Yeah but Hulk Hogan (who is admittedly rich but maybe not fuck-you rich) was the plaintiff. Not Thiel. And you are only proving my point. In most cases, individuals are the ones forced to settle with corporations because they don't have the resources to fight corps. The same would have happened with Hulk Hogan if he had not been bankrolled by Thiel. So, if anything, it was Thiel's actions that tipped the balance in the direction of the individual, who, mind you, was entirely in the right in this particular case.
