A “MAGA hat”-wearing teen involved in a viral stand-off with a Native American activist could soon find himself a billionaire
A “MAGA hat”-wearing teen involved in a viral stand-off with a Native American activist is suing multiple media organisations for defamation in claims now exceeding $1 billion.
Lawyers for Nicholas Sandmann, a 16-year-old high school student from Covington, Kentucky, on Wednesday filed a defamation claim related to media coverage of the January incident against NBC Universal, owner of NBC and MSNBC.
The claim, filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, seeks $US275 million ($A392 million) in damages and comes after similar claims against The Washington Post and CNN seeking $US250 million ($A356 million) and $US275 million respectively.
That brings the total so far to $US800 million ($A1.14 billion).
“Today, Nicholas Sandmann sued NBC and MSNBC for defamation in federal court in Kentucky seeking accountability for false accusations,” prominent defamation lawyer L. Lin Wood wrote on Twitter. “Nicholas did not instigate a hate crime or engage in racist conduct.”

Good. I hope he collects at least a percentage of the amounts from each entity he is suing. But they probably still won't learn their lesson.
Even if he wins all the suits for the full amounts he'll come short of a billion, the lawyers will take a slice of that which will leave him far short. Still exceedingly rich though.
