Let me try to understand what happened here, in a nutshell. 1. jonmon sues multiple people with a stated purpose of hurting them monetarily for causing him imagined harm. 2. They are forced to hire separate multiple lawyers. 3. jonmon threatens more people with being added to the lawsuit, and brags in two press releases that he's intending to harm all these people. 4. jonmon dismisses the lawsuit.
Thus, the upshot is that he has put out the money for one lawyer, and the people he wanted to hurt have put out money for multiple lawyers.
I'd say jonmon has won, because he has succeeded in his purpose of hurting multiple people monetarily.
Yes, I know that Ron doesn't have to pay for council, but Deb (or her employers) and srakkt did. And since a fund was created, those who donated to the fund are out that money too.
IANAL, but can a dismissed suit be countersued for damages? I hope so.
