This isn’t a criminal matter, but a tort.

..criminal fines are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Was he convicted of a crime, or sued in Civil Court? It seems the rules would be different.

The headline calls it a fine. The article lists it as an award for damages.
A fine isn’t dischargeable AFAIK, damage awards and judgements are.
