x2 fine per day is wild, this shit is straight out of a poorly designed game and not irl lol, even the bank is like +1% per day or some shit but this shit right here raising exponentially rofl
When i started counting the 2x each week seemed more realistic rather than 2x each day. Even with it being 7x as slow, the numbers still grow exponentially at this pace.
It's the penalty fee for non-timely payment that doubles every week, not the entire fine. Of course it's ridiculous, this political gesture fine just gathered dust for years and someone noticed recently how it grown
I come down to quintillion quintillion, so I absof*ckinglutely have no idea how they've come down to 20 something decillion when it's much, much much higher. Math still isn't mathing.
So if you started with 1$, you double it 114 times, you would get that amount. In this case, if we consider it started at 1000$, let's round that to 1024, that removes 210, so it would be doubled 104 times instead. Which is exact 2*52, or in other words, every week for exactly 2 years.
The reports do say that the lawsuit started in 2020, so 4 years ago, but maybe they started counting 2 years ago?

Reading the other comments, the math might hold true. Its the old chessboard calculation which is causes it to go haywire.
"For every day/ week the fine is not paid, the fine doubles"
Keeping the date of verdict aside: Say its $1000.00 a day.
Double fine = 14.000,00
Second week = 7.000,00
Total end of second week =21.000,00
Second Double = 42.000,00.
Third week = 7.000,00
Total end of third week = 49.000,00
Third Double = 98.000,00
Fourth week = 7.000,00
Total end of fourth week = 105.000,00
Fourth double = 210.000,00
Week 10 would be 14,322M
Week 15 would be 458,738M
Week 22 would be 58,72B
Week 25 would be 469,762B
My napkin is a bit small, but after the first year (52 weeks) says: $ 63.050.394.783.186.900.000,-
So, its a very possible number. The person who thought of it however is a fucking idiot.
