Brett Kimberlin filed multiple LOLsuits claiming that he had been defamed by what was really truthful reporting about him and his activities. The TKPOTD for nine years ago today dealt with the one case he won. Sorta. Kinda.

The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin first defamation suit was against a left-wing blogger named Seth Allen. TDPK won that case, but not on the merits. Allen didn’t respond to the suit in a timely manner, so he lost on default. At the hearing to set the amount of damages, TDPK explained the case to Judge Jordan like this—So the judge had to look at the evidence TDPK presented and TDPK’s reputation and determine what damages to award. Kimberlin was seeking a total of $2,250,000. Here’s what the judge awarded.So we have a judicial finding that the value of Brett Kimberlin’s reputation is a hundred bucks (marked down from $2,250,000!). With that in place, it may be quite interesting to see how he will try to convince a court that he deserves a million bucks this time. If he should win. The Gentle Reader may want to get a Res Judicata drinking glass to hold a favorite beverage. Eating all that popcorn can leave one very thirsty.

Of course, the value of Kimberlin’s reputation declined precipitously as a result of his LOLsuits. Eventually, one court ruled that he was defamation proof because his reputation was so bad it was impossible to damage it.

And because the Supreme Court denied his recent frivolous petition, he’s still the Speedway Bomber.
