This story has been circulating the various press outlets for a few months now. It certainly is a screwy case. In another article I read Jin Chung lost the pants, found them, offered to give them back, but the judge refused the offer. Preferring to sue instead, I assume.
Regardless of whether or not the pants were actually offered back, the case is absurd and I'm sure everyone involved (except the judge in question) knows it. I'm confident it will all be sorted out eventually, unfortunately at a high legal defense cost for the Chung family. The complexity of the court system results in a screwball story once every few months - remember the substitute teaching looking at +20 years in jail over a porn pop-up incident? That resolution too a while, but it got there.
Either way, if I was going to sue for 65 million dollars for a pair of paints I'd skip the rental car and go straight for the rental jet :P
Cheers,
Munk
