Let’s do the math. Nine arrested, “almost $20,000” damages (alleged / estimated) = approximately $2200 per set of parents. For some parents that could be a true burden; for others, it might not even be noticeable.
And somehow saying that "their parents are willing to pay" just reinforced so many bad stereotypes of Greeks.
