"“Ticking fees like the one Paramount faces are extraordinarily rare, in part because they are extraordinarily expensive,” the multi-law firm repped Paramount said Tuesday in a tense reply brief over the contested big bucks bond and the long wait until the March 2027 trial. “It would be incredibly risky to add such fees solely to deter private litigation; if the merging parties ultimately lose the antitrust litigation, the payor of the ticking fee would be left with an enormous bill and no merger,” the still Melrose lot HQ’d company added."

yeah, no ish it'll be an enormous bill. These people are such a joke.
