The reporting
U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson on Friday ordered former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne to pay Hunter Biden $1 in nominal damages and $1.7 million in punitive damages in Biden’s defamation case. Biden sued Byrne in 2023 over an interview claim that Biden had sought an $800 million bribe from Iran’s government in 2021. Wilson had indicated in January that Byrne faced punitive damages after failing to defend himself against the claims. The order also granted Biden’s motion to enforce prior sanctions.
