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.

Yeah punitive is taxable and comp dam is almost always tax-free*, generally with cases like this it'll get referred by his lawyers to an FA they work with that specializes in structured settlements; that FA will set him up with a SPIA with a fixed PC and then he'll start getting payments like a month, month and a half, after things are settled and set up. Annuitization is the easiest part, the rest of it is hell.

I only remark on the lawyers because I haven't seen the full text of the judgement and order yet but I hope the judge set a cap on the firm cut.


*There are exceptions I'm not your FA don't listen this is not financial advice etc

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

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
Before Caro went to Libya he did some selfies and posted them in GIP with an alt account saying he was a journalist or some poo poo, when it was clear that it was him someone stated he was doing a self-fulfilling prophecy and begged him not to go.

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.
He went to a really bad place. Saying he survived after he went silent on social media would be the crazy option.

Like...he tried. He really did, and that's more than you can say for some.

But you can't just go waltzing through an active war zone with hopes and dreams, and your online ordered medical supplies.

He'd probably be a good medic NOW that he's got some real life experience.

Again, he was a moron. But I guess I'm glad he lived.

By goon accounts I seem to recall he was doing trauma surgery with no medical training and misrepresenting himself as a doctor to injured people?

Yeah, because in his head, he WAS a trained medical provider.

He saw it on YouTube and was like

It's been a while but the video I saw showed him shooting a Dragunov at a door for target practice or something and I seem to recall someone else he was fighting with straight up calling him crazy.

If he's lucky in any way it's to have survived. He could easily buy SA now. He could just buy it out and drop the database but I don't know how big his grudge was with this place. It seemed to be more about government agencies.
