    An Ohio federal judge this morning awarded comedian Dean Obeidallah $4.1m in damages in his libel suit against neo-Nazi Daily Stormer publisher Andrew Anglin. Almost $3m more than Obeidallah was seeking. Doom is nigh for Anglin and DS.

        Obeidallah's lawyer Subodh Chandra told me the judgment also includes "injunctive relief," meaning Anglin has to take down the defamatory material and not repeat it anywhere, including social media.

        "But this seems to be a pretty lawless group," Chandra said. "We’ll see if they comply with a federal court order.” And if Anglin doesn't? Would his undisclosed location be an issue in enforcing the order? Chandra pointed out that the court has U.S. Marshals at its disposal...

        Like all far-right extremists, neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin makes a mockery of the First Amendment and tries to hide behind it to libel and harass. Federal judge said what Anglin did in the Obeidallah case was not protected speech.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dean-obeidallah-andrew-anglin-libel_n_5d013357e4b0985c4196d150 …

        Anglin has made at least $260k in bitcoin. Here's a new story about the largest bitcoin donation Anglin has received, which came a week after the Cville riot. 14.88 BTC. Over $60k at the time. Anglin's mysterious donor is sitting on another $23 million.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/andrew-anglin-bitcoin-mysterious-donor_n_5d011cc6e4b0304a12087e0c …

        Doubt it, unfortunately. He's long since been out of the US and claiming he's no longer a US citizen. Pretty much all his cash in in crypto. It'll be nearly impossible to collect on him. He's said many times that he will accept default judgments for that reason.

        1.) What proof do you have that he's out of the country? 2.) The proof he offered for being a "stateless" citizen (an argument shot down in court) was his American passport. Lol. 3.) Is the Daily Stormer an asset that can be seized?
