of your life.

Once the lawyers take their cut, you could probably split a ham sandwich between the two of you.

      Compensatory damages aren't taxable income.

        Bzzt.

        Generally taxable unless exclusion applies. Main exclusion is personal injury.

        Why isn't regular income compensatory damage then?

Which investment is that?

  • edm0nd 3 days ago

    There are plenty of stocks, REITs, or ETFs that offer such returns.

    Me, personally, I'd dump it into $O aka Realty Income or JEPI or JEPQ.

    If you are risk adverse, just park it in VOO or SCHD.

How much did they spend on lawyers?

    I would guess this would be a contingency case, which would typically be 40%.

      What about the criminal lawyers that they needed when they charged with crimes? Did they get any money?
