Pretty much that. He had absolutely no real legal foundation to demand the information he was demanding and in a rare example of legal incompetence, not even his lolyers could magic up some bullshit for it. He was literally demanding things he had no remotely justifiable reason to demand.
He probably had a malpractice case against his lolyers who didn't tell him this.
The specific reason for the damages award was simply that he lost a discovery dispute, though. That's just automatic. If his lawyers didn't tell him that was the inevitable result of losing a discovery dispute he couldn't possibly have won, they were incompetent.
I wonder what would have actually happened if he had unmasked 60 john does. Things would probably be exactly the same but maybe the forum is now owned by staqi and this thread's op is lovercake. unless one of his aTalkers was in WI i can't imagine pat putting in the legwork to do anything
