Statute has been recently revised from the 2015 version posted earlier in thread. The current language is:
535.300.6. If the landlord wrongfully withholds all or any portion of the security deposit in violation of this section, the tenant shall recover as damages twice the amount wrongfully withheld.
So straightforward 2x.
