'Unknown' Katrina Victim Files For $3 Quadrillion Lawsuit
By Can Tran Published Jan 10, 2008 Those who have suffered throughout the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 have put a price tag on their suffering. The victims of Hurricane Katrina have filed about 489,000 claims. Out of the 489,000 claims, the federal government has only received 247 of them seeking at least $1 billion a piece. There is one claim seeking 3 quadrillion dollars. This is the price tag that has been placed by the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Currently, the largest figure so far filed against the federal government is $3,014,170,389,176,410. This is for the damage from the failed levees and floor walls that came after Hurricane Katrina after August 29, 2005. The other largest figures were merely $1 billion a piece. “That’s the mother of all high numbers,” said Baton-Rouge based economist Loren Scott. He said that a mere one quadrillion dollars would dwarf the United States gross national product of $13.2 trillion in 2007. “I understand the anger,” he said. Scott adds: “I also understand it’s a negotiating tactic: Aim high and negotiate down.” There is not much known about who had filed the three quadrillion dollar suit. This was filed in Baker located 93 miles northwest of New Orleans. Baker is far from the core of Katrina’s destruction. However, Baker has a trailer park where hundreds of evacuees have lived ever since the ravaging by Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina has been blamed for over 1,600 deaths and is deemed the most destructive storm to hit the United States. Most of the claims were filed before the deadline. However, the Army Corps is still receiving those claims. The group doesn’t pass judgment on the merits of each claim as it’s up to the Federal courts. |

They probably couldnt write 3 quadrillion dollars down in numerical terms. I think I should get some of that money because I now have to live in a city where the crime rate is much higher because a lot of the victims moved here. They were all placed at an old mall here. I had a co-worker lose his dog and offer a reward. He got a call saying they found his dog over by that mall, so he went to the mall with the reward money and they robbed him at knifepoint.

3 quadrillion dollars seems fair since grandma's gumbo recipe was lost in the flood!

quadrillion here, quadrillion there...
Yes, the claim was made by an AIG executive who is looking for some insurance (pun intended) against paying back his multi-million dollar bonus....
After all, sooner or later the golden toilet bowl will need maintenance!! Maybe John Thayne will come over, brag about his diamond-encrusted toilet and then they'll have to get a new one!
