[ih] Defamation lawsuit brought by self-proclaimed email "inventor" settles

[Andrew G. Malis]

Shiva got $750G in a settlement with Gawker Media over an article they
wrote about the email controversy in 2012 (this was part of the settlement
that got Hulk Hogan $31M). Since then, his philosophy is to try to sue
detractors into the ground.

Cheers,
Andy
