Hunter Biden's $1.7 Million Verdict Is Owed To His Own Lawyers
Judge Stephen Wilson entered the default judgment against Byrne on June 10 in the Central District of California.
- Byrne never answered Hunter Biden's defamation suit, so the judgment entered unopposed.
- The default judgment totals $1.7 million, filed as case 2:23-cv-09430 in California.
- Same-day filings reveal an attorney lien exceeding the full $1.7 million award.
Why it matters: A verdict collected first by the lawyers who won it was never really the client's to keep.
