So how to you know that Bruce didn't have good intentions, but failed? I don't know Bruce any better than you, but if I had to judge from the what I have seen on his shows and read on this forum and so on, I would guess that Bruce just overestimated himself, and failed.
I think the fact that the judgement remains unpaid says much about Bruce's intentions.
Did it contain compensation for the victims? Otherwise it is the same as an unpaid speeding ticket from some different state year ago - no need to pay.
