You can't be serious. In a court of law, Gawker was found to be (extremely) wrong, and outing people ain't cool.
It was anything but shady.
The shady part was strategically structuring the damages for Gawker's insurance to not be eligible and ensure bankruptcy. If I remember correctly (don't quote me on this), they lowered it enough for it not to kick in.
