He'll be fine, he shouldn't be worried as long as he's as hard of a worker as he expects us to be, he should still have plenty of money left over.

He can't even earn any serious money anymore since he was cancelled, which underscores the real reason behind this ludicrous verdict.

@Nixeu42 5 месяцев назад

I know, right? Dude apparently wants to be a martyr for his cause...without actually suffering even minor inconvenience for said cause. I'm sure his followers would say something about how that would be letting the system win and stifle his voice or whatever nonsense. But the truth is, Jones could just lose it all and start over from the ground up. He's not going to jail, and he's not getting executed. Nothing is stopping him from going bankrupt, paying his debts, and then starting Infowars 2: Electric Boogaloo. Nothing. If the cause is all he's interested in, he would let himself become an example of how the government is corrupt. King did it. Gandhi did it. Lots of people have done it, and suffered far worse than losing a fortune. But Alex Jones, quite frankly, doesn't have the backbone to stand by his words. He doesn't have the courage to stick to his story under pressure. He tries to weasel out of responsibility every time. I'm just gonna come out and say it: the dude's a coward. He wants to be able to stand up to authority, but he can't do it when face-to-face with authority. Or when he's faced with the people he harmed with his lies, for that matter. He can only do it when he's tucked away safe in his studio. And that, honestly, is really what disgusts me about Alex Jones.

@@reverse_engineered well for that and for the fact that incongruent rulings would create a disastrous situation for American law.

It's a whole third beast to have separate equally ranked courts producing mutually distinct legal precedents in identical situations, forget about the individual parties, that would just shatter the fabric of law in any remotely gray scenarios. At that point every court is judge Judy- probably still a very very high level expert on law, but ultimately can just throw the book out the window and arbitrate at their own discretion and do pretty much whatever they want, since hey, you can point to a different case that produced either result as an interpretation of law no matter what. And hey, that's allowed if parties agree. But probably shouldn't be the norm in the governments civil court, there's no room for the judicial branch to have that level of ambiguity. Both sides getting one bite at the apple, and having to elevate the case to specifically designed higher courts, is unheralded genius.

Bc most of his assets are actually in his Parent’s name, not his. He transferred many assets/portions of his business into their name around the time the lawsuits were going south. Idk if that is a full proof way to keep the government from seizing it, but it definitely makes it more complicated and time consuming. But it is a common way fraudsters and crooks protect their assets, especially real estate. They often purchase property, but immediately set it up in a trust in a family member’s name. Therefore, legally, its not their’s, and therefore can’t be seized in situations like this. I think the only way the assets could be seized is if the government was able to prove that the defendant did this willingly and knowingly in order to hide their assets to keep them from the government, but that would be almost impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

Normally this would be conducted through an appeal of the verdict and may yet come to that. But for now Jones tried to weasel (disqualify) himself out of the match by way of a bankruptcy write off.

@erikdayne5429 7 месяцев назад

He should face jail time for harassment and inflicting undue emotional duress during a crisis. Those people had to deal with the unimaginable loss of losing a child and then to become targets from this psychopath during that time is one of the most inhumane things I have ever seen. He should be punished, what he did was arguably worse than punching them in the face. If I was mourning the loss of my child I would rather get punched in the face than have someone publicly disrespect and dishonor their memory.

It's not "fascism" or "arbitrary summary judgement" to say that you can't just keep appealing a judgement and delaying responses in ongoing trials forever.

You can blame the assholes who racked up huge college debts and then declared bankruptcy to get out of it right after graduation, before that law was passed. Many, unsurprisingly, were lawyers. That is why a lot of aggravating laws exist: without them, something even worse might happen. It is usually considered better to have functioning colleges than to have them all go under because of stupid legal BS like that.

@seanmorgan1759 7 месяцев назад

For anyone on the fence about the default judgement and whether or not Jones had an opportunity to defend himself: _Three separate times_ in succession, when Free Speech Systems (his company) was required to send a corporate representative to answer question, the person literally had no idea what they were there for and were unable to answer any of the questions in deposition. The judge then gave very specific orders about what the corporate representative should be able to answer with definitive "yes, no, or we don't know" (as opposed to "I guess" or "maybe" ones) and _two more times_ their representative came in and gave essentially the same answers. He had every opportunity to defend himself. He just chose not to, because he thought that stonewalling and refusing to participate would get him out of trouble. As it turns out, the legal system doesn't like it when you try and end-run around things and he got his ass kicked for it.

Well, the Constitution is supposed to protect against cruel and unusual punishments as well as excessive fines. If 1.5 billion dollars isn't excessive, cruel, and unusual to you then you either can't even comprehend that number properly or you're so biased that you can't see past it. How exactly do you rectify that in your mind, that the damage to these families was to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars, which there is absolutely zero chance that Jones has, has ever had, or will ever have anything nearing that amount. Let's not forget judges sidestepping the legal caps on punitive damages just for Jones' case, this is jot unusual and unfair treatment? To just unilaterally disregard the legal limit on punitive damages for one specific person?

@stephentorrey8727 7 месяцев назад

My first trial was a two-day adversarial trial in Bankruptcy Court regarding a Ponzi scheme (the fraud exception to bankruptcy discharge, and also Dodd-Frank). After two days of testimony, the Bankruptcy Judge decided not to decide. And became hostile when we asked for clarification. Since Bankruptcy Judges are not Article III judges, the appeal is to U.S. District Court where the District Court Judge quipped, "so basically you are saying the Bankruptcy Judge punted the ball down the street for the State court to decide?" If the Bankruptcy Judge was not going to decide, why did we have witnesses on the stand testifying for two days?

@reverse_engineered 7 месяцев назад

As an expert, sometimes you face situations that you aren't qualified to deal with. Perhaps, as more information came to light, they realized this was beyond their expertise and needed to be handled by a more appropriate court. After all, this was a bankruptcy court, not a criminal court. If they had to decide something about the criminal act, then it would make sense to defer that decision to a criminal court.
