Mom Sues NYC for $900 Trillion



NEW YORK -- A 46-year old woman is suing the city of New York for $900 trillion for removing her children from her custody and put them in foster care back in 2008.

Fausat Ogunbayo, 46, is suing the city and its Administration for Children’s Services for “over three years of terror, horror, grievous harm, time lost, substantial economic hardship and injuries” to her family, according to court documents.

The children, then 12 and 10, were removed because Ogunbayo was mentally ill and refused treatment, according to the ACS.
Ogunbayo reportedly suffered from hallucinations and left her boys unsupervised.
In one instance, court documents also show Ogunbayo told doctors her children’s skin was getting darker because of radiation and the FBI was out to get them.

According to the city, Child Services received several complaints about Ogunbayo’s alleged mistreatment of her children in 2008.
She denies the allegations.

Last month, an appellate court, vacated a Family Court finding of neglect and reportedly said that there’s no evidence supporting the claim that the kids were in “imminent danger” of harm.

The Staten Island Advance reports that in fact, the two children had near-perfect school attendance and were "even thriving academically."

Ogunbayo is representing herself in court.

The children remain in ACS custody.

:1orglaugh ''representing herself in court'' ... uh.... yeah! :rofl2:

It sounds to me like she's still mentally ill.

I love the ending of the article:

...

As for Ogunbayo's $900 trillion demand, Forbes provides some perspective:

The largest City settlement to an individual is $18,278,000 to James McMillan who suffered paralyzing injuries in the 2003 Staten Island Ferry dock crash that killed 11 passengers...And the national debt is $15 trillion.

That woman is really the new definition of insanity. Guess she wants to gracefully accept a backroom deal sometime down the road, and even cut out the percentage she would have to give an attourney.

Yeah, stupid, try and settle just for doubling the national debt, that will work out :1orglaugh

If I had $900 Trillion, I'd be so happy.

There's a time to throw out frivolous cases.

frivolous lawsuit: In law, frivolous litigation is the practice of starting or carrying on law suits that have little to no chance of winning.

If I had $900 Trillion, I'd be so happy.

Temporarily.

I've often thought the same thing about Shia LaBeouf. Fuckers obviously a feriner, what wit' a name liek dat. Shouldn't be making 'Merican movies.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

900 trillion. :1orglaugh

Wow.

 

[Ulysses31]

Obviously this is stupid and she has no chance of getting that amount but why do American courts payout such huge sums sometimes, you almost can't blame people for trying their luck as you'd get more if you won a case than if you won the lottery. I'm not saying the people awarded money didn't deserve compensation but some of the amounts are obscene and many others could lose their jobs when a firm/hospital is involved

I love you PCers, I really do. :1orglaugh

Unbelieveable .... The court system in New York is bogged down as it is... I hope the City Attorney makes a plea for dismissal and the judge agrees.

What a waste of taxpayer's money. Such nonsense!

People like her should only be able to sue for the same amount in cash that they have in brain cells.

 

[StanScratch]

You know, you people act like 900 trillion is a lot of money. It really isn't. I once had 900 trillion - it is amazing how quickly you can piss that off on scratch off tickets. The good news is, I won a free scratch off ticket! Winning!

How to Turn 100 Trillion Dollars Into Five and Feel Good About It
The Highest-Denominated Bill Ever Issued Gives Value to Worthless Zimbabwe Currency

A 100-trillion-dollar bill, it turns out, is worth about $5.
Associated Press

A man in Harare, Zimbabwe, carried cash for groceries in 2008.

That's the going rate for Zimbabwe's highest denomination note, the biggest ever produced for legal tender—and a national symbol of monetary policy run amok. At one point in 2009, a hundred-trillion-dollar bill couldn't buy a bus ticket in the capital of Harare.

But since then the value of the Zimbabwe dollar has soared. Not in Zimbabwe, where the currency has been abandoned, but on eBay.

The notes are a hot commodity among currency collectors and novelty buyers, fetching 15 times what they were officially worth in circulation. In the past decade, President Robert Mugabe and his allies attempted to prop up the economy—and their government—by printing money. Instead, the country's central bankers sparked hyperinflation by issuing bills with more zeros.

The 100-trillion-dollar note, circulated for just a few months before the Zimbabwe dollar was officially abandoned as the country's legal currency in 2009, marked the daily limit people were allowed to withdraw from their bank accounts. Prices rose, wreaking havoc.

The runaway inflation forced Zimbabweans to wait in line to buy bread, toothpaste and other essentials. They often carried bigger bags for their money than the few items they could afford with a devalued currency.

Today, all transactions are in foreign currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar and the South African rand. But Zimbabwe's worthless bills are valuable—at least outside the country. That Zimbabwe's currency happened to be denoted in dollars has amplified appeal, say currency dealers and collectors, particularly after the global financial crisis and mounting public debts sparked inflationary fears in the U.S.

"People pick them up and make jokes about when that's going to happen here," says David Laties, owner of the Educational Coin Company, a currency wholesaler based in Highland, N.Y.

Dealers prescient enough to buy Zimbabwe's biggest notes while they were in circulation are now taking their investment to the bank. Mr. Laties spent $150,000 buying bills from people in South Africa and Tanzania with experience moving currency and other clandestine cargo, including migrants, across Zimbabwe's borders. Sensing that Zimbabwe's last dollars would be "the best notes ever" on the collector's market, he even fronted $5,000 to someone who approached him over the Internet.

"It worked out," he says. "I got my notes."

Frank Templeton, a retired Wall Street equities trader, bought "quintillions of Zimbabwe dollars" through a broker from Zimbabwe's central bank. On eBay, he now does a brisk trade in the bills from his home in the Hamptons, on New York's Long Island. "I like to say Warren Buffett made a lot of people millionaires, but I've made more people trillionaires," Mr. Templeton says. The dealer paid between $1 and $2 for each of the bills in several purchases over about a year, and now sells them for around $5-$6 apiece.

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) and Stanford economist John B. Taylor are among the new owners of Zimbabwean bills. Each keeps one in his wallet, brandishing it at opportune moments as evidence of inflation's most extreme possible ramifications. "No self-respecting monetary economist goes around without a 100-trillion-dollar note," Mr. Taylor says with a chuckle.
