What he wrote is very clear, it can not be interpreted any differently. He is saying there is verification that JK is a male prostitute. The courts would see this statement exactly as intended. Very clear. Very direct.
It is hard for me to believe that a court would ever rule on the side of a 100% anonymous person being slandered. I think you have to prove damaged. Kewl would have to prove his online presence has some value which was taken away. No?
You do bring up an interesting point as far as damages to an anonymous person.

The problem is that he is not 100% anonymous, there are people that know him in real life that also know he is user "KewlJ" on these forums. How many? I couldn't tell ya.

The most obvious example would be if he was dating someone, that person obviously knows he participates as user "KewlJ", he then reads the statement about being a prostitute and causes damages to the relationship or leaves him.

A scummy lawyer can come up with all kinds of stuff.

Even if someone was 100% anonymous, I'm sure it could be argued participating on forums is a hobby, and damages are often awarded when defendants can no longer participate in hobbies due to injury (physical or mental). But yeah, interesting question, There must be some case law on it by now.
There are zero people that know him on these forums. I am one of like three that have sighted him in the wild with and without his Sugar Daddy years ago. But no one knows him. People he has implied that he knows don't know him either. Just like he doesn't live in the only place in Vegas that has a car service as part of their HOA that one could get driven to the Strip in order to get in some blackjack sessions.
