I don't follow the logic here. Gawker was brought down via the Hogan case, which was financed by Thiel.

Do you believe the Hogan case was an illegitimate suit? If not, why does it matter who financed it? I find the fact that it requires huge funds to win a case much more troubling, personally. If the suit itself is legitimate, then him winning is a good thing.

If you take exception to Thiel financing Hogan's case, why? Hogan very likely would not have been able to afford the case without the financing, meaning justice wouldn't have been served because he was not rich enough.
