SCOTUS has an effective national cap on punitive damages (damages beyond the amount needed to compensate plaintiff, intended as punishment for defendant) of 10x the compensatory damages. In this case, that would be 100 million. The jury decided to award 5 million. Virginia apparently has a hard cap of 350k.
