People are kept in prison without a conviction, for not affording bail. Owing a thousand times the lifetime earnings of other people should at the very least mean all your accounts and holdings are frozen, and you can't spend anything without getting independent approval every time.

Welcome to the world of civil court decisions :(

If it had been a criminal defamation case, then it would be criminally enforcable... but all this really means is "a judge ruled you need to pay" and if you don't pay, then you could sue them again for not paying, and it just goes in a loop over and over again. I have a friend whose family has been in a loop like this in civil court over a bad real estate venture for decades with someone who simply ignores the rulings.

It hangs over the head of the person who did it, but in the end it's mostly just a "it's on your permanent record" kind of stain which can stop people from working with you and damage your personal life, but it's not like the kind of people who would work with Alex Jones don't know who they're working with.

There's a bankruptcy process ongoing. He's trying to trick it but is failing.

The ruling meant nothing. The guy is on the air now calling the Maui fire a false flag.

Damn, you're doing alright at least. It'd take me almost 3 years to make that

Can't wait for the roast Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffet pie!

which is why people want to be rich. it's way bigger benefit than the money.

people think about all the maga types that are 'one day millionaires'. nah, it's not about being rich for money, it's about they back a guy who does the stuff they wish they could personally do. like be rabidly racist in public without consequence

It's why these rich people back the GOP. The tax breaks are real but the consequences of social policies won't affect them when they can fly wherever, put their kids in private schools and escape any social damage.

No, no. That suggests Rich people can get in trouble for doing dumb things. Can't be having them treated like plebs?

At least trash bags have a purpose. His only purpose is to provide a gender neutral bathroom once he's in the grave.
