A month ago, I made sort of that same point -- while Rebel's in-house troll Sheila Gunn Reid occasionally creams herself publicly over these piddling few hundred to few thousand dollar overturned fines, there is nothing to suggest that all those millions have made the slightest difference to the jurisprudential landscape, other than to make a small number of Rebel News-related lawyers an assload of cash.
Rebel's most high-profile money suck -- "Pastor Art" Pawlowski -- has been on the losing end of every legal hearing that I am aware of, and while Rebel insists it will keep fighting for his right to be a homophobic, racist plague rat, it doesn't seem that he's in line for a legal victory any time soon.
So where have all these millions gone? Other than paying some lawyers several hundred dollars an hour to fight against the occasional $500 fine, is there a single significant victory one can point at? Anything?
P.S. It is also worth asking, given that Der Rebel brags incessantly about having taken over 2,000 cases, are there any reports of cases where the defendants simply lost in court and had to fork over the fine after all? Unsurprisingly, Sheila Gunn Reid is deliriously happy to advertise when they win a case, but what about the rest of them? And what about the folks who took Rebel's advice and stood up to The Man, expecting to have Rebel leap in and fight for them, only for Ezra to recently pull the rug out from under them:
