A Texas jury just slapped a $399 million judgment on two Dallas businessmen for fraud and breach of contract — a staggering sum that includes $300 million in punitive damages. The case centers on Energy Commissioning Inc., a Georgetown-based firm that loaned the duo $68 million to buy land for a housing project — which later ballooned into a $5 billion “city” dream with canals and skyscrapers.
