According to The New York Times, Andrew Anglin, whereabouts unknown, could be on the hook for a bit of cash.

The publisher of a neo-Nazi website should pay more than $14 million in damages for encouraging "an online anti-Semitic harassment and intimidation campaign" against a woman in 2016, a federal magistrate judge in Montana recommended on Monday.

In his opinion, the judge, Jeremiah Lynch, also recommended that the publisher, Andrew Anglin, be made to remove all blog posts from the website, The Daily Stormer, that encouraged readers to contact the woman, Tanya Gersh, and her family.

Within months of Mr. Anglin's call for a "troll storm" against them, Ms. Gersh and her family had received more than 700 vulgar and hateful messages, many referring to the Holocaust. They temporarily fled their home.

Mr. Anglin did not appear in court, and his location is unknown. He did not respond to an email on Monday requesting comment on the lawsuit. And it was not clear how much money if any could ever be collected from him.

Nice that Andrew has gone back to where he's from, allegedly Thailand.

    Total bullshit, jmorris you ferking unamerican! The Cops in Portland have well know right-wing tendencies, as do all cops everywhere. Text-messages have been leaked. They then to be closeted gays, as well, but that is a steroids thing. So take your spin and twist it up your anal orafice, jmorris of the right-twisted sphincter! Anti-fa is coming for you, for the same reason the government is coming for you, and that is because you are basically a criminal, an enemy of the people, and thus an enemy of the state, which are "we, the people". I would be very afraid if I were you. I would stop posting in this forum, and I would realize that at this point Gab is nothing but a honeypot for really stupid right-wing extremists. We, the people, are coming for you, since you are not one of us. I suggest you go back to where you came from.

    Oh, the SJW Wet Squad is still tracking you. They just fixed that "secure messaging" thing. It is what you don't know that can hurt you.
