Which really goes to show you how dumb Akilah is and how exploitative her attorneys are.

I genuinely think the attorneys didn't know this was gonna happen. Sargon is such a beta male joke that you'd think the powers that be would be salivating at the chance to humble him for some free woke points. The fact that they basically pulled a fast one on this stunningly brave kween is, pardon my language, quite poggers.

Like, this win would be a 'feather in the cap' for a woke attorney. Instead, they now look like a fuckin' buffoon because they lost to Sargon.
 
The Court said:
Hughes's claims were objectively unreasonable - a fact that was clear from the face of the complaint and the video at the heart of the dispute.

[...]

The court has little difficulty concluding that Hughes's dual goals in bringing her baseless suit were to inflict financial harm on Benjamin and to raise her own profile in the process.
Beautiful. Shows how incredibly stupid public boasts, especially relating to an active court case, are. Litigious cows, take note.

I guess that fistful of fish and cup of milkshake really fed his aura - since then he produced an actual landmark fair use case, and now is goading people into tackling Patreon. We've all laughed at him and talked bad behind his back, but now is the sweet summer day where we all come to the house of Don Sargone to kiss the ring, and thank him for his patronage.
 
She was ordered to pay his attorney fees on top of it all.

I should note that Carl Benjamin's lawyer charged $38,785.35 for this dispositive motion in a federal case involving intellectual property claims. It shouldn't be, but this is extraordinarily good value and bang for the buck, and he did it while making the other side pay. Remember the name
Wesley Martin Mullen. This is the motherfucker you want if you need to SLAPP down some retard.
 
Who is worse?
Akilah's lawyers, or Maddox's dog bite lawyer?
Akilah's wins the worst lawyer award. Her initial complaint admitted that the work she was suing over was fair use, and was critical in getting the suite dismissed early on.

The dog bite lawyer was at least so bad he couldn't inflict that type of self damage.
 
How do these things realistically pan out tho? Even if you set-up a long term payment plan, $40k is nothing to sneeze at.

Or do you just declare bankruptcy and everything gets wiped clean, ala DSP?

The question is whether SLAPP sanctions are dischargeable in bankruptcy. Judgments for willful torts aren't, i.e. if you negligently ran someone over with your car the judgment would be dischargeable but if you deliberately did it you're still on the hook. As an example, O.J. Simpson couldn't discharge his wrongful death judgment in bankruptcy (although he was able to make it very difficult to collect).

I don't know whether the issue has been decided. I also don't think it would be a strict rule, because it might be possible to file a SLAPP suit negligently rather than maliciously, especially if you had bad lawyers, which Hughes obviously did.

The dog bite lawyer was at least so bad he couldn't inflict that type of self damage.

The federal standard does not require subjective bad faith, just objective frivolousness. If the Maddox lolsuit judge (who replaced the excellent Judge Charles Ramos) applied any standard at all, it was subjective and he may have just decided Landau was too obviously a fucking retard to be malicious, an incorrect decision but whatever.

I don't know about that.
Romeo LaCoste's lawyer, Raoul "Yes, my client is a pedo but it is not a matter of public concern and you can't call him that on the internet" J. Severo takes the cake ATM.

As for this case, the only question is how is Sargon going to collect those fees from Hughes? She isn't worth much.
 
This thing reads like Sullivan actively despised the plaintiff. I know it was clear he wasn't too pleased with them, I wonder what triggered the animosity.
I can't imagine that the plaintiff demanding the defendant pay $48k to settle the lawsuit after the court had already indicated that it pretty strongly favored the defendant helped any.
