KitConstantine posted:I opened the PDF of the filing. They included his name in the list of people the document was to be forwarded to, likely because he was a listed party to one of the many lawsuits against Jones - a lot of the invidual names are C/O [lawfirm name] so that's my best guess. That makes sense, especially the laziness. New Legal Eagle just dropped!

ryde posted:This is all an extremely brazen and transparent attempt to shield assets from judgement, and I hope the law is equipped to handle it. I mean, in the end it was the IRS that jailed Al Capone. Maybe I'm naive, but I'm under the impression the US government tends to go after tax evasion on such a large scale with the fury of a thousand suns. If you don't want to pay taxes, go through the same loopholes all the other rich people and corporations do

Subjunctive posted:Wait, is he evading taxes too? I thought this was just about shielding his assets from civil judgments. I'm just guessing, but basically there's no way he's been completely honest with his taxes. My gut feeling is that the IRS is going to become very interested in Jones's finances if they aren't already. Even the fanboys throwing crypto at him isn't going to help once the IRS gets curious and starts asking more questions. Plus remember that Jones is his own worst enemy, so every inquiry becomes another opportunity for him to gently caress himself over Basically I agree with everyone who thinks that this is the beginning of the end of Jones's public career. It probably won't be in a single moment, but a death by a thousand cuts. Between the lawsuits, the bankruptcy and subsequent investigation into his finances, the January 6th Committee, and his already poor health, things are only going to go downhill for him

His gimmick won't stop the IRS from collecting on said profit. There's nothing his fanboys can do about the legal and financial consequences that are coming to Jones. Remember that Jones and his team are idiots and don't know how to hide their misdeeds, and the government has won against much smarter people with competent crooked lawyers and accountants

Subjunctive posted:You don’t file your “worth” with your taxes. You’re taxed on net-of-whatever income, not assets held. He can absolutely say “I had a bunch of income but don’t have any of it left because of expenses”, since I believe that we’re talking about corporate assets for the most part. My thinking on the IRS thing is that there's going to be some sort of tax evasionish issue for Jones, just as a result of his antics. Even if he's not purposely committing some sort of tax evasion, he and/or his people hosed something up during all that transferring assets, creating shell companies, and other financial fuckery. Honest and diligent people make mistakes all the time, so imagine the kind of clusterfuck Jones's situation is

Everett False posted:Jones is part of the Christian Identity movement which asserts that most of the people currently calling themselves Jews aren't real Jews, and that the real Lost Tribes of Israel ended up in England and the United States which is why white Americans are God's real Chosen People. Therefore he can insist that "Globalist" is not a codeword for Jews (because the people he's referring to aren't really Jewish). There's regular ol' anti-Semitism, too, that never goes away

He can fall on his knees and repent on-air all day, every day, for the rest of his life, and it doesn't matter for the hearing.

The hearing is in Connecticut, where the shooting happened, and the jurors have probably been watching this all play out over the years as people in their community were victimized over and over again by Jones and his cult. Maybe in Texas you need to hammer the point repeatedly for the jurors that Jones did, in fact, do and say these things, but I feel like it's just not necessary at this point for the Connecticut jurors Plus, like it's been pointed out, arguing a foregone conclusion is just wasting everyone's time. Also subjecting people to InfoWars against their will should be a war crime

The Pirate Captain posted:Alex Jones is no criminal genius, and no one is saying he is. People are concerned about the corrupt system that tends to, especially in the past 5 years or so, let rich white people off the hook. Concern is justified and anyone who thinks it isn’t hasn’t been paying attention. Jones didn't play nice with the system, so the system is going to make an example of him. Jones isn't a big-time power player with connections, he's a belligerent rear end in a top hat no one likes who has no value to the people that run and maintain the system. He lost the usual protections given to the rich and influential by his inability to cooperate. Anyone who had an interest in defending Jones at first, has jumped ship because the man himself is impossible to defend and he's just more trouble than he's worth. This isn't a normal Rich White Guy in Trouble case, and if you keep thinking that it is, you're not paying attention

The Alex Jones Circus can, and will, go on for as long as Jones can scream into a mic, but that doesn't change that he's screwed for the rest of his life. Shooting his mouth off isn't mutually exclusive with being financially hosed forever If you mean that he's still on the air, well. Literally the only thing that will stop him from doing that is death

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

He has nothing to gain from backing Alex Jones, even anonymously, and a billion dollars is still a lot of money to a billionaire.

I'm not an expert at all, but the sheer number of disgraced and possibly debarred attorneys in the wake of these trials has to be unprecedented, right? Since no one with integrity or concerned with their reputation was willing to work for Alex Jones, it's just a cavalcade of scumbags and fools, and they're getting exposed in the most embarrassing and public way. There can't be any coming back for Martin after this, right? Even if he's not sanctioned, his reputation must be shot to hell, right? What happens to him?

Flyinglemur posted:That doesn't disprove what I was saying though. Could be that they "accidently" didn't tell them to ignore it. Jones's lawyer in that case was a combative rear end in a top hat who refused to pay the minimal professional courtesy to the other attorney. It's not actually that unusual for one side to accidentally give the other files and such, especially in a big data dump. When that happens, there's usually mutual cooperation to correct that mistake: the accidental recipient informs the accidental sender of the mistake, they do a little lawyer thing to officially get the info back, and everyone returns to their corners. Jones's lawyer, however, is a stupid dickhead, and was very antagonistic. He was also very bad at his job, and ignored the notice from Bankston about the cell phone records, because he's an rear end in a top hat. He probably was just dragging his feet to be difficult--remember that he flipped off Bankston at the end of court one day. Just super unprofessional all around, so the other side decided not to chase him down and help him fix his mistake.
