Now, instead of paying Rooney the draft severance amount worth a little more than $25,000, Twitter, which is now called X, has to pay Rooney more than $600,000

I always worder if these sums include the fee of the lawyer. Would really be a much smaller payout if true.

It shouldn't, generally the order will be worded something like "The plaintiff has been awarded $xxxxx.xx + legal fees " as in whatever legal fees they accrued the defendant will have to pay in addition

But then again, what do I know IANAL lol

I assume the attorney's fees is one of many reasons the amount increased. Because they insisted on doing things the hard way.

This is the same guy who paid $44+ billion for Twitter so he could use it to have a personal conversation with a genuine retard.
