The lawsuit wasn't about the money. The goal was to officially label the PLO and their entire membership-- especially current PA officials --as terrorists in order to lay the groundwork for future legal action against them.
Now that a federal judge has determined that they are terrorists, it should be harder for the State Department to act as though the PA and the PLO are separate.

I wouldn't laugh too quickly at this. Banking is international, and money moves wirelessly through a lot of different hubs. Many of these hubs exist on U.S. soil. A large judgment lien like this could really jam up a lot of money headed to the Palestinians, especially if a person knew where to electronically dig.

Arafat's family accounts are probably still full of the many millions he stole as PLO leader.

That makes some sense. I was trying to figure out how on earth the plaintiffs would be able to collect.
