Gawker has to give up, before future punitive damages, $115 million. Nick Denton has said that losing this case would basically bankrupt the company. If somehow the company managed to survive, the remaining websites and editorial staff would have to be skeletal.
>>331316457
Gawker has to pay $115million + a yet-to-be-decided amount on punitive damages. Gawker can try to appeal but florida law says they have to pay (i think it was) 50mil of that. They're hosed

From 4:20 onward is Hogan's lawyer destroying the Gawker editor, leading him on with choice questions, running laps around him, and using his own fumbled words against him.
It's all solid gold, man. It's insane how much BASED and JUST there is.
So the entire staff of Gawker and its under-companies will be executed right?

Yes, it caos out at 50 million but if they win the appeal they get that money back.
They will probably lay off staff, liquidate what assets they can and go for the appeal.
They aren't dead until they lose the appeal and are forced to pay the full amount.
>>331316516
The lawyer has maneuvered Gawker's editor into a position where he either has to
A) Admit that he would publish CP if it would get him more clicks
B) Admit that he's giving false statements

Go look at all the replies from this tweet, to be universally hated like this must feel strange. I almost feel bad for him. ALMOST.
They aren't going anywhere.
Denton sold some shares of the company to a Russian billionaire for $400m, for the explicit purpose of building a war chest for the hogan trial.
So what did gawker do? They were the ones that had the sextape or is this a defamation type of lawsuit?

Also consider that Polygon, Anita, Wu and other SJWs are still there
Wouldn't be surprised if Patricia or Kepkek are now writers at Polygon.
>>331317451
Court ordered them to take down Hulk Hogan's sextape and they said no. Then during the trial Gawker guy said he would not take down any sextape unless it had a child under the age of 4.
on one hand, the 115m is just for hulk, and they're also considering adding punitive damages
on the other, florida's bond requirement for appeal is capped at 50m, which is still a lot, but not enough to completely sink gawker until after appeal (which a. gives them time to find a way out b. could knock down the total to a lot less)
>>331316315

They published a sex tape depicting Hulk Hogan having sex with a woman. That tape was filmed by the woman's husband without Hogan's permission.
Hogan sued and a judge ordered Gawker to take down the video. They refused, going to court.
>>331317451
They released a sex tape of Hulk, which he had no idea he was even being filmed in, let alone consented to.
A thread last night also stated that Gawker released the deal about Hulk calling someone a nigger in the past, which effectively destroyed his public image, all because Hulk made it clear he was going to sue them over the sex tape.
>>331316662

>>331317425
Considering they actually have to pay the fine before they can appeal, they need that capital from somewhere. You know where they are going to get it? Liquidating assets. Firing people.
This is about to shrink Gawker significantly. Even then, the rump Gawker might lose the appeal.
Either way, Gawker as we know it is gone.
>>331317695
Hogan didn't consent to the recording of the tape, the leaking of it to Gawker, the posting of it to Gawker, and Gawker outright ignored a court order to remove the video.
>>331317595
IIRC, Gawker's only worth 200 million so this is going to be a huge blow to them either way.

>they're also looking to get punitive damages, upwards of 450m
>gawker is only worth 300m and has to sell shit off just to make enough to pay
The funny thing is that Hulk could have hired the cheapest, shittiest lawyer possible and still won thanks to Gawker's incompetence but he can now bump his rates up significantly and everyone will call him for lawsuits first
>>331317843
I'm not seeing the $400m figure anywhere. To be fair you're right. Thanks to their russian protector they aren't going anywhere

You realize their parent company was trying to spin them out for years, once Youtube slightly caught up in the video quality department?
>>331317695
Hulk was divorced at the time and the woman he fucked was in an open marriage. Allegedly her husband would let her wife sleep around so long as he got to record it, some kind of voyeur fetish that's been pretty popular in the past years.
Hulk wasn't totally aware of that fact and the tape was shared with other people, one of which decided to leak it to Gawker. Gawker made no attempts to reach either party about the video and instead posted it for clickbait. Hulk's WWE legacy was destroyed because of some shitty remarks he made about guys his daughter was dating (OH NO OLD WHITE MAN IS LEERY ABOUT THE PEOPLE HIS DAUGHTER SPENDS TIME WITH) and Gawker rode it out for ad revenue.
Hilariously enough, they'll probably face at least half as much just in punitive charges for ignoring the court order.

>>331318565
I think he means the whole "legend" deal which, yeah, basically amounts to just doing cameos at WM every now and again
but either way this didn't end his career. It was a huge PR nightmare but Hogan's not Chris Benoit, they can't pretend he doesn't exist. Give it like two years and he'll be back.

I think the issue here is assuming Hogan wants to be back.
I'm sure he loves wrasslin but he's an old man. The only reason he's been wrasslin semi-recently is because he was financially ruined due to his wife's divorce.
Now he has enough money to live the rest for his life without having to do it again. Again, I doubt he doesn't like it, but it's backbreaking work. Wrestling is very impactful on your health.
As for Hogan being whitewashed out of the WWE, it doesn't matter if they'll let him come back. Without Hulk Hogan, the WWE wouldn't be what it is today. Everyone will remember Hulk Hogan wether he's officially in the records or not. Hulk Hogan IS the WWE.
I'm glad everything worked out for him. Again, sucks for his records being erased, but it's the WWE and he's Hogan. It doesn't matter who acknowledges it, it is a thing.

>>331319635
He wasn't even openly racist, either. As far as I can tell, for all the shitty politicking Hogan's done in his years of wrestling, it was always based on people being a perceived threat to his drawing power, not their ethnicity.
>>331319129

Much better to pay than up to $115 million.
They'll pay, and they won't have to pay a fucking dime to the racist wrestler. Can't wait for you all to shriek about it later.

their defense was based on "journalistic integrity" which really doesn't jibe well with joking about toddler fucking

I love how people gravedigged the 2013 one where they proudly announced that they weren't taking down the sex tape in defiance of the court order.

Mate they have to pay the already set fee of $115m and THEN another $50m upfront.
This would maybe work if they were bigger, but they're not.

>I think the issue here is assuming Hogan wants to be back.
Of course he does. Dude has a massive ego. Just for one specific example look up the ending of WM9.
And he wouldn't actually be wrestling barring some shit happening. Look at WM30 all he did (as I recall) was just cut a promo with Stone Cold and The Rock.
This legends deal mostly consists of making cameos on TV occasionally, getting DVDs of your legacy, showing up on WWE Network, merchandise, that kinda deal.
And besides they can't stop people from bringing up hogan. I remember back in January I think The Rock came out and cut a promo and part of it had him talking to some fans at ringside dressed like macho man, hulk, etc.

Hulk isn't even racist. Those are bullshit lies spread overblown by gawker and all the other clickbait journalists.

their yearly revenue is about 4mil not 50 million. They do not even exist long enough to have 50 or 115mil spare cash just lying around.
>all these faggots saying THEY'LL APPEAL, THEY GOT A RUSSIAN BAILOUT, NOTHING IT MEANS NOTHING
why can't you let us have this. I mean even ignoring the facts, which suggest this will at least seriously hurt gawker, why can't you just be happy?
>>331320061
Brutal
>>331318476
Let's be honest, it's not like anything of value will be lost. Gawker is ran by absolute pieces of shit and Kotaku is a tabloid at best.

Gawker LITERALLY MADE it up to fuck with the public image of him. It was covered in the court.

>>331317843
Here's the thing though- even if Gawker loses the appeal and Vekselberg fronts the 115 million and then some, guess what: Vekselberg just lost over 115 million dollars, probably even over 200 million when you factor in legal fees. Gawker is going to have to make all that back, and this trial alone has been so much of a PR disaster that it'll be damn hard for them to do that. In between this and the conde nast outing, Gawker's brand is toxic. Who the fuck is going to want to advertise there anymore? Who the fuck is going to want to do business with them?

I can't even imagine them doing well in appeals. The guy was a huge scumbag during the trial and specifically ignored a judge's orders because he just figured he was in the right.

Because they're desperate, they already lost $115 and are set to lose even more in punitive damages, they're also set to lose any appeals.
It's over.

...and now I wish gawker won.. *sighs*
Not gonna lie, I am enjoying this.
>>331318250
That was a terrible tl;dr
Hulk was awarded 55 million for economical collateral damage and 60 million for emotional distress.
Due to Florida law, Gawker most present a bond of 55 million to match the collateral damages accrued to appeal the case, of which it's a 50:50 to which side the court of appeals has sided with.
The jury can also award up to 4 times the total collateral damages awarded, so 220 million in punitive damages, but Florida has a history of awarding money at a ratio of 1:0.7, meaning you can expect around 80 million in punitive damages to be awarded.
