You obviously haven't read or understood the word "hypothetically".
In the real world, Ty couldn't make out the number, but we know for a fact that there was damage.
I wrote about a hypothetical rather than a real situation where Vic did not suffer material damage in this particular case. Because Chris Slatosh took over all the material damage, renewing the broken contract again, etc. And without asking Vic for compensation for certain expenses.
That is, I proposed to consider not the real situation, but the situation in which there is no damage in dollars for Vic. In this situation, it turns out that it is normal to demand the termination of the contract, threatening to do something and then to carry out threats - if there is no contract termination and no material damage.
According to Chupp it does not fit under either of the two versions of TI (because, of course, looking at this example, others will not be afraid).
For me, it's about the same as saying that it's okay to threaten to kill or rape a person until you kill or rape them. I'm not saying that the punishment for both should be the same. But that's what I think the second version of TI is about. It's about the fact that after all this blackmail, even if the contract with Vic was fulfilled out of decency, he might not be offered a new one in the future.
Judge Chupp high standards of evidence are so high that in the real world TI with prospective contracts is almost impossible to prove.
