Nick Denton, founder of Gawker Media, reflects on his impactful role in the early digital media era of New York. Following the downfall of Gawker due to legal battles, Denton has maintained a low profile but recently re-emerged to discuss his views on the declining dollar and America’s economic prospects. His decision to move to Hungary with his family is tied to these pessimistic views, marking a significant life change after more than two decades in New York.
I think my timing has actually been almost perfect. I left in December 2016. I obviously had some special circumstances there because of my opponent in the legal battle over Gawker, who is now pretty much one of the most powerful men in the States.
I am backing up my pessimism on America's near-term prospects by selling my SoHo apartment... and moving to Hungary, where I have family roots, with my husband and two children.
