Yippee!!!!

I assume it will be appealed and likely overturned at the next level, but it's worth celebrating whenever a federal trial judge gives some giant corporate black hole a major reality check.

I've followed this case, and I don't think this is much of a triumph. Most of teh people who will get more money are comfortably white collar. The main point of this case is to terrify any corporation that still wants to do a defined benefit (as opposed to defined contribution) plan.

Remember, there's a cost to over-deterring wrong-doing in pension plans--namely, driving legal costs so high that there are no pension plans at all!
