Neo-Nazi blogger ordered to pay $14 million in damages to woman he targeted in 'troll storm'

A Montana judge has recommended that neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin pay $14 million in punitive and compensatory damages to Tanya Gersh, a Whitefish, Montana real estate agent he terrorized with a “troll storm” back in 2016.

U.S. Magistrate judge Jeremiah Lynch also said on Monday that Anglin should remove all online posts encouraging readers to contact the real estate agent and her family.

In 2016, Anglin accused Gersh of trying to force white nationalist Richard Spencer’s mother to sell her building in Whitefish. Then he doxxed her – revealed personal information on Gersh, her husband and their son on the web. They were met with a barrage of threats and anti-Semitic messages, The Missoulian reported.

Lynch in his decision called out the “particularly egregious and reprehensible nature of Anglin’s conduct” in telling his internet followers to unleash the so-called troll storm against Gersh, her husband and their then 12-year-old son.
