Well good thing these aren’t Nazis, these are right wing fashy blowhards. Similar in the ways M&Ms and Skittles are, but a certain distinctive flavor. Regardless, I’m not supposed to be pushing buttons for a few days more, self-imposed, so don’t break my tranquility with your doomy sniping. Give me inner peace or I’ll mop the floor with ya

The world does not operate with the time proportions you may have come to expect from marinating in the internet. There's what you see & hear with your own eyes and ears, and there's proof in law. Even after judgement, these things take time. Criminal court tests have a higher bar, so compiling an overwhelming preponderance of evidence that satisfies legal challenges takes even longer.

Alkydere posted:So what you're saying is that it's going to be long, drawn out and he's going to start freaking out at multiple points for us to savor it? Yeah. Opening Arguments also talked about it and the lawyer on that says he's turbofucked. There's no way out of this judgment. He can appeal, but the appeal: a) Will fail, the only real grounds that could work is saying the penalty numbers are arbitrary but the fact that they're so specific to each victim shows that wasn't the case. b) Doesn't stop him having to pay out while it's in process. In order to do something with that he would have to post a bond, which would be at least 10% of the judgement, possibly higher since it's so big. Jones has money but it's pretty unlikely he has $96.5 million in cash just sitting around. It'll still take a while to go through everything and get to the pay up point, but I'm inclined to trust the actual lawyer on it since I am not one. So lots of time to enjoy his suffering. Also said that yes, at this point anyone buying dick pills from Infowars is basically just giving money directly to the victims.

So what are the mile markers on this long agonizing road of Jones paying nearly a billion dollars after this judgement? Jones' ego suffering is nice and all, but let's talk about the actual money going from Jones to the families he haunted and hounded for nearly a decade.

Foo Diddley posted:alex jones got sued for a billion dollars for saying sandy hook was a hoax, and he's paid $0 and is on the air saying sandy hook was a hoax How fast do you expect this process to go? Nobody would be able to just pay almost a billion dollars in cash in a couple days, not even actual billionaires. Nobody rich keeps that much liquid money just hanging out, their wealth is in stocks and property and things that make up their monetary value This is the beginning of the end of Alex Jones. There won't be one single, decisive moment that will be The End, though. It's going to be a death by a thousand cuts: a prolonged affair of devastating wounds afflicted upon him while he suffers and flails. Remember his bad health, his bankruptcy, his marriage is probably on the rocks now that his wife knows he sent her naked pictures to Roger Stone, and there's the possibility that the Jan 6th committee has some questions for him This is going to be a long, drawn out process, and we'll get to watch it happen

Jones' ego suffering is nice and all, but let's talk about the actual money going from Jones to the families he haunted and hounded for nearly a decade. it'll probably take a while among other things, much of his money is currently locked up in bankruptcy court, which is still busy investigating various avenues he might have used to siphon off funds and even once that's done, there's the fact that he already owes more money than he has and there's still more lawsuits open against him. in the end the courts will have to decide how to split up his assets between his numerous creditors, decide who takes priority, etc it'll be a while

Nobody rich keeps that much liquid money just hanging out, their wealth is in stocks and property and things that make up their monetary value I think this disconnect is the crux between doomscrollers and shitposters for this aspect of the topic at hand. Jones hosed around and got summary judgement against him. Okay, fine. Check. Jones continued to gently caress around and got nearly a billion dollars in liability assigned against him as the judgement. Okay, fine. Check. I think folks kinda get that this is gonna be a long and drawn out resolution. But I think people want to know what's the first checkpoint where, if Jones further continues to gently caress around, he is really hit with the Poor Man's Hammer and treated like any other tax dodger or alimony and child support skipper?

I just hope we get some juicy, juicy soundbites when Jones has it start sinking in, even for a few minutes or hours on camera. I'm sure he'll be back to normal quick enough...until the next time reality penetrates his thick skull for a few minutes (again hopefully on a hot mic)

Honestly, I'm expecting him to double down on the drinking and stress eating and it's going to be a race between the process catching up with him and him doing a Breitbart and dropping dead.

Alex Jones wasn't immediately executed after losing his entire fortune, in a court case that explicitly isn't over yet. Therefore, nothing matters. Seriously gently caress OFF with this nothing matters cynicism. The mattering already happened. This trial was the mattering. He lost. Just because the results aren't immediate doesn't mean they don't exist. Nelson Mandingo fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Oct 15, 2022 |
