Just saw this a few minutes ago. Good for them. Cases like this and the bakery that sued Oberlin College for defamation and won warm my heart.

I hope that lawyers will now actively seek out people who were defamed by the MSM. Those lawyers will get a real payday for themselves and their clients if they prevail based on new precedent. And...they'll harm the MSM.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

And of course. Now he's rich. Filthy rich. I'm glad for him, and others waiting in the wings.

YUGEEEE victory. This kid will have a billion dollars by time he’s done!

Catholic HS Student Nick Sandmann Settles $250 Million Lawsuit With The Washington Post

Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann announced on Friday that his legal team has settled its $250 million defamation lawsuit with The Washington Post.

“On 2/19/19, I filed $250M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit,” Sandmann wrote on Twitter. “Thanks to @ToddMcMurtry & @LLinWood for their advocacy. Thanks to my family & millions of you who have stood your ground by supporting me. I still have more to do.”

 

[Xae289]

Awesome. Hit those lying scumbags where it hurts. May he enjoy his hundreds of millions.

 

[dwa12479]

Good for him. Too bad the $250 million will barely be noticed missing from Bezos wallet. That's considered a "rounding error" on his tax returns.

Oh, is that the one THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A THREAD ABOUT?

 

[BDinPutnam]

Good!!!

Now, Nick...do the right thing...

buy Pravda on The Potomac and burn it the ground.

So if they're financially able to settle with him for $250 million, what makes you think he can buy the company for $250 million?

 

[Cooolone]

That's one the 2nd of 8 lawsuits... 6 more to go! He taunted Twitter CEO too after the settlement was announced! Lmao

 

[DoD1776]

Oh, is that the one THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A THREAD ABOUT?

I LOOKED. WTF

 

[DoD1776]

Oh, is that the one THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A THREAD ABOUT?

Oh that’s why I couldn’t find it, it was from 2019

 

[BDinPutnam]

Oh that’s why I couldn’t find it, it was from 2019

It was on the front page of the forum today, man!

He settled a $250 million dollar lawsuit.

That means the suit was asking for $250M. It doesn't mean they settled it for $250M.

Typically you will sue for much more than you think you can get and them settle for pennies on the dollar.

While a settlement for $2M would set the kid up very well, it would not serve as much of a deterrent to the paper that would consider than just a cost of doing business.

Also, we will probably never know how much the settlement was for, because they typically include a clause preventing the plaintiff from disclosing the terms of the deal.
