Gawker is currently cryiung someone paid for hogan to do it.

I bet they'll do a patreon after going bankrupt

dailymotion.com/video/x6n369_wwf-tuesday-in-texas-1991-hulk-hoga_sport

Can someone show gawker logo on Taker's face when he gets hit with the belt right after the match and flips out the ring?

Someone paid hogan to make a sex tape and somehow provoke gawker into being the shit company that they are and behave as they did?

Have they actually payed up yet? It seems like they're still around.

Wasn't there a story about some Russian mobster buying Gawker after the suit, or was that bullshit?

Sounds pretty likely

...

No. Nyt reports PayPal cofounder foot the legal bill

hello
is this video games

No, they're still trying to appeal the case. Could take one or several years for the appeal process to complete. Once that shit gets shot down, they're done for.

yes

So?
Everything that still happened - happened due to their stupidity, so even if someone pays hogan to finish them, its still valid.

Hell if Hogan needed it, and I had money, I'd gladly donate some to him for a job well done.

Yes, just about as much vidya as Shitaku itself.

...

>tfw patrick klepek gets assblasted by the hulk
what a time to be alive

Kotaku is an asset. It will be sold if they can't get the settlement reduced.

Petition to double the charges, they are being disrespectful of the court's decision. It is an insult to let this slide.

Well, if Gawker hadn't destroyed a good chunk of his personal life and the lives of his friends for quite awhile by doing a hit piece and exposing him as homosexual to the planet, then I doubt he would've footed the bill.

But then, that would have meant that Gawker had morals.

They are only butthurt because they couldn't pay off Hogan's lawyer because he had already been paid off to not accept their money. Also, it's their own goddamn fault, the guy who is paying Hogan's legal fees is a billionaire Gawker tried to fuck over a few years ago for no good reason other than that his ideology "did not fit in the progressive space that is Silicon Valley". They 100% had it coming. In fact, on top of not accepting Gawker's money to settle out of court, they have gone out of their way to make sure Gawker's insurance company will not foot any of the bill for the court costs by adding and in one case even removing certain caveats from the list of charges. This is a revenge thing and they are making sure everyone knows it.

so what, If I had that much money I'd probably financially support that as well, just take a look at this fucking idiot

>kotaku literally had an article on overwatch porn like finding r34 stuff is a surprising thing

Can't die quickly enough.

Didn't they just get shot down for their appeal?

Yup, judge threw it out. They're fucked

wfla.com/2016/05/25/hulk-hogan-gawker-back-in-st-pete-courtroom/

Not only that, but they apparantly linked to a group for clean, non-porn SFM models, ruining their reputation.
So they couldn't even do that right.

Gawker will just declare bankruptcy so they don't have to pay anything.

That's... not how bankruptcy works.

>gawker uses a holocaust defense

HAHAHAHA

Yes...it is.

When you file for bankruptcy your assets get liquidated in order to satisfy your creditors. They would have to sell everything they own down to the office chairs and Hogan would have first dibs on any money made. So he may not get the full amount but he'd get paid and they'd be in the shithouse.

Why the fuck are they crying that some literal faggot billionaire is funding the lawsuit when gawker's defence is being funded by another billionaire?

Gawker aren't stupid, they've had a backup plan in the works for years.
Declaring bankruptcy is what they're obviously going to do and Hogan will be lucky if he gets 10 million dollars, if that.

i love how it was the guy they outed as gay that funded hogan's lawsuit. it's double the revenge. gawker's evil deeds have finally caught up with them.

>Well, if Gawker hadn't destroyed a good chunk of his personal life and the lives of his friends for quite awhile by doing a hit piece and exposing him as homosexual to the planet, then I doubt he would've footed the bill.

The crazy thing is that the press is now defending his outing, and Gawker, by saying shit like "How could his homosexuality be a problem in Silicon Valley?" I know people who are out to everyone but their families because said families will go apeshit if they find out. Gawker has no moral compass, as evidenced by the deposition when one of their writers said posting CP would be A-OK.

They have lowered the bar for what we consider journalism. If having them lose means journalistic freedoms are lost, then maybe that's worth it.

They're just lucky Conde Naste never went after them as well.

Gawker will probably attempt to tie it up in Appealate court.

That's one a lot of fuck faces do, basically attempt a war of attrition.

And I think unless it's seen to by a Supreme Court Judge, they can keep on appealing too, motioning for a new judge etc.

>arrogant sjws have a backup plan

kek

Please tell me what you think it is.

TIME FOR SOME REALITY

>Gawker essentially goes broke, sells off all it's assetts and lays off staff
>Some other company, maybe vox, maybe some otehr faggots we haven't heard of buy kotaku
>All kotaku's shitty writers get employed at other sites
>The cancer spreads

You can't beat this. At least gawker was a containment site for this bullshit. Now all those clowns will infect the rest of the industry.

This isn't the appeal, this was the judge saying "we're not lowering the payout".

The appeal is something different.

We did it bros, Gamergate has finally won

Ah, the US justice system...

And what is this brilliant plan that allows them to bypass bankruptcy laws?

Wouldn't you if you realized you had a court case that there was no possible way you could win?

>yfw the Hulkster dropped the big leg on Gawker media

They're making up stories about new PS4s and Xbones to try and grub their hands on a few extra dollars.

I'm guessing you're a teenager and don't understand how bankruptcy actually works.
Trust me, they'll be fine.

So if Gawker doesn't pony up the $50 million bond for appeal they're done?

>mfw that one normal friend in my group chat ask "hey guys what is this" with with a link to that article

i dont think you understand bankrupcy laws

they probably have a plan, but id like to hear why you think they can avoid paying out

what if Sup Forums crowdfunded enough money to buy kotaku themselves?

>elbow drop
>not a leg drop

ONE FUCKING JOB YOU JABRONI

I'm interested to find out what it is if there is one, but I sincerely doubt they ever had one. It just looks like they're buying time before the inevitable.

Explain to me as if I was a child then.

Their writers are probably shunned everywhere but the other scummy websites. These guys are marked for life.
Fucking Patrick Klepek basically had to beg on his knees to work at kotaku. That guy is out of a journalistic job.

>Implying that the other sites aren't as bad as Gawker to begin with

More like one big media tumor dies, but a few tumors still remain as always.

If you're on Sup Forums, you know how to use Google.
Don't expect people to baby you with information.

That's not the appeal, that's the judge saying there won't be another trial

They wanted to do a retrial because in order to appeal they have to pay a 50 million dollar bond first, which would completely wreck them

But now they can't

It would be just as corrupt if not more.

So you don't know.

I accept your apology.

Whats this about?
Cant find anything.

It would turn Kotaku into Gawker.
Talking about gays all day long with no video games in sight.

Did I say I didn't know?
You're being lazy right now.
The search bar is right there. If you want to find something out, use it.
How do you think I learned about it?

i know what it is, in my country you liquidate your assets and then attempt to pay back debtors then pay back shareholders in the case of a company.

It might be different in the US, but how would that stop hulk from getting a pay out? they would have the dough

I already did, and my findings disagree with you. So now what?

So in other words, you don't know

If you make a claim, it is your job to prove to us what your claim is. The burden is on you to provide the details. If you can't be fucked to do that, then shut the hell up.

Burden of proof is on you if you want to support your own point. Otherwise, there is no discussion and you (in your anonymous glory) are proven wrong.

It's not as if you have anything to lose by just walking away from all this, you know.

Thanks for missing the entire point of the conversation.

>make claim
>no evidence to back claim up
>hurr no you should just google it, i don't have to prove anything
>inb4 "you're too dumb anyway to understand it if i explained it to you so i won't bother"

Fuck off, you were obviously THAT kid in kindergarten.

>Gawker aren't stupid
have you seen the video? If you've seen it, you will know the one. You know. The one where he told a judge in an active trial that hosting a sex tape of a celebrity even if it were a child was newsworthy and something they would be willing to do? And when the judge tried to pin him on an age he actually fucking said something like "I don't know, maybe around 7+?"
THAT guy has a backup plan? That's one of their top executives, friend.

Got my old lady tagged up in a 11 thousand dollar Social Security scandal because of that bullshit

Her mother tried to tie some shit up in appellate court, and the SS came after us instead.


That's the biggest source of corruption in america, the exploitation of the judicial system and the check and balances via loop holes.


Oh don't forget people getting out of multiple homicide cases on technicalities or full fucking retardation

>My son never learned the difference between right and wrong
>He shouldn't be held to multiple counts of vehicular manslaughter. WHILE INTOXICATED
>He dindu nuffin

If you don't know just say so, man

>justpretending.jpg

>implying it won't be appealed

Hulkamania's running mild if i'm being honest.

4+ year old actually

They have to post a 50 million bond to appeal, which would already fuck them over.

But the appeal was denied.

>Fucking Patrick Klepek basically had to beg on his knees to work at kotaku.
WHY DID HE DO THAT
WHO IS THIS STUPID

Because of Florida law they still have to pay like half of the owed money if they appeal or some shit like that.

You're quite exceptionally pathetic

No the new trial was denied. They can appeal the amount and ask for a reduction in damages.

>Declaring bankruptcy

Bankruptcy doesn't shed you out of lawsuit related penalties

This, their TOTAL assets are currently like what, 250M or something close to that? A company worth 250M does NOT have 50M in liquid asset lying around, just to pay that they will have to sell off websites, fire people, liquidate resources...they are fucked no matter what at this point, even if their appeal succeeds 50M is a crippling blow as well.

Elon Musk? Why tho

Not quite right, their "value" is 250 million which includes what the brand name is "worth" if they sell it. Actual asset wise they have less than 100 million all told.

Nah some other guy who Gawker blackmailed and when he didn't give into it they outed him as homosexual

Russian billionaire is funding them now after buying 50m worth of the company.

>This, their TOTAL assets are currently like what, 250M or something close to that?

Hahaha, they fucking wish.

Gawkers own lawyers used the value of Gawker during the case. Gawker Media et al is worth $83

>who is this stupid

Only nu-male libtard faggot failures are that stupid.

>adding brand to their asset value
kek, that sounds exactly like something an SJW would do so I totally believe you. That just further proves that no matter what happens at this point they cannot recover, even if the appeal is somehow a success they are absolutely fucked.

$83? We should buy them. If everyone in this thread throws in 2 dollars, we're done.

You're that kid that told bullshit vidya stories at school and when called out on it, said "Yeah huh, I know for a fact cause my uncle works at Nintendo."

That's a vast overestimation. In 2014 they reported making like 14M off of 30-40M in capital. It would literally take everything they had to foot the bill.

Everything they have and some of Denton's personal fortune.

If the appeal succeeds do they get back their 50M bond?

It would still ruin them because they will have to liquidate so much just to reach that amount, or will have to borrow it and the interest will be a bitch, but they might be able to survive if they get that bond back. Assuming they win, which I don't see happening in the first place.

Why not just take Denton's life and we'll call it even?

"Russian Billionaire" is the Florida Buyers in Slap-shot.

Florida is not keen on reversing jury decisions, especially not when Hogan is a Florida home town hero and Denton is a liberal elite from New York.

We don't want him dead, how else is he goin g to face up to the bill of ruining peoples lives. Quick deaths are for mercy let the leach suffer.
