A Jefferson Circuit Court jury determined Tom Eifler Jr. and his father, Thomas O. Eifler Sr., had defrauded Ardie Greenamyer and breached a back-of-an envelope deal that guaranteed Greenamyer half of the assets for their business, Eifler Tower Crane and Hoist Co., according to The Louisville Courier-Journal. The jury awarded Greenamyer $13.4 million, including $7 million in punitive damages, after a seven-day trial.
