“We conclude that an award of $140 million in punitive damages was ‘ascertainable’ from the entry of the first judgment in 2017,” the court said. “Neither the district court nor this court has ever held that $140 million is too high. Punitive damages have gone from $700 million to $280 million to $140 million, but that final figure has been ascertainable since 2017.”
