I can't comment for the specific headline case but quite frequently these are just made up numbers. Prosecutors make up whatever they can get away with... Public companies are required to report damages over X but when you find their quarterlies after a hacking incident it lists damages < X. See Sun & Kevin Mitnick. Either these companies are lying to the court, or they are lying to the SEC.
