    Update on the Hogan [LOST] Thread

    The Hogan vs Gawker Lawsuit thread was unfortunately lost in the great Data Purge of 2016 (Never forget)

    Update- March: Gawker ordered to pay 140 million dollarooos
    June: Gawker goes into Chapter 11. All Assets to be auctioned off in July.
    Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

      It's just a stalling tactic to avoid paying the money.

          I predict Ziff Davis will take everything over.

            I predict no one buys Gawker itself as it is garbage but some of the other properties are worth a small bit. Over all they are old web magazines though and not worth a lot.

              I would buy the domain gawker.com and content, if I had enough money. Gawker is top 1000 in the world in traffic and top 300 in the US. It's worth millions. (Looking at traffic, probably $150k/mo ad revenue.)

                The word "Hogan" makes me crave Hoagies.
                No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                  Fair value would be ~$40 million.

                    Hogans lawsuit was financially supported by Peter Thiel ... the Paypal founder, who also is a (former) german and supports Trump in his election campaign.
                    The USA should be very very worried

                      So he's a shadowy billionaire using his resources to take on a corrupt organization? Are we sure he's not Bruce Wayne?

                        It'd be funny if Peter Thiel buys them.

                          I didn't know this Thiel guy - but wiki sez he's also one of the so-called "Bilderbergers" who are supposedly in control of everything

                            Would Bruce Wayne suppoprt the election campaign of Donald Trump?

                              Well if he hacked Clinton's server and saw what was on the emails she deleted, maybe he would support Trump over her.
