A very good question.
If, somehow, this actually becomes a real lawsuit, and somehow actually results in a real judgement, and somehow the regime actually pays the judgement rather than just ignoring it ... watch this money just end up in the state's budget, with none of it going to the people who were actually illegally overcharged for everything. (And then the state spends most of it on buying fancy new guns and surveillance tech for the state police. Chrome-plated missile launchers for the state troopers!)
