Whelp, it’s been nice folks. Looks like we’re going to be needing a new Oppo.

Great! Only $114,999,979.50 to go!

Wonder what is going on in the Gawker offices.

We should all buy Oppo and make it independent.

I’d rather see Jalopnik spun off or bought by someone else than even consider giving Gawker a dime out of my pocket.

I guess that takes the sting out of his divorce settlement.

don’t be in such a rush, I’m sure they’ll appeal.

Time to pay for Jalopnik Gold if you want to read or access any article. With Jalopnik Gold Plus Iridium Hulk Hogan Hey Brother Editon, you can also comment on Jalopnik and access Oppo (for a grand time of 5mins permitting server time) for only a small montly payment of 65.98 schmeckles.

I got this much.

Damn! Did he even make half that wrestling? 115 Million is absurd. Anything over 2 million is just ridiculous.

gawker (.com) to me always seemed like what you’d get if you told a bunch of middle- and high-school kids to make a news site about what they think is important. And that’s about all it is; who sucks, who’s fucking who, isn’t she a total bitch, this guy’s a homo, that dude is super creepy, etc.

Gawker will appeal and, in this lawyer’s opinion, likely prevail. At this point, it costs them comparatively very little to beat Hogan over the head in appellate court. Good times!

So...... What does that mean for us? Who is Hulk Hogan? Why so much $$

Don’t forget a large dose of hypocrisy as they decried (correctly so, I might add) the leaking of private female celebrity photos in the infamous iCloud hack, but had no moral qualms posting his sex tape.

Somebody has to have the old Oppo archives somewhere. Maybe we could snatch that up and all pitch in for hosting?

I'd like to take this opportunity to invite the writers of the site formerly known as Jalopnik to our blog. Bring your press cars please.

Wrestling, no - licensing, endorsements, ‘acting’ (not in a televised fake wrestling league) and reality tv deals, probably more.

I've significantly decreased my visitation to the FP over the last 6 months or so anyways so wouldn't bother me too much, just leave Oppo be!

prevail in what way? getting the verdict overturned, or getting the damages reduced?

RandomTask > Steve in Manhattan 03/18/2016 at 20:20

That’s all well and good, but as has been said elsewhere, Florida has very strict payout rulings - even if it is going to appeal. Most states allow payment to be postponed until after the appeal process is completed...not Florida. Gawker Media will have to pay the full $115M, where it is then held until the appeal is settled. Can we all agree that the state of Florida finally got it’s revenge for this GIF.

The fashion now is that appellate courts knock down a judgment. Overturning the verdict or cutting the amount by 75% or so is a victory. It’s mostly down to the judges they draw ... Dem appointees more sympathetic to plaintiffs, GOP judges not so much. It’s not fair, but it’s the system we have.

I believe they can put up a percentage, but I’m not sure.

Bond caps at 50M USD, at least from what I’ve read.

At this point, if there’s a way they can flip it into federal court, that would be my move. Fewer dumb rules.

artiofab > Steve in Manhattan 03/18/2016 at 21:17

Yeah that would probably be preferable...

while I find the notion of “fashion” in law to be worrying, if you’re actually an attorney I’ll gladly give more weight to your assessment.

There is the group of us who post on G+. Somebody has to use that system.
