Federal Judge Orders Florida GOP Candidate James Fishback To Pay $1.3M To Former Employer A federal judge in New York has ordered Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback to pay more than $1.3 million in legal fees and costs to his former employer. U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer signed the judgment Tuesday, awarding Greenlight Capital Inc. and DME Capital Management LP a total of $1,318,516.03. That breaks down to about $1.2 million in fees and $120,000 in costs. The amount does not include post-judgment interest. The ruling formalizes an earlier June order stemming from Fishback’s contentious split with the hedge fund.
