It is hard to accurately calculate the total amount Acerthorn thinks he’s owed in damages, other than to quote his own words in a complaint, “you might want to sit down for this”.
Part of the problem is his habit of launching multiple suits with overlapping claims, and suits claiming as damages the amount he surely would have won had someone not prevented him from filing one of his “technically perfect” appeals. He also files duplicative suits against defendants for the amount he surely would have won had they not raised some absurd procedural objection in another case. With interest for every day it was delayed until the inevitable (but somehow always denied) ruling overriding the delay.
Another issue is cases filed in one venue, dismissed, and re-filed elsewhere. Then you have duplicative claims, sums which don’t diminish when most of the claims are struck down by an appeals court, and so on.
And then, of course, there’s the “shadow docket” – cases that do not appear, or where the claim cannot be viewed, because he has been restricted a vexatious litigant in three federal districts, the state of Arkansas, and the 8th Circuit. Obviously the amount claimed isn’t visible for those.
You could be forgiven for thinking that Acerthorn’s claims for damages are plucked out of his ass, but they are totes carefully calculated.
