A New York man has filed a lawsuit demanding what is believed to be the largest amount of compensation ever after he was bitten by a dog. Anton Purisima, 62, is suing a long list of defendants including the City of New York, Au Bon Pain and Kmart, for $2,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000 Purisima filed his hand-written lawsuit in a Manhattan federal court on April 11 and is representing himself. Over the course of his 22-page lawsuit, Purisima claims that his middle finger was bitten off by a ‘rabies-infected’ dog on a city bus; before a ‘Chinese couple’ took unauthorized photos of him as he was being treated at a local hospital. Also in the rambling and often incoherent lawsuit, Purisima complains that he is routinely overcharged for coffee at LaGuardia Airport. The suit claims the pain and other additional damages he suffered ‘cannot be repaired by money’ and are ‘therefore priceless.’ Included in the suit as evidence is a photo of his bloodied finger. During his ordeal, Purisim claims he suffered civil rights violations, personal injury, discrimination on national origin, retaliation, harassment, fraud, attempted murder, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy to defraud. The full list of defendants in the case include Au Bon Pain, Carepoint Health, Hoboken University Medical Center, Kmart Store 7749, St. Luke's Emergency Dept., New York City Transit Authority, City of New York, NYC MTA, LaGuardia Airport Administration, Amy Caggiula and Does 1-1000 which refers to a thousand 'John Does'. The amount, which can also be referred to as two undecillion dollars - or the number two with 36 zeroes behind it - is more money than currently exists on the planet. ‘Even if Au Bon Pain conquers the planet and puts everyone to work for them from now until the stars die, they wouldn't make a dent in the bill,' reports What If? This isn’t Purisima’s first lawsuit. In last four years he has filed lawsuits against the People's Republic of China, several major banks (including Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, and Wachovia, the Commissioner of Social Security, Lang Lang International Music Foundation, and others. |
據(jù)英國(guó)《每日郵報(bào)》5月18日?qǐng)?bào)道，62歲紐約男子安東?普里西馬因被狗咬提起世上最貴訴訟。普里西馬起訴其中包括紐約市、Au Bon Pain 烘焙餐廳以及凱馬特公司在內(nèi)的一長(zhǎng)串被告，并向其它們索賠2乘以10的36次方美元美元。 據(jù)報(bào)道，4月11日，普里西馬在曼哈頓聯(lián)邦法庭提交了其手寫訴狀并親自出庭。在其長(zhǎng)達(dá)22頁(yè)的訴狀中普里西馬控訴稱，自己在公車上被一只“感染狂犬病”的狗咬傷中指，在當(dāng)?shù)蒯t(yī)院接受治療時(shí)，一對(duì)“華人夫妻”未經(jīng)允許就為他拍照。 同時(shí)，在這份雜亂無(wú)章、毫無(wú)邏輯的訴狀中，普里西馬還控訴稱自己在拉瓜迪亞機(jī)場(chǎng)喝咖啡時(shí)常被要價(jià)過(guò)高。他認(rèn)為自己所遭受的痛苦和附加傷害“無(wú)法用金錢彌補(bǔ)”，因而是“無(wú)價(jià)的”。訴狀中還附有一張流血手指的照片作為證據(jù)。 法庭上，普里西馬稱自己遭受公民權(quán)利被侵犯、人身傷害、民族歧視、打擊報(bào)復(fù)、騷擾、欺詐、謀殺未遂、故意精神傷害、共謀欺詐等傷害。被告人包括Au Bon Pain 烘焙餐廳、霍伯肯大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)中心、凱馬特超市7749、圣盧克急救中心、紐約市公共運(yùn)輸局、紐約市、紐約地鐵、拉瓜迪亞機(jī)場(chǎng)管理中心、 艾米?卡利古拉以及Does 1-1000（指1000個(gè)身份不明的人）。 而普里西馬索賠的金額2后面加36個(gè)零，則比當(dāng)今地球上所有的錢加起來(lái)都多。有報(bào)道戲言，即使Au Bon Pain烘焙餐廳征服了地球并下令所有人為它打工至地球毀滅，也付不起這筆金額。 據(jù)了解，這并非普里西馬的第一次訴訟。在過(guò)去四年中，他曾起訴過(guò)中國(guó)、富國(guó)銀行、摩根大通、美聯(lián)銀行等主要銀行、社會(huì)保障委員、朗朗國(guó)際音樂(lè)基金會(huì)等。 掃一掃，關(guān)注微博微信
