It’s maddening that they even had to ask. Our legal system sucks.

Edit:

On Saturday, Jones was defiant, saying “At the end of the day, we’re going to beat these people. I’m not trying to be dramatic here, but it’s been a hard fight. These people hate our children.”

I can’t even.

Yes because he's the epitome of a children's advocate

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 73 points 1 year ago

Yes, but he's lost custody of his children to his first wife.

Fun fact- he couldn't remember details about his children in the hearing, and attributed that memory lapse to, and I shit you not, the fact that he had a "big bowl of chili for lunch."

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

That needs to become more widely known, both as a story and as a legal tactic: The Chili Defense

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

If they eat chili, convicting is silly!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

The man is half actually crazy and half faking crazy. Statements like that make no sense for a grift. Why not just say you're stressed?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

At the time, his lawyer argued that Jones is just a performance artist. But honestly, I think it's much more likely he's a paranoid schizophrenic. He just wholesale invents reality to be whatever he wants it to be when it's convenient for him and his grift. I honestly think he doesn't have a grasp on objective reality any longer.

Damn... You a special kind of evil

[-] [email protected] 131 points 1 year ago

I hope they take everything from him. I hope they take his fucking toothbrush. He should be left destitute and alone in a fucking hole in the ground.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

I don't want that. I want him to have safe and secure housing, with no food insecurity, medical care, and plenty of hygiene supplies.

And I want him to realize, every fucking day, that it's because the people he attacked and villianized are better than him.

[-] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago

secure housing, with no food insecurity, medical care, and plenty of hygiene supplies

So ... Prison, right? We're talking about prison?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

I mean, I didn't say he should be free to mix with civilized people, let's do some prison reform while we're here.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

1000% agree on prison reform.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That doesn't describe prison in reality, maybe in some crazy idealized world that isn't this one.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

But it could be. Think about how it could be.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It does actually in many countries and for some wealthy people in this country.

I want that too. But, since that's clearly never gonna happen as evidenced by the fact that he's sniveling about how unfair everyone's being toward him during the last of his shows, I'll settle for the first thing.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Nah. He's an asshole and wouldn't care. He'd call them suckers. I'd like to see this guy working at mcdonalds while living out of his car.

No, do not let him loose again. Lock him up in a prison so he can't hurt anyone else, and ban him from social media.

He will never realize that

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Trash like him will never realize that. No narc ever appreciates the compassion of others. They just take them for granted.

He's already working to try to hide assets and move things to his (dentist) dad's brand new supplement company.

[-] [email protected] 93 points 1 year ago

[Alex Jones] also listed his living expenses at about $69,000 for April alone

Goddamn, dude. Stop ordering DoorDash.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

He's fucking got house staff that takes care of his properties and his family.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How in the fuck does someone even spend that much a month?! Even in some crazy scenario where me and my wife eat out every single night I can only get to like $2300 monthly for restaurants. Throw another $5k (high) for mortgage, grocery, bills, etc doesn't put me anywhere close. Hell, if you stayed at a hotel for 30 nights at even $200 a night that's only $6k. Lots of hookers and drugs?

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

I did a little digging - here’s something reported to the court:

“His July spending included $7,900 on housekeeping, $15,184 in prenuptial payments to his wife, $6,302 in maintenance and taxes for his vacation lake house, and $6,338 on meals and entertainment, according to court papers.”

Dude needs to get YNAB… or just cut back on the avocado toast.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

The lake house and lavish entertainment budget need to be given to the victims of his despicable conduct tho.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup, and once those are sold he can keep giving the $6K monthly payments going to them. Sounds like he needs a $200 vacuum cleaner too, then he’s got another $7k to send the victims.

Edit: flipped the numbers.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

The majority is going toward his prenup. Good on his now ex-wife and her attorney.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

You're not thinking big enough.

  • Fuck eating out, hire a private chef.
  • 5k mortgage? Rich people have multiple houses at that price or more.
  • $200/night for a hotel, try 1200.

I'm not saying it's wise or prudent, but it's definitely possible to get there if you are behaving like a rich person.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Stop being so mean! Cocaine is expensive, ok?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

This guy's veins are at 1,000 PSI from all the cocaine he's snorting, that's one large expense you don't have.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

He's trying to either get and hide or waste as much of his money as possible so that other people can't have it. He's already tried a ton of shady shit in the bankruptcy hearing (including somehow getting a massive bill from one of his father's shell companies), so it wouldn't surprise me if he's pulling shit like that.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The most I can manage is a mean of $10k/mo.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

$5k a month right now is like a $900,000 house, which is a lot for the vast majority of people, but very low for rich people.

Shoulda been done at the start

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

One can hope

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Just gonna drop a bright spot on you today: if you don't, listen to Knowledge Fight on your podcast app of choice. I'm sure this + Alex's weekend broadcast are gonna make this week's episodes spicy.

Also, if you're already familiar with KF, I wanna plug Kudos who does little animated shorts from various KF episodes.

100% take these morons down

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Liquidation meaning sell all the office furniture, or make him an employee of his own business that got sold to the highest bidder with his wages garnished?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Closing down the business entirely, selling off all it's assets, with claimants and creditors getting first dibs on cash.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

with claimants and creditors getting first dibs on cash.

And with any luck, Jones' parents wont get a cent of it before the lawsuit is paid out.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I'm wiling to pay 100 bucks for his subscriber list. Does anyone know anything about fund raising for cult reprogramming?
