A screenshot of his checking account submitted to the court showed he had $1,500 on hand. Daulerio, still sardonic and pugnacious in court this summer, reported a negative worth, with $26,000 in student loan debt and $8,600 in credit card debt. Now swoops in Univision, a new home for Gawker’s sites and staffers as its lawyers continue to fight the case on appeal.ĭenton himself has filed for personal bankruptcy, but perhaps no one has been hit harder by the lawsuits than ex-editor AJ Daulerio, who ran during the Hogan story and wrote the post himself. Having published Hogan’s sex tape in 2012, the scrappy site put itself on the line for the principle of free speech and paid the price: having Hulk Hogan as its main creditor. So ended the saga of sex, money and revenge that bankrupted Gawker Media and its founder after Hulk Hogan, bankrolled by billionaire- vampire Peter Thiel, won a $140m lawsuit against Denton and his company this summer in Florida court. Meanwhile, the death of Denton’s flagship got one line in the memo: “UCI will not be operating the site.” Next, it’s a matter of audience: “The addition of Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Deadspin, Lifehacker, and Kotaku to FMG will help us to continue to serve young, polycultural influencers with digital-first brands that reflect their passions with an authentic voice.” The staff memo also said that Univision was interested in “growing video operations and expanding branded entertainment efforts”. “With this strategic acquisition of digital assets, FMG’s digital reach is expected rise to nearly 75 million uniques, or 96 million uniques when including the extended reach network of partner sites – making it a leading digital publisher with a digital reach larger than Buzzfeed (77m), Vice (59m) and Vox (59m), according to comScore.” Univision hyped the acquisition to staff on Thursday in a memo, obtained by the Guardian, from chief news, entertainment & digital officer Isaac Lee.įirst and foremost, the company touted the move as a traffic grab, or “expanding” its “digital footprint”.
