Something that bugs me is that one of the families offered Jones a substantially lower payout (like $70M?) and he refused. Does he know something we don't or would he rather drag himself through courts endlessly rather than admit defeat? I can't help but get the feeling this is his way of tormenting the families.

I think it's partially that, partially that he thought himself invincible, partially that he's an idiot.

I'm catching up on back episodes of KF before I see it live. Right now I'm on #364, covering April 21-22, 2013. After the Boston bombing, Alex flat-out says that if his community were given a stay-at-home request (not even an order!) he'd break it because you can't tell him what to do.

He's a petulant man-child.

If he really does have oppositional defiance disorder (I'm not a psych, but have family members with it and narcissism/BPD) then you can't really analyze his actions through a lense of logic or utility. To a person with ODD, defiance is the point and principle; there are no consequences they won't suffer to tell someone no.

Legit followup question for your friend. Can the conservator/ bankruptcy court not stop him from doing further crimes with the things they're looking over?

I got an answer today: "I don't know, I'm not doing research to look it up."

Tough, but fair.
