- CalChris 9y agoHe didn't win $750,000 in the Gawker case. The bankruptcy estate of Gawker paid $750,000 in settlement. There was no court decision. That would be like emptying $100 from the wallet of a dead body and saying you earned $100. Techdirt wasn't bankrupt and could afford to fight the case. Not to put too fine a point on it, this was before a judge in Massachusetts rather than before a jury in Florida as Bollea v. Gawker had been.
- jacquesm 9y ago> The bankruptcy estate of Gawker paid $750,000 in settlement. That's so wrong.
