     There is no suggestion that the defendant has necessarily acted wrongfully, nor that he should be compensated for the total amount of his loss. Rather we are looking at a judicial solution to problems where loss must be distributed, and no disgorgeable benefit is being conferred.

     The mere fact the third party is allowed to prove that point, and so reduce or eliminate the disgorgeable profit, is generous enough.
