Idiot trolls Ryanair and loses
 

An idiot tried to troll Ryanair with threats of a terror incident on one of their aircraft. Ryanair tracked him down, sued him, and won nearly $250k! :D

Ryanair wins £220,000 from Twitter user who posted terror threat | The Independent

Done & dusted, already, elsewhere.

Where will the money come from?

Most trolls don't have that kind of ready cash

how he is going to pay
 

Two words: wage garnishment.
That is, if he has any official wage.

but that won't leave him any money for even cheapo air fares

Ryanair...
 

I can't stand FR because of their hiring practices, what they've done to the industry and MOL.

However, I take my hat off to them for this and applaud them. We need more stuff like this. Too many people these days do not understand that actions have consequences.

I understand the first question usually asked by lawyers of the potential litigant/claimant is 'Do you have any money'? ...and the second question is 'Does the person/organisation you wish to sue have any money '? If the answer to either is a 'No' then ordinarily forget it, although there are No win No fee lawyers in the UK prepared to take it on provided the defendant has assets and there's a reasonable prospect of success. Presumably Ryanair were confident that the defendant had money

I am with Station Calling on this one. I also would never fly FR, but on this occasion MOL has actually done aviation a favour in my view.

He may well have to be declared bankrupt

Maybe they wanted to take a stand and could afford to lose

That may well apply if you, as a private citizen, wish to engage a lawyer to act on your behalf.
Different kettle of fish if you already have a whole department full of them dancing to your tune.
