Funimation wins:
- $50,000 in attorney fees.
- $7,504 in additional cost
- $5,000 in sanctions (Funimation sought over $175,000 here.)
Defendants Monica Rial and James Toye win:
- $50,000 each in attorney fees
- $15,927 in additional cost
- $5,000 in sanctions (between attorney fees and sanctions, Rial and Toye were looking for a half a million dollars)
Jamie Marchi wins:
- $48,137 in attorney fees
- $1,874 in costs
- $5,000 in sanctions (unlike the other defendants, Marchi pretty much got what she wanted)
That's a hefty penalty, but it could've been far worse: $238,442.
He has appealed. If he loses, the penalty goes up:
- If he appeals and loses, it's $50,000 more to Funimation and Marchi, $55,000 jointly to Rial and Toye, and $37,500 for Marchi
- If a third party appeals and it loses, they all get half that, more or less.
- There is additional sanction if it makes the Texas Supreme Court with no change, and if it makes oral arguments there.
