My understanding is that they will total up the claims by all customers in each category. Some people will have bought $50k worth and others will have bought $1k things. They will then divide the total amount purchased into $135m to calculate how much of a refund is owed per dollar spent. Each customer will get that amount time times the amount they spent. I’ve no idea where the average is or even for sure if that’s the formula but the TOTAL amount to be paid to all consumer claims is $135m.
Who gets the leftover money? My guess would be the lawyers but possibly DeBeers. That’s who seems to be spending time and money to advertise and promote this and promote it to as many claimants as possible and I’m reminded of that old rule with questions like this.--- Follow the money.
