He just got $50m (well, $30m after attorneys fees most likely) of Syrian sanction money for his stint in a death camp.

I always thought Caro was a great guy.

You reading this Caro? I can be a very good friend, always grateful iykwim. :D

I remember following this story years ago on SA and it's crazy all the way down. The videos of him in Libya were pretty nuts.

I mean I don't want anyone to come to harm, but you would think when you sign up for war tourism as some sort of volunteer freelance mercenary, getting sent to a prison camp is a likely outcome, getting tens of millions of dollars for it is not.

I know it's too early to know, but what are the chances he actually gets the money as opposed to Syria or whoever the lawsuit is against going "hah okay, sure, you made a ruling in a court somewhere we don't recognize, the check is "in the mail" lol" and it just never happens?

There was a video (that seems to be taken down) where is shooting at people in a water tower and says "i got him" or something like that. Been years since I have seen it.

Sanctioned Syrian money will be awarded to him.

The funniest thing out of all of this was he went to Libya then returned to the US then traveled to Turkey then Syria. Good work TSA.

Western governments didn’t care if you were going TO Syria or Libya. The Ariana Grande bombing guy and Shamima Begum are two examples.

Funny enough by going to Libya he ended up on those super secret government watch lists he thought he was on due to his schizophrenia

I was never following the Caro syrup drip but I was sad when the forums had good reason to believe him dead and absolutely flabbergasted when he was brought back.
Now I'm just elated that some measure of justice is happening and I wish him the wisdom to not ruin himself again.

He’ll definitely get his money because his lawyers want theirs and cannot get their cut until he is paid. He’ll get roughly 60-67% or so depending on the contingency agreement. They’ll also deduct costs but those will be at most $10-20k depending on expert fees and medical evaluations.

I haven’t looked at the terms of the judgment, but whatever portion is compensatory damages will likely be tax free as well, but he’ll have to pay income tax on any punitive damages.

What he does with his money is entirely up to him, though. I hope his lawyers set him up with a good financial planner and he continues to take care of himself.
