It is just math, after all. DOJ already agreed to the minimum payout per person. What is to be argued is the *additional* damages to one of the two groups that suffered *additional* injury.
Additional payout, Part 1:
1. DOJ stipulated the damages for disclosing IRS data to the public is $1.776B per person whose tax data was disclosed.
2. Per Congressional statement, the number of people who had their IRS data revealed to the public was over 405,000 in the same year Spankee's IRS data was revealed.
Therefore, the total minimum amount owed to those people = $1.776B x 405,000 = $719,280,000,000,000.00.
Additional payout, Part 2:
There are TWO groups of people within the 405,000 people cited by Congress.
Group 1 would be Public Figures, who have no reasonable expectation of privacy as a result of them *being* Public Figures. They do NOT have any additional injury as a result of them having their IRS information revealed.
Group 2 would be people who are *not* Public Figures. They DO have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Thus having their IRS filings revealed would cause them *additional* injury due to malfeasance and dereliction of duty by the IRS. Additional damages would be (arbitrarily) treble the amount of the original injury amount--which has already been established by the DOJ as $1.776B per person. Thus, total payment to a person who was NOT a Public Figure would be $1.776B plus 3 x $1.776B = $7.104B per person.
Arbitrarily, of the 405,000 people whose tax records were made public, we will state 105,000 of them were Public Figures. That would mean 390,000 people were NOT Public Figures.
Now, we can determine the total amount immediately due and payable.
Group 1, Public Figures: 105,000 x $1.776B = $186,480,000,000,000.00
Group 2, NOT Public Figures: 309,000 x $1.776B = $692,640,000,000,000.00 PLUS DAMAGES (3x = $2,077,920,000,000,000) = $2,770,560,000,000,000.00
It is just money, so deficit finance all of it--by taxing the wealthy. Start at the richest and keep taking until "Paid in Full".

US 2026 deficit in excess of US $2-quadrillion.
How determined:
Per Donald Trump, damages to any person who had his/her tax return exposed by the IRS is the amount of $1.776B.
This has been certified in public by the US DOJ.
Per Congressional statement, 405,000 people had their tax returns exposed by the IRS the same year as Donald Trump.
Thus, each individual is owed *at least* $1.776B per Trump and the DOJ.
People Harmed Initial Damage/Person Total Initial Cost
405,000 $1,776,000,000 $719,280,000,000,000
There are two groups of individuals harmed.
Group 1 is "public figures", who do NOT have a reasonable expectation of privacy due to the fact they ARE public figures.
Group 2 is people who are NOT "public figures". They DO have a reasonable expectation of privacy due to the fact they are NOT public figures.
Individuals in Group 2 can reasonably assert they suffered ADDITIONAL injury as a result of the release of their IRS information.
For simplicity's sake, the amount of ADDITIONAL damages per person injured by the release of their information shall be treble the original stated damages.
Given a lack of information, the exact number of public and non-public individuals harmed at the same time as stipulated by Trump and the DOJ is unknown.
But we do know the total number of individuals harmed is 405,000.
For the purposes of this example, it will be the premise 105,000 individuals were public figures and 300,000 were not public figures.
This will permit a basic analysis to be performed using reasonable values already established by this administration.
