"verbal" promise and totaling only around $5 million -- in case you were wondering how large the wrongdoing here was.
Neither the article, nor the court document supports that. They both state that it exceeds $5 million. This affects the jurisdiction:
> This Court has jurisdiction over this proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(2). Plaintiff and Defendants are citizens of different states, and the matter in controversy for the class exceeds $5 million.
> In a statement shared with Business Insider, the plaintiff's attorney, Shannon Liss-Riordan, said the bonuses owed amounted to "tens of millions of dollars."
