Alex Jones to pay $1 billion

[Anti Federalist]

I don't care what anyone think of Jones (I don't think much of him myself), but this is just farcically ridiculous:

Sandy Hook Families Seek $2.75 Trillion From Alex Jones

I'll happily donate, out of my own personal resources, a sum equal to or greater than that amount.

(Of course, there may be some exchange issues.)

I tried to up-vote but this ridiculous site and it's voting system won't let me. The US is getting their with its own currency so a $2.75T settlement might look like nothing in a couple of years.

I used to like him

Just think he turned into poison @ the end

Worse.... there are sometimes answered prayers as TRUMAN CAPOTE once noticed, and ALEX JONES might get his wish.
Problem is... he might discover that a "NEW" trial is only a DOUBLE or NOTHING BET! He either has no judgement against
him, and any dollar sum amount paid/demanded becomes zero. or he is to be hit with a 2 billion dollar figure for being
a total j@ckA$$ of a sick psychotic clown of a buffoon... AN IDIOT OF THE FIRST ORDER. NEW TRIAL = MORE PUBLICITY

Jones' lawyer should investigate whether they specify US dollars, and if not, just pay up.

I don't care what anyone think of Jones (I don't think much of him myself), but this is just farcically ridiculous:

Sandy Hook Families Seek $2.75 Trillion From Alex Jones
Jury Already Awarded Families $965 Million in Damages
Judge to Decide Damages Under State Deceptive Trade Law

Because of course it makes sense to entrust decisions on the scale of the annual US national budget to a solitary judge. Without getting into the specific messes that Alex Jones has made for himself, it is crystal-clear that this is just an attack on the first amendment. The clownish scale of these damages is specifically meant to intimidate --- it's like if you put a bunch of 1st-graders in a room and asked them what the damages should be... after a minute of various made-up numbers, eventually one of them will shout "infinity dollars!" Anyone who stands against the Beast World Order, however incompetently, must be subjected to infinite punishment. "Burn in hell!" they scream like the deranged maniacs they are.

But think of the book deal and movie rights. If he can collect from those.

That's probably why he's so unfazed. His potential earnings have rocketed

What a Country!!

Curious what is the end goal of these families? you already have a ban on Assault Weapons..

Getting rid of second amendment would be impossible consideration they would be going after the first if they manage to change the second amendment when it comes to certain laws/polices on guns/speech.

Not that i cared about Jones in the past.
However this is concerning.

These families into believing that they would be getting a billion or trillion seems a bit unrealistic.


Its like Poland demanding a Trillion Reparation from Germany.

 

[SpiritOf1776_J4]

Referring to title, I wouldn't bet on it.

I mean, I'll bet a trillion dollars on it.

Financially speaking, WW1 ended on 10/3/2010.

Sept. 29, 2010— -- Germany will make its last reparations payment for World War I on Oct. 3, settling its outstanding debt from the 1919 Versailles Treaty and quietly closing the final chapter of the conflict that shaped the 20th century.

Oct. 3, the 20th anniversary of German unification, will also mark the completion of the final chapter of World War I with the end of reparations payments 92 years after the country's defeat.

The German government will pay the last instalment of interest on foreign bonds it issued in 1924 and 1930 to raise cash to fulfil the enormous reparations demands the victorious Allies made after World War I.

Alex Jones must pay $1.1 billion of Sandy Hook damages despite bankruptcy, judge rules

Alex Jones must pay $1.1 billion of Sandy Hook damages despite bankruptcy, judge rules

https://www.reuters.com/legal/alex-jones-cant-avoid-sandy-hook-verdicts-bankruptcy-judge-2023-10-19/

By Dietrich Knauth

October 19, 20236:51 PM EDT

NEW YORK, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.

Bankruptcy can be used to wipe out debts and legal judgments, but not if they result from "willful or malicious injury" caused by the debtor, according to a decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston, Texas.

Courts in Connecticut and Texas have already ruled that Jones intentionally defamed relatives of school children killed in the mass shooting, and they have ordered Jones to pay $1.5 billion in damages.

Lopez ruled that more than $1.1 billion of those verdicts, awarded for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, cannot be wiped away in bankruptcy. But he ruled that other parts of the verdicts, including $324 million in attorneys' fees that were awarded as punitive damages in the Connecticut case, could possibly be discharged.

It was not clear whether those punitive damages were attributable to "willful" and "malicious" lies, or whether they could instead be attributed to merely "reckless" conduct, Lopez wrote. Lopez said he will hold a trial to sort out the precise amount of the damages that could be discharged.

Attorneys for Jones and the Sandy Hook families did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Jones' attorneys had argued that he had not lied and that his conduct was not malicious, saying in court papers that Jones "never said something on air that he did not believe to be true."

Jones claimed for years that the 2012 killing of 20 students and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, was staged with actors as part of a government plot to seize Americans’ guns. He has since acknowledged the shooting occurred, but plaintiffs said Jones cashed in for years off his lies about the massacre.

Jones and his media company, Free Speech Systems, filed for bankruptcy protection in December and July last year, respectively.

Jones could face two more defamation trials for plaintiffs who have not yet received a final judgment in their cases.

Lopez ruled Thursday that Jones could not escape the damages to be awarded in one of those cases because Jones has already been found liable for defaming Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, whose six-year-old son Noah was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting. Jones falsely said that Veronique De La Rosa was an actor who "faked" a CNN interview about her son's death.

Where the hell is Jones supposed to get 1.1 billion from? Is the government going to secretly provide him with that cash?

He's not.

It's designed to shut him up.

It will get worked out that failure to pay is contempt of court, and any broadcasting by him.

As soon as he opens his mouth, arrested and jailed, presumably for life, since he will never be able to pay that personally.

Failure to pay a civil judgment isn't grounds for contempt.

If Jones can find enough gullible ignoramuses to listen to him and gullible nuts to sponsor him he can continue to broadcast, but if he repeats his lies and defamations he may have additional judgments rendered against him.

My understanding of being held in contempt of civil order is the same as this counselor's:

The finding of contempt by the court, in this context (a civil case where defendant could not pay), has several required elements:
•Existence of a lawful order
•The contemnor's (the person in contempt) knowledge of the order
•The contemnor's ability to comply
•The contemnor's failure to comply
