That's... wild.
Aside from whatever you feel about this guy, he's fucked. It might take some time but the victims will start to get court orders to seize his assets, which they can then present to banks, police, and other authorities, who will then turn them over directly.
The USA has it's fingers in almost every financial network in the world and Alex Jones can no longer be safe anywhere except basically crypto, bad actor countries, and I guess cash in his mattress. For the rest of his life. And he can't escape it with bankruptcy.
He'll be better off trying to get citizenship in Russia or China or something and never coming back.
Good.
Yep, good. Look at the damage he did. He'll have sufficient funds to have food and shelter. Anything beyond that he does not deserve.
How much divisiveness did he cause?
How many screaming arguments?
How many families did he break up?
How many bar room fights?
How much pain for grieving parents?
Fuck him, he's a cunt.
According to other comments here, referring to OJ's case, this is not likely to happen.
OK, point taken. He'll have sufficient funds to live a comfortable life (which is disgraceful for a bankrupt individual). But at least there's the satisfaction in knowing he won't get it all.
Apologies for the misunderstanding. I'm from the UK where it's tougher to game the bankruptcy laws and you need to lie before court.
Edit: typos
You would think he would pay, but look at OJ. Verdict to pay 30 million, and after all these years he only did 130,000.
Getting assets seized and wages garnished is not as easy as you would think.
Yeah that'strue. From what little I know OJ is allowed to make/keep enough so that he's far from destitute, but he sure hasn't don't anything redeeming since.
I guess if you know your work would lead to money that you can't keep, you'd choose to just not work.
