~10-15B$ is not inbetween the 2 numbers you posited it would be between though.

What they said was:

> in the neighborhood of the difference between the fair current market value (~20B$?) and the purchase price (~44B$).

The difference is 24B$ which is implied to be the upper bound. 10-15 is in the range 0..24.

Eh, math when written out instead of expressed numerically is sometimes hard. Props for admitting the brain fart though, as the sister comments show being wrong on the internet isn't always easy.
