Christ, what an asshole
Shit, that’s probably more than he was making before Sandy Hook happened.
Gee, me too! With his money and that proposed salary, I could retire.
I doubt the judge will buy it, but that won’t stop Jones from grifting right to the end.
“What’s the minimum I can earn in a year, and still be able to physically and socially separate myself from the people I scam?”
Judge: Divided over a five year bankruptcy plan?
This seems pretty on-brand for Mr. Jones. If he wasn’t the kind of guy who would have the gall to do this, he probably wouldn’t be in the position of needing to do it.
It’s what he does best.
His contempt for the entire justice system, his victims and humanity in general is absolute. No remorse, no respect, not even an acknowledgment that he might be in real trouble or be guilty of actual wrongdoing. He thinks he’s invincible. Clean. Him. Out. Take every penny, and then throw him in jail for good measure.
Hypothetically (ahem) why don’t we extradite him to a country that has -real- debtor’s prisons?
Yeah, I don’t know how law really works, but the above is a more diplomatic way of saying what my emotions want to do…
Humans are the worst.
Or, and hear me out….
I mean, will it shut him up?
No. No it won’t. Such shameless audacity is a sign of immortality.
The problem is that, since all of his income is now coming from shilling supplements for a company that he signed over to his father, he has put the courts in the position of “If I don’t make enough I’ll just stop selling them and then nobody gets anything”.
Literal fiscal blackmail, on top of all of his other bs.
I really don’t want to think about what he’s doing in that video…
Trickle-down damages.
