Federal judge awards a Muslim-American radio host $4.1M in monetary damages after he successfully sued a neo-Nazi website operator who falsely accused him of terrorism.
Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Edmund Sargus Jr. agreed to enter a default judgment against Anglin and his company, Moonbase Holdings LLC. Sargus announced the award after a Wednesday morning hearing.
Among those who testified Wednesday was Andrew Anglin's father, Greg Anglin. Obeidallah's attorneys, who were allowed to subpoena Greg Anglin, have said he previously testified that he helped his son collect and deposit between $100,000 and $150,000 in readers' mailed donations over a five-year period.
Obeidallah, a comedian and Daily Beast columnist, says Anglin falsely labeled him as the"mastermind" behind a deadly bombing at a concert in England. Obeidallah said he received death threats after Anglin published an article about him in June 2017.
Anglin's current whereabouts are a mystery. The Ohio native has said he's lived abroad for years and claims it would be too dangerous for him to travel to the U.S. because he gets credible death threats.
