That’s concerning because it means he can keep doing something he’s clearly excellent at—losing court cases—and potentially gum up the process indefinitely.

Not indefinitely. It's not like he can just counter the bankruptcy ruling by filing for bankruptcy again. There's only so long he can really drag things out; sooner or later, those chickens are going to come home to roost.

You're making the same mistake that people made when they were predicting that Elon Musk was going to worm his way out of buying Twitter. Having a lot of money helps a lot with most legal troubles, but there's a whole lineup of laws and legal constructs designed specifically to deal with wealthy businessmen who might try to screw over their fellow wealthy businessmen. Those laws generally have some level of "you can't just buy your way out of commitments or consequences" baked in somehow, for obvious practical reasons, and that means the usual bullshit won't work nearly as well.

Jones filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the Rich People flavor of bankruptcy reserved for big businesses and mega-rich people who somehow managed to get themselves into massive debt. That's the same flavor of bankruptcy used for carving up companies worth tens of billions of dollars, such as failed megabanks, dying airlines, collapsing car companies, and Enron. That's not something you can just put on hold forever by spending a few million bucks.

But no one’s ever been as good at losing lawsuits as him. We are beyond the realm of precedent; for all we know he’s going to lose his next lawsuit so hard it causes a wraparound error and he becomes the judge.

More seriously, I want to see what the total count is on how many lawyers he goes through by the time things are done. I think he’s up to 24 as of last week, not all at the same time, some overlapping, but mostly coming onto the case and then leaving and being replaced.

I would tell him he has to fact check every single claim prior to going on air, with citations. Must use peer reviewed articles from pre-approved journals.

Bankruptcy courts are not in the business of dispensing justice.

In this case, and perhaps only this case, that is a good thing.

I disagree. Jones should be left destitute and living under a bridge like the awful troll of a lovely person he is.

That's more or less what he has been for a very long time now. He doesn't seem capable of caring or positivity. Every moment he is alive, at least from the look of him, is just a lonely, miserable state of agony. Just filled with dread and hatred and paranoia.

Actually yes, I would like to have this be a part of the punishment.

pseudanonymous posted:

Honestly the process is giving him a lot of opportunities to commit fraud and perjury and wire-fraud and he's probably doing so, and giving him time to frantically try to hide his money while simultaneously ignoring what his accountants and lawyers say is somewhat analogous to a 0-11 soccer match somehow going into overtime, it's more time for him to score own goals. There may well be a criminal referral coming out of this whole thing too.

Things that the law has shown that it gives any poo poo about whatsoever in the slightest from him, yes, those things will definitely happen, certainly. Especially the perjury, the crime that definitely gets prosecuted.
