Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving “person”. This isn’t going to bring the kids back but at least it’ll stop people from fucking harassing the parents decades later. Jones is mentally fucked up and he deserves to be locked up.
And yet I believe he still will not pay them a dime… just like if trump loses all his court cases in New York, I really believe he will just refuse to pay and force them to chase him around asking for that money for the rest of his life. Rich people never have to pay fines in the US, its all for show, they always find a way to get around everything.
You are aware that he doesn’t have a choice whether he pays, right?
Court orders will be issued for his assets. You don’t see rich people paying for their crimes because they get away with it. Successful scumbags don’t put themselves in positions like this.
Yeah but the way he incorporated the business, his parents own most of the business interests, which is going to take a lot to claw back. It’s really insidious.
