Far-right blogger and Holocaust denier Charles C. Johnson was ordered to pay at least $40 million after he was found liable in a civil racketeering case for falsely portraying himself as a U.S. intelligence asset in order to extort companies to give him large sums of money and equity.
Because he was found liable for RICO counts, some of the damages awarded by the jury to the plaintiff will be tripled, resulting in a total of approximately $71 million that Johnson would be required to pay.
“I’m disappointed I didn’t break the record. But I’m pleased to be in the top 3,” Johnson told The Independent, sharing a screenshot of the “largest pure-defamation award and settlements” in the United States over the past five years. “I’ll appeal and win on appeal,” he added.
Johnson, a notorious internet troll who briefly made a mark in the 2024 presidential election due to his past correspondence with JD Vance, was hit with a startling lawsuit last year by investment firm Point Bridge Capital and its founder, Hal Lambert.
In the complaint, filed in a Texas federal court, Lambert alleged that Johnson and his business partner Gator Greenwill had “falsely present[ed] themselves as intelligence agents or assets of U.S. government agencies” as part of a “fraud and extortion scheme.”
“If a company or investor doesn’t give in to their demands for equity or favorable investment terms, Johnson and Greenwill threaten to sabotage the companies’ contracts or funding under the guise of their false claims to be government agents,” the lawsuit said. “Johnson has wrongfully succeeded in profiting from and gaining interests in these cutting-edge technology companies using this shakedown scheme.”
The complaint alleged that Lambert first met Johnson in 2016 when the right-wing provocateur hit him up with “an unsolicited offer to help raise money for a political candidate.” Eventually, in late 2020, Point Bridge received a small investment from Johnson, which gave him a minority stake in its special-purpose vehicle (SPV) for the satellite imaging company, Umbra Space.
Additionally, Lambert also held a significant investment in Clearview AI, a facial recognition firm that had previously purchased software from Johnson, which resulted in him earning sales commissions and a stake in the company..............

Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., is facing a lawsuit seeking his eviction over alleged failure to pay thousands of dollars in rent at a property in Washington, D.C., according to court papers.
In a complaint filed in D.C. Superior Court last week, Bozzuto Management Company said the congressman did not pay a total of $85,009 in rent between March and July. Monthly rent for the property, according to the court filing, is $20,833.
The management company is asking the court to allow it to evict Mills and for an order requiring that he submit future monthly payments with the court until the case is resolved. An initial hearing is scheduled for Sept. 8.
The lawsuit was first reported by Roger Sollenberger, an independent journalist.
A resident ledger accompanying the management company's lawsuit appears to show Mills has repeatedly failed to pay his rent on time, and that he was frequently assessed fees for late payments. He moved into the property in June 2023.
According to court papers, Mills was served in January with a notice to pay over $18,000 in past due rent by Feb. 26, and a notice of the company's intent to file a lawsuit.
A spokesperson for Mills did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night, but Mills posted screenshots on X earlier in the day that he said showed him "repeatedly asking for payment links and again as I tried with management today, it failed to process."..............

A Colorado woman working for the world’s largest meatpacking company – and major Trump supporter – claims supervisors pressured her to falsify safety records while workers were regularly losing fingers and limbs due to inadequate training.
Salima Jandali, an aspiring police officer who speaks three languages and has a Bachelor’s degree in political science and anthropology from the University of Northern Colorado, says her supervisor regularly denigrated her as a “stupid Arab” and forced her and others to work without proper protective equipment.
When Jandali, 31, complained to management about what she saw as dangerous shortcomings at the JBS USA beef processing plant in Greeley, roughly 50 miles north of Denver, her locker was vandalized, her Islamic prayer beads were thrown in the trash and she was forced out of her job.
That’s according to a federal lawsuit filed by Jandali, which describes her experience at JBSas “a disturbing example of systematic workplace discrimination and retaliation against… a Muslim woman and Moroccan immigrant who refused to participate in her employer’s illegal, dangerous, and exploitative practices.”
Once she left, Jandali “never wanted to look back,” she told The Independent.
Jandali said a newly arrived Burmese immigrant got his arm amputated by a processing-floor machine, that others lost digits, and that accidental stabbings with hooks and knives were commonplace. The company constantly said it was short-staffed, and cut corners on safety protocols to make up for it, according to Jandali. However, she went on, many of the new hires didn’t speak English and JBS lacked any translation services to help them understand what they were being told to do.
“They didn’t want to complete the classes for new employees, and the retaliation began when I started speaking out,” she said. “I just want to show the world how corrupt they are, and hopefully this is going to raise awareness so people know the truth about what’s going on in there.”……….

My god! That's the old Monfort plant in Greeley Colorado. It has apparently changed ownership, going from Monfort to ConAgra, then Swift, and lastly becoming the JBS plant. Wow, it's old, it has always smelled to high heaven, beng down wind of it was an eye watering experience, and that was if one were outside of a one mile radius.Guess this can go here

Inside of that radius, over an extended amount of time it was a breathtaking experience which would leach a person's skin tone such that they would become like an albino with poor underlying health.
For two weeks in 84 I worked for a company which was located too darned close to that horrible plant, I was experiencing that albino cure for myself.
I quit that job after two weeks, and got my rear out of there. I never got within a quarter mile of their front door, I didn't have to enter that place to be poisoned by it. I don't think I could have walked through that door into such an all time record setting stench.
