They're about as likely to get paid as the poor sods the RIAA sued. It's just about using their legal muscle to shut them down.

They will get the assets though. So $30k in patron money for the month, the domain, the trademark, and the copyright to the GPL'd code.

They didn't win in court though, they settled, so the money would be a strange and arbitrary amount if they don't think they're getting it?

Pretty much. The term for this is judgement proof.
