That is one group of people I wouldn’t mind perpetually living in a tent, eating ramen noodles and soup kitchen handouts, and never having enough money to put together something like The Daily Stormer ever again.

If Anglin does end up getting the website, might she also get all the website’s data? Hopefully someone has already written a letter to whoever hosts the site telling them not to delete anything pending judgment.

Andrew Anglin is the defendant. He’s not getting anything.
Tanya Gersh is the plaintiff. Other plaintiffs have won millions against Anglin, and most likely, those claims will not be paid in full.

That’s funny because I once accidentally went to the Daily Stormer site chasing down a recipe for some apple chicken dish I had at a restaurant.
They didn’t have it either.

“…ordered to pay…”
Blood from a dry stone?
Would Anglin ever be worth enough to bother chasing him?
Does he face jail time for non-payment?
Can he assume martyrdom and thus be a hero?
This story is just beginning.
wasn’t the twitter hastag “#daily stormer” appropriated by some severe weather aficionado and his fans? Can’t quite recall the details,

My mistake on the typo.
The fact that they won’t get paid is why people think she may get the website, as the court may force the transfer of assets (cf. the rights to OJ Simpson’s “If I Did It”).

Call me when somebody actually pays something to anyone over this.

It’s not his first big award loss in court.
Anglin now faces possible default judgments in four federal cases, including separate lawsuits filed by two other targets of his site’s online harassment campaigns.
Whitefish, what the hell?

From another Anglin case
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6138756/obeidallah-v-anglin/
Complaint filed: Aug 16, 2017
Entry of Default: July 3, 2018
Injunctive Relief granted: July 13, 2019
It’s a slow process.
The docket for this case is here
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4846038/gersh-v-anglin/
From the final order in the Gersh case:
Based on the evidence and testimony presented at the evidentiary hearing on July 11, 2019, the Court finds that Gersh is entitled to compensatory damages as follows:
- (1) Economic damages in the amount of $220,680 for past lost earnings, medical expenses, and other expenses;
- (2) Economic damages in the amount of $821,758 for future lost earning capacity;
- (3) Non-economic damages in the amount of $1,000,000 for past pain and suffering, and;
- (4) Non-economic damages in the amount of $2,000,000 for future pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
In addition to compensatory damages, Gersh seeks an award of punitive damages. In a diversity action like this one, the propriety of an award of punitive damages is a question of state law.
…
Under Montana law, “[a]n award for punitive damages may not exceed $10 million or 3% of a defendant’s net worth, whichever is less.” Mont. Code Ann. § 27-1-220(3). The Montana Supreme Court has held that the limitation on punitive damage awards in excess of 3% of a defendant’s net worth applies “only if the defendant first meets his burden of demonstrating an accurate calculation of his net worth.” Blue Ridge Homes, Inc. v. Thein, 191 P.3d 374, 387 (Mont. 2008). Because Anglin has not met that burden here, the 3% limitation does not apply.
Having considered the factors set forth in Mont. Code Ann. § 27-1- 221(7)(b), including the particularly egregious and reprehensible nature of Anglin’s conduct, the Court finds that a punitive damages award in the amount of $10,000,000 is warranted to punish Anglin and deter him from engaging in such conduct in the future.1

The word has lost all meaning. One day they will have to be put down again.
Jason, really?
The founders of German National Socialist fan-site “The Daily Stormer” …
You aren’t really under the impression the Daily Stormer was a German site.
It would be illegal there.
Is that a joke I don’t get?
Edit: I get it now. They are a fan-site of German national socialism.
“German National Socialist” fan site, not German “National Socialist” fan site.
