Well, here's a twist: American Airlines filed--and won by default--a #ScheduleA case against defendants who allegedly "carried out a scheme to defraud jobseekers in which they sent out emails holding themselves out as Recruitment Directors for American," using AA marks and "unauthorized copies of American's copyrighted images."
Am. Airlines v. Schedule A, 2024 WL 945262, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 16, 2024).
AA sought statutory damages of $6M per defendant (the maximum amount); the judge awarded $3M/defendant.
AA also asked for anything left in the frozen accounts as equitable damages and the judge refused, noting that "defrauded jobseekers might also have potential claims to those funds."
