Until he's living in a broken trailer eating his own shit, it wont be enough.

The only ones that’ll see a dime of it are the attorneys, get real.

They're not seeing a dime off of it, though.

I just know it.

Dildo. Consequences. No lube.
DJOldguy
Deserves eveything he gets and if he can't pay then he should be banned from ever getting access to mass audience again!
BrokenAnimal
Imagine being such a dick on TV that it costs you 1,4 billion dollars.
richmondrosemead0
He’ll be provided with the finest finance experts who’ll make it impossible to collect a dime. I’ll bet he pays nothing.
RancidSebastian
If he wasn't such an unapologetic dick, they might have only fined him a total of $900 million, but no, he's an unapologetic dick
Vengeraxe
Meh, might have well fined him 1 trillion, he aint gonna pay it, somehow will be broke. Meaningless punishment.
DrGIN
Oh no! He was going to spend that money on a shirt that fits!
TheMayo16
I get that he needs to pay, but how are they quantifying 1.4 billion? How many people is this being split between?
TheMayo16
Somebody please help me understand a little better without being a dick, i know he needs to pay, but why is it necessary to take everything?
TheMayo16
How many people is this 1.4 billion being split up between? Is it $10M per person? How do you put a price on suffering?
TheMayo16
If this is about ruining alex and not people being opportunistically greedy, then most of that money should go to...
TheMayo16
...a charity for victims of all shootings; therapy, medical bills, funerals, everything
TepHaST5Basa
The nice thing about this is Bankruptcy does not protect one from Punitive damages.
Johwin
I'm sure he will comply with the order

TheLastKingOfSomewhere
If he doesn’t, he’ll presumably be doing jail time instead
pamalone599000
It'll drag on forever!!
DapperDeal
That’s not how that works. You don’t have to pay 1.4B cash or go to jail. A lot of other assets and bankruptcy options.
DapperDeal
Today he filed for bankruptcy. Told you. He is going to find a way to pay back very little.
Johwin
The rich dont go to jail
LAMovieDesign
Lol. Rich people go to jail all the time.
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
Sometimes they do, for a grueling and life changing time of "A few days)
Alfonze423
What's with all those notifications, OP? Don't we crop anymore? Get on wifi & save your data!
kingkongkeom
Its absolutely astonishing that he might actually have anything close to what he is ordered to pay. How fuckjng stupid are his supporters?
KittenVonCatsworth
At one point a over the last couple of years, Infowars was making over a million dollars a DAY. It's horrifying.
DisgruntledFerret
Have you ever listened to InfoWars?
kingkongkeom
Not once.
oilypenguintoo
if you want to know how bad it is, this is a wonderful podcast https://knowledgefight.com/

I'd love to see this mad cunt homeless. Take everything he's got. The shit he spewed about Sandy Hook was disgusting. He deserves zero

Don't stop, get it get it.

"During the Texas trial, an economist who testified for the parents estimated Jones' worth between $135 and $270 million." From /1

From some less than reputable source but yeah looks like those families might actually get some money :D

I just hope they haven't closed the barn door after the cows have fled, or however that saying goes.
pablozzyzzk
Alex Jones has $1.4B? How's that? If he does, though, the award should have been every last penny.
anotherIngloriousHandle
it’s not about whether he has it. instead, it’s about making him work his fucking ass off the rest of his miserable life to pay his debt
georgedragonslayer
He isn't going to do that. Best we can hope for is he goes to jail for the rest of his miserable little life.
anotherIngloriousHandle
but that’s the purpose of punitive damages — to be set high enough to really hurt. if it merely gives him a haircut, then not enough
georgedragonslayer
But don't you think it is a bit divisive to go after his loved* ones like that? /s Loved ones is money. Just to clarify. If you had a doubt.
georgedragonslayer
I was laughing at the $473M and "punitive". I know what punitive is. I, someone, always associated it with pewny.
anotherIngloriousHandle
you can’t have it both ways
djangojazz
He's still on the air, so.... WTF America? What are we doing here? Just making rulings up that never have to be followed if you are rich?
georgedragonslayer
That sums it up pretty succinctly.
MrWobblyHead
I thought he was only online these days. On his own site, not on TV. Can't do much to take him down on there unless the site host drops him.
djangojazz
That's the point, you can't do anything. The thing he did bad, didn't get caught for a decade and he is still there promoting hate.
TheRedactedTaco
Is it wrong that I sort of hope he puts a gun in his own mouth…

If they overdo it he’ll declare bankruptcy and they’ll get fuckall.

The way I understand it even during bankruptcy they can take his stuff (boats, cars etc.) Until pain

dazergolf
well, does this creature even have that much currency?
stayingalive4life
My assumption is that the families knows they’ll never get all of that money from him - not that they don’t deserve it. But having the
stayingalive4life
satisfaction of knowing he’ll never be able to recover and perpetually under this burden is enough to hold him accountable to a degree.
Iusethisreallylongusernamebecauseihavenocluewhatusernametouse
Honestly this is the most amazing example of the justice system. It's not about the money.
Iusethisreallylongusernamebecauseihavenocluewhatusernametouse
It's about destroying any chance he has of every spreading those lies again. Seriously shocking that our system actually delivered justice.
cabalin
You’d be surprised how much Christians will pay for his hateful bullshit
Fishy820
I am sure revenue from crap info wars and all the witch dr meds he was selling he can find it
Baconman16
His loyal fan base will always buy into the shit he’s selling and send him money.
Mewlies
That is his actual strategy to convince his fanbase he is the victim and to send him donations to bail him out.
MrWobblyHead
Maybe a judgement amount that high allows for him to be taken for everything he's got. To try and fulfil as much of it as possible.
CityYeti
Lol no, it's not gonna stop him, though. He'll never learn
NekoKamiGuru
If he doesn't have that kind of money then they can't confiscate it.
cosonfused
no, and they'll never will get that much. it's more symbolic than anything. but he's gonna have to pay A LOT regardless.
hoehandleharry20500
Because greed. Advertising revenue from scum corporations and donations from stupid people
BossVarriack
From what I could find he has maybe 2 mil and 5 homes valued around 7.5 mil (source was forbes) so I am a little confused how they 1/2
BossVarriack
Expect the dickwad to pay the victims. I was having some difficulty finding more due to the million and one news articles... 2/2
DontTazeMeBrah
DapperDeal
He won’t be paying 1.4B. He’ll liquidate, sell assets, bankruptcy or any number of things to drive that number down.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
You generally can't skirt restitution through bankruptcy.
Kehy
He's been trying, but already slipped up a few times and the courts have caught onto a fair bit of his bullshit
search4bigfoot
That's the thing. This ruling feels good, but it's unlikely they'll collect much if any of it.
search4bigfoot
Wealthy defendants like this find all kinds of ways to drag things out and weasel out of paying.
LespritDeLescalier22
They should force him to donate his blood (to the trash can) daily for the rest of his life
only90skidswillgetthis
Calm down, Hammurabi
ExtremeCowEnthusiast
He was amking like 800k a day during the entire thing. Thats on top of his already fabulous wealth
loma45
At 800k a day, it would still take 5 years to make 1.4B. That's if it was sustained, and all put somewhere safe and not spent. There's no 1/
loma45
chance AJ can pony up that kind of cash. 2/2
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
Blood in the water now. Sure to be a frenzy soon.
HUGHgReaction
As long as they can take everything he has, everything he has hidden and anything he makes in the future it is a huge win for all.
euphoricopportunity
I hope they pierce the corporate veil for all those shell companies he set up. "Why, yes, my parents own the company that I owe millions".
OmnipotentBeing
Shake that MOFO until they get every last penny.
HIVp0sit1ve69
Those families should also get a pound of flesh.

OmnipotentBeing
I don't care, so long as I get to step over Alex Jones someday, as he lies homeless in the gutter on Skid Row in LA.
RoyalWithChz
Well, he lives in Austin, so I’ll let you know if I see him under the 35 bridge.
OmnipotentBeing
Give him a dollar so he can buy a cheap taco at taco bell.
knittingmachine
Yeah, a judgment is great, but you still have to be able to collect
AeroEngineer
Guarantee none of them care if they collect anything, as long as he is left broken, penniless, and ruined.
PimpinKen
Court order to not move your assets outside the US. If he doesn't have that much he will be broke
knittingmachine
True, it helps. But the plaintiffs still have to collect. If he isn't liquid, they'll have to lie assets and wait, etc. Judgments are only

Good for 10 years IIRC from school
