Probably $8m in Dogecoin or something.

Yeah without the threat of defamation payouts the mainstream tabloids alone would be considerably worse, and cases like Jones are important for showing grifters there are in fact limits.Even if it doesn't cripple his operation, this lawsuit could well have a chilling effect, by demonstrating how spreading such lies is not always consequence-free.

You don't need to be disgusted yet, $4m is not the main sum of the judgment, it's just the compensatory element based on proven loss. The main sting usually comes with punitive damages, which are set by the jury and being discussed today.
Yep, as the NYT puts it: "Compensatory damages are based on proven harm, loss or injury, and are often calculated based on the fair market value of damaged property, lost wages and expenses, according to Cornell Law School. Punitive damages are designed to punish especially harmful behavior and tend to be granted at the court’s discretion, and are sometimes many multiples of a compensatory award."

(b) Exemplary damages awarded against a defendant may not exceed an amount equal to the greater of:
(1)(A) two times the amount of economic damages; plus
(B) an amount equal to any noneconomic damages found by the jury, not to exceed $750,000; or
(2) $200,000.
Should clarify I'm not clear on that, Mark Bankston (plaintiff's lawyer) seems to think it's a 'reasonable multiple'. I doubt he's wrong, but... lawyer speak.
Presumably the court can also award legal costs etc, and I believe there are another 8 families seeking compensation? Lost track of details... need to get clarification somewhere.
What does Joe Rogan have to say about Jones now

As I predicted. He has so many diehard followers, only jailtime would serve as actual punishment for him. I fear the same of Trump too.

Meanwhile Noah Pozener's poor family can't even visit their son's grave because of the harassment, including death threats forcing them and others to relocate almost ten times through out all this.
In the span of a week, three suicides have devastated communities already linked by mass tragedies.
Two were young survivors of last year’s massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. One was the father of a child who was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Their deaths have compounded the grief that still permeates Parkland, Florida, and Newtown, Connecticut.
The thought has occurred to me; maybe the lawyers didn't want to perjure themselves, and sent the full data as requested(ordered?)? Not a lawyer so just guessing.
So this is just for one family, and there are more to come?
Surely there's a limit to how much his legions of idiot disciples can/will cough up?
