Not so much wrongdoing as bad faith. If Google offered Sun a good financial deal (they might have: certainly they had a lot of cash) but Sun walked away anyway (because they wanted to preserve control of the platform, say), then that puts a pretty firm cap on the damages Oracle can be awarded. If Sun represented to Google internally that a deal was likely, and then yanked the rug out at the last minute, then that's straight up bad faith.
