White supremacist and con artist supporter Nathan Damigo, filed for bankruptcy protection to protect his assets from a civil lawsuit. The lawsuit is for his part in the Charlottesville rally at which another con artist supporter deliberately ran into a crowd of people, killing one of them. Today, a federal judge said no. Bankruptcy will not protect the con artist supporter from the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, Damigo coordinated with others on actions to take at the rally which was against racism.
When the judge allowed the plaintiffs access to electronic communications for Damigo, one of the attorneys said they found evidence of talk about ramming into crowds and how to legally defend yourself afterwards.
For his part, the defendant says there is no such evidence and he had nuffin to do with the attack. Also, if the con artist can declare bankruptcy six different times so he doesn't have to pay his bills, so should the defendant.

The case was brought under the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 that was meant to protect the civil and political rights of millions of freed slaves from vigilante groups during Reconstruction.
"This lawsuit is not seeking to prevent them from speaking or believing anything that they want," Robbie Kaplan of Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, who is representing the plaintiffs and is known for winning the landmark Supreme Court case that laid the groundwork for marriage equality, told ABC News. "While their views are odious to us, they are not the issue. The issue is, motivated by those views, that they agreed to engage in an illegal conspiracy to commit violence."
