We also wish to advise you that Mr. [A.J.] Daulerio intends to take the following personal items with him to California: his computer, his phone, and a limited amount of clothing. Would you like him to ship the other personal items he has in Florida — such as his rice cooker, dishes, books, and remaining clothing — to you? Or, would it be easier to ship those items directly to Mr. [Terry] Bollea or Mr. [Peter] Thiel? If it is acceptable to Mr. Bollea and his benefactor Mr. Thiel, Mr. Daulerio would prefer to take those items with him to California, but did not want to run afoul of their desires.

— Attorneys Michael Berry and Paul Safier of Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz, in a tongue-in-cheek letter written on behalf of their client, former Gawker editor-in-chief A.J. Daulerio, to counsel to Terry Bollea (d/b/a/ Hulk Hogan). Daulerio’s checking account is currently frozen thanks to the $115.1 million judgment rendered in Bollea’s invasion-of-privacy suit against Gawker, which was funded by Peter Thiel. Daulerio is the only defendant in the case who hasn’t filed for bankruptcy, and his assets are subject to seizure and auction, with all proceeds from their sale due to Bollea’s attorneys.
