I doubt New Mexico will ever see the money.

What are they going to do to actually punish Facebook for not paying?

Large corporations are somewhat immune from actual consequence these days.

Meta is building/operating the $3.3Billion Los Lunas Data Center in New Mexico.

That can change the situation on collection when the state has control where your billion dollar asset resides.
