A further read on the ruling indicates a max of $7,000 per claimant. At present the number of claimants has not been fully established. $6M was set aside to accommodate class action claimants. If three actually apply for damages Target pays $21,000 plus $20,000 initially, and all the other training, certificates, et al already mentioned. If 857 claimants can be presented then the &6M is gone. If MORE than 857 claimants show up, they get LESS. If three million show up, they get two bucks apiece. :)

At any rate, the fellow who started the whole thing can't recover damages greater than $7,000.

Only the lawyers won.
