Sounds like they'll never be able to pay for the damages, and they'll be assisting the FBI for quite some time.

This Is the biggest damages claim for an Individual I've come across.
Obviously he cannot afford to pay that amount, so they'll probably take ex-amount of dollars from his earnings for the remainder of his life.

Regardless, he'll never afford to pay that magnitude.

Yes, he will never pay. So he better off working to the FBI to do his time. Or spend a lot of time in jail.
