From what I understand Alex Jones isn't as broke as he claims--he's been hiding some money around in different ways. Like when he filed for bankruptcy before the other trial one company he listed as the major company his owed money to was also owned by him. And I think there have been other issues with him trying to escape financial responsibility with shell companies and not being very good about hiding the ownership of the companies.
Although I just read that this award is for compensatory damages which could be discharged if he successfully files for bankruptcy. BUT any punitive damages can't be discharged by bankruptcy and the the punitive damages for Connecticut haven't been decided yet ---which means there will be more damages that Jones owes.
Honestly I'm hoping he does something super illegal while trying to hide funds or move money around and gets criminal charges brought against him.
I just said to my mother that he should be in prison, and she said he should be flogged in a public square, which sounded about right.
I thought his bankruptcy filings in advance of that Texas case were already pretty damn fraudulent?
I'd like to see him rot in jail for the rest of his life, but if he keeps digging himself in deeper with all these courtroom and money hiding shenanigans and becomes a huge siphon for donations that would otherwise go to Far Right politicians, it might be an acceptable consolation prize.
Hey Matt! Happy Birthday!! We are indeed delighted that you were born and found your way to the Buffista family. Enjoy the day, and the year to come.
Matt I don't think that Alex Jones did anything criminal with the attempt at bankruptcy in Texas. I know that it was dismissed
But last month a judge barred a lawyer and the chief restructuring officer for Free Speech Systems from working the bankruptcy. There was conflict of interest and then the judge deemed that the CRO was deferring to Jones and the other companies instead of just looking out for FSS. The judge also ordered an independent trustee to be involved and Jones just picked a new restructuring officer the beginning of October and that person has been approved by everyone. I'm not sure if there is a new lawyer, the article from late Sept said there was only someone who agreed to serve as co counsel but since everything is moving forward I guess they did.
And I saw Marjorie Taylor Greene was defending Jones and then saying this was political persecution and trampling over his free speech...which really isn't surprising that the extremists are defending Jones.
