With my six-figure victory in my lawsuit against a MAGA who assaulted me because of my reporting, I no longer have to be quiet about everything we learned. I'll tell whole story soon. For now:
We unraveled the private, white supremacist network, & theyre just learning it now...
Kurt Eichenwald
@kurteichenwald
...we know what you've said, we know who a lot of you are. We've seen you praise @TuckerCarlson as you translate his nightly dog whistles into action. (It's ugly, Tucker.) I found some of the politicians who participate in their network (Hi Sidney.)....2

Replying to @kurteichenwald
...we found the ones of you who attended and threw parties at the Trump Inaugural. We have thousands of pages of documents that you mother fuckers thought would forever remain secret. Even better, I know names of some of you who mimicked the actions of my attacker....3
Kurt Eichenwald
@kurteichenwald
...and strobed not only me - in hopes of causing a second seizure - but even a range of other people in the epilepsy community. The FBI is investigating other attacks. And you cocky ones who thought you couldnt be found - AFTER we found Rivello - could not be more stupid...4
...so, we'll be talking BA - if, like Rivello, the feds dont come knocking first. Hopefully, we'll be seeing lots of you. And hopefully, come January, you wont be able to rely on a corrupt Justice Department to keep you safe from prosecution. So, pleasant dreams, you scum.

OP
I think it refers to a civil suit as well. "six figure win". I think Rivello pleaded guilty in 2019

Seizure-inducing tweet and GIF deemed "a deadly weapon" by grand jury
MARCH 22, 2017 / 10:36 AM / CBS/AP
DALLAS -- A Maryland man has been indicted in Texas on a hate-crime charge after a Twitter message induced a seizure in a Newsweek reporter. A grand jury described a tweet and GIF in the case as a deadly weapon.
======
According an affidavit filed with the complaint, evidence received pursuant to a search warrant showed that Rivellos Twitter account contained direct messages from his account to other Twitter users concerning Eichenwald. Among those direct messages included statements by Rivello, including I hope this sends him into a seizure, Spammed this at [victim] lets see if he dies, and I know he has epilepsy.
Additional evidence received pursuant to a search warrant showed Rivellos iCloud account contained a screenshot of a Wikipedia page for the victim, which had been altered to show a fake obituary with the date of death listed as Dec. 16, 2016.
========
In a statement Tuesday, Rivellos attorneys said he is a military veteran with post-traumatic stress who apologized to Eichenwald and is seeking counseling. Rivello already faces a federal interstate domestic violence charge.

This article is from 2019, more recent than the one you cite. Lots of good info:

(7,639 posts)12. Whoever attacked Kurt by strobing him
Plus. Anyone aiding and abetting him and his cabal.
I should have thought this obvious.
Sorry if you found it unclear.

about communications technologies.
