I'm going to be Joker right now.
We all know the Gawker Media net worth is $300m or less because of Wikipedia but they aren't going to say what Gawker is worth today…
Someone suggested me for us to revive Operation Disrespectful Nod to kill Gawker at once.
Why? Well, it's because of this: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0700-0799/0768/Sections/0768.73.html
Award of punitive damages may not exceed the greater of 3 times the amount of compensatory damages awarded.
What this mean? This mean Gawker might need to pay 3x times of $115 million dollars!
BUT WAIT A SECOND! HERE COME THE BEST PART!
Where the fact finder determines that the wrongful conduct proven under this section was motivated solely by unreasonable financial gain and determines that the unreasonably dangerous nature of the conduct, together with the high likelihood of injury resulting from the conduct, was actually known by the managing agent, director, officer, or other person responsible for making policy decisions on behalf of the defendant, it may award an amount of punitive damages not to exceed the greater of four times the amount of compensatory damages awarded.
4x TIMES OF $115 MILLIONS! THAT WOULD KILL GAWKER AND NOBODY WOULD WANT TO BUY IT.
Even if they want to buy Gawker, the value would be way lower than the net worth of Gawker, maybe 150 millions or less.
