Putting finger on real crime

A woman was arrested for carrying out a hoax and suing Wendy's for a severed finger being in her bowl of chili. This cost Wendy's 3.23 million dollars in lost business due to the number of customers that stayed away. I feel, with this drop in demand, Wendy's should now be able to sue her for the money they lost or at least a portion of it. How do you feel about this?
