> My point is that this is a ridiculous penalty for the violations alleged, and simple punitive damages for misrepresented information would have been appropriate. A "slap on the wrist", as it were. Is a fine even possible as a remedy here under Delaware law? Tornetta didn't ask for it, there appears to be no discussion of a fine even as a possible remedy in the decision, and I'm not sure whether Delaware law allows for a fine in the first place. The closest thing is the discussion about the defendants failing to "identify any logically defensible delta between the unfair Grant and a fair one", so the court was basically left with leaving the grant intact or ordering recission, and it seems in that case the general bias is against the wrongdoer.
