Gawker Files for Bankruptcy, Will Be Put Up for Auction

Just out of interest - insurance may not have saved them. I have liability insurance etc but it's capped at £2 million. I doubt any corporate insurance plan for Gawker would be uncapped, so they may well have still gone under.

Also a good point, true. But it does put the lie to their claim, under oath, in court, that there was emotional damage suffered and that compensation was sought.

Actually, it could be construed as evidence of real emotional damage. That is, they'd rather see Gawker go under than get more money, because one would make them feel a lot better than the other.
