To add insult to injury<\/a>: Jurors who recently awarded a $115 million dollar verdict in favor of Hulk Hogan have declared an additional $25 million dollars owed to the Hulkster in punitive damages, bringing the total of money owed to Hogan for posting his sex tape to a whopping $140 million dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n I ran out of words to express how delighted I was to have seen Hulk Hogan take down Gawker in court three days ago. Yet it\u2019s becoming the gift that keeps on giving, as Gawker is deservedly kicked while already down, for another $25 million dollars thanks to their reckless \u201cjournalism\u201d and arrogant believe they were invincible behind First Amendment rights.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOwned<\/strong>\u201d simply isn\u2019t a sufficient term to describe just how dominating of a comeuppance beatdown Gawker was just given by Hulkamania. I want to force phrases like \u201cHulk hOwgan\u2019d<\/em>\u201d or some shit, but know there\u2019s no chance in hell it would stick. Unless another marquee lawsuit springs up featuring a fairly prominent figure versus a smarmy hack journalism outlet where the plaintiff succeeds, and people start using Hulk Hogan-ing as a verb to describe defeating crooked journalists, that is.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But it goes without saying I\u2019m enjoying the aftermath of what I figured was going to be a fairly minimal punitive hearing.<\/span><\/p>\n The $115 million awarded to Hogan “exceeds the value of the entire company by $30 million,”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n And that doesn\u2019t even include the additional $25 million in punitive damages. Better yet however, was the breakdown of the $25 million that\u2019s owed to Hogan:<\/span><\/p>\n The six jurors said that Gawker was liable for $15 million in punitive damages and Denton was liable for $10 million. Daulerio was found liable for an additional $100,000.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n That alone doesn\u2019t read as that substantial, but it\u2019s nice to see some accountability being slapped onto Nick Denton, the founder of Gawker for employing such hack jobs to write such reckless and volatile garbage. But really, the best part about that snippet to me, is the $100,000 charged to former Editor-in-Chief, A.J. Daulerio. At first blush, it looks like he\u2019s getting away with merely a slap on the wrist, but then there\u2019s this laughable mention:<\/span><\/p>\n Daulerio has no assets, but owes $27,000 in student loans.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n So in other words, in spite of the snark, the arrogance, and the fa\u00e7ade of being someone influential and important, behind the screen, he\u2019s basically a loser who\u2019s in the same boat as the vast majority of the readership he imagined himself socially superior to. The next time Daulerio\u2019s finances are brought up, hopefully it\u2019ll read that not only does he owe $27,000 in student loans, but additionally owes $100,000 to Hulk Hogan.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s be real here though, Gawker doesn\u2019t have $140 million, and Daulerio doesn\u2019t even have five bucks to his name anymore, so the likelihood of Hogan actually receiving close to this amount seems like a pipe dream. I\u2019m sure he needs the money on account of his ex-wife trying to usurp everything she can from him, not to mention his son Nick is probably in Mexican prison or something for trying to reenact Fast & Furious<\/em> drug running or something, but if I\u2019m a betting man, I bet Gawker strategically declares bankruptcy or something to absolve much of their debt, and Hogan will ultimately get short-changed what he\u2019s owed. Daulerio, too, probably.<\/span><\/p>\n Doesn\u2019t matter, though. Honestly to me, it\u2019s not so much about the actual money as much as it is about the message sent; sure, this is going to reshape the ideals and opinions of what First Amendment rights are and aren\u2019t, but I just like to say that you don\u2019t fuck with Hulkamania<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To add insult to injury: Jurors who recently awarded a $115 million dollar verdict in favor of Hulk Hogan have declared an additional $25 million dollars owed to the Hulkster in punitive damages, bringing the total of money owed to Hogan for posting his sex tape to a whopping $140 million dollars.
