From what I understand, Sandmann probably made about $3 million in total. That would approximate a nuisance payout from each of those that Sandmann was suing. He settled each one quickly, which implies a minimal payout from the defendants. I think there was only one defendant that had a lawsuit last more than a couple of weeks, but I could be wrong.
That’s definitely not chicken feed and his education is paid for as well as being able to buy a home. He is set for life, in terms of being able to invest when he’s 18 and not have to wait to invest when his loans are all paid off. He’s going to be ok.
I don’t know if Rittenhouse will do as well, because he doesn’t have as many people to sue, as far as I know.
the only place i read this theory was one left wing lawyer posting on twitter posting about “nuisance payout”- nothing else indicates this
