Peter Thiel spent about $10 million in secret to wipe out a media company that had outed him. His weapon was Hulk Hogan's sex tape.
In the video below, Thiel explains why he did it.
"If you make a sex tape of someone with their permission, you are a pornographer. If you make a sex tape without their permission, we were told, now you are a journalist."
It started in 2007. A Gawker blog ran a headline: "Peter Thiel is totally gay, people." He later called that blog the Silicon Valley equivalent of Al Qaeda.
In 2012, Gawker posted a clip of Hulk Hogan having sex with his best friend's wife.
Hogan sued. Nobody knew who was paying his lawyers.
In 2016 a Florida jury awarded him $140 million. Gawker went bankrupt and was sold for $135 million.
Only then did the name come out. Thiel said it was "less about revenge and more about specific deterrence," and called it "one of my greater philanthropic things that I've done."
Hogan settled for $31 million. Thiel's name never came up at the trial.
About $10 million in legal fees, and a company that spent years exposing the rich was gone.
Was it justice for a man whose bedroom was put on the internet, or a billionaire using his money to kill the press?
He sued the BBC for $10 billion expecting a payout like Disney and Paramount gave him. Instead he got a judge greenlighting subpoenas for Don Jr., Ivanka and Jared about January 6.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Reyes is furious. She has repeatedly told the government to inform her before any major demolition work was done on the golf course. The abrupt removal of 500 trees, without notice, "has cost the government all of its credibility" in this case.
KOSPI… 🇰🇷
The KOSPI is signalling a major warning🚨… the technicals look dire… caution warranted.
A major breach is in play, likely indicating a move toward the neckline of the inherently bearish head and shoulders pattern.

Australia's property Ponzi scheme is collapsing at the same time that AI is about to start significantly impacting white collar employment, and inflation is already running hot.
Ominous times ahead.
This judge is not fucking around 🔥
Trump bulldozed ahead with cutting down hundreds of trees at DC’s historic East Potomac Golf Links, despite a federal judge’s warning.
Judge Reyes said the government had “lost all credibility.”
She ordered work stopped and warned:
“If that order is violated by as so much as two seconds, there will be contempt proceedings.”
