My understanding is a lot of the excessiveness was due to the behavior of the defendant. They ignored court orders, they repeatedly tried to make a joke out of it and all around refused to take it seriously. This lead the judge to using the large end of the stick.

I wouldn't be surprised if Thiel had huge footprint on Judge decision, which of course I cannot prove.
