Knickerbockers lose major damages in bank interference case
Des Moines judge reduces the jury verdict against the bank in the Knickerbocker landlords suit. The judge voids 400000 per brother for loss of credit reputation and 50000 for emotional distress per brother and defeats 620000 per brother for lease acceleration plus 375000 and 400000 for lost profits. The ruling keeps no malice finding and questions the payout scheme while noting a May state court settlement of 506858 with the pneumatic grain handling firms.
