Or pay their court penalties.

After the 1989 grounding of the Exxon Valdez oil tanker, an Anchorage jury awarded $287 million for actual damages and $5 billion for punitive damages. The punitive damages amount was equal to a single year's profit by Exxon at that time.

Exxon appealed the decision again and again and again over the next 15 years. The punitive damages award was cut from $5 billion to $4 billion to $2.5 billion to $507.5 million before any of the fishermen received their pittance.
