63. Although the suit touches on the hacking, it really seems to emphasize stuff like his camera

and stuff like this that caused "damages":

It also emphasized TOS for membership. (Which included their anonymity, which is probably BS )

It will be interesting to see what happens. The hacking was wrong (illegal), but did the hacking cause damage to the plaintiffs? Or did Capito's photos cause damage?

And we also have this case:

https://www.lawyerscommittee.org/lawyers-committee-files-lawsuit-against-patriot-front-members-for-vandalism-intimidation/

Defendants include the Patriot Front, National Director Thomas Rousseau, Network Director Paul Gancarz, and Patriot Front members Nathan Noyce and Thomas Dail. The lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District of Virginia and includes claims for conspiracy to violate civil rights under the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 as well as intimidation based on racial animosity under Virginia state law.

Paul Gancarz is one of the Patriot Front members that is suing Capito
