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.
据英国《每日邮报》5月18日报道,62岁纽约男子安东•普里西马因被狗咬提起世上最贵诉讼。普里西马起诉其中包括纽约市、Au Bon Pain 烘焙餐厅以及凯马特公司在内的一长串被告,并向其它们索赔2乘以10的36次方美元美元。
据报道,4月11日,普里西马在曼哈顿联邦法庭提交了其手写诉状并亲自出庭。在其长达22页的诉状中普里西马控诉称,自己在公车上被一只“感染狂犬病”的狗咬伤中指,在当地医院接受治疗时,一对“华人夫妻”未经允许就为他拍照。
同时,在这份杂乱无章、毫无逻辑的诉状中,普里西马还控诉称自己在拉瓜迪亚机场喝咖啡时常被要价过高。他认为自己所遭受的痛苦和附加伤害“无法用金钱弥补”,因而是“无价的”。诉状中还附有一张流血手指的照片作为证据。
法庭上,普里西马称自己遭受公民权利被侵犯、人身伤害、民族歧视、打击报复、骚扰、欺诈、谋杀未遂、故意精神伤害、共谋欺诈等伤害。被告人包括Au Bon Pain 烘焙餐厅、霍伯肯大学医学中心、凯马特超市7749、圣卢克急救中心、纽约市公共运输局、纽约市、纽约地铁、拉瓜迪亚机场管理中心、 艾米•卡利古拉以及Does 1-1000(指1000个身份不明的人)。
而普里西马索赔的金额2后面加36个零,则比当今地球上所有的钱加起来都多。有报道戏言,即使Au Bon Pain烘焙餐厅征服了地球并下令所有人为它打工至地球毁灭,也付不起这笔金额。
据了解,这并非普里西马的第一次诉讼。在过去四年中,他曾起诉过中国、富国银行、摩根大通、美联银行等主要银行、社会保障委员、朗朗国际音乐基金会等。
