    How is this not enforced by the court that ordered it? It should be 30 days and you end up in prison.

      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.

    One of the people he owes millions of dollars to, Erica Lafferty, had to do a Kickstarter for a cancer treatment just so she has a better chance of not fucking dying. She still hasn’t seen a dime from Alex “I’m the Debil” Jones.

    Shout out to Knowledge Fight and the work the boys have been putting in to expose and debunk Alex Jones’ constant stream of lies.

      They somehow wrote in monthly “spousal maintenance” or similar payments in the prenup. It’s weird, but legal and enforceable in many states.

      Jones probably chooses to try and keep some money in the family by sending it to his wife. I don’t really know if there’s a debtor hierarchy for this sort of thing, but until somebody challenges it, he’s going to keep doing it.

          Shit, if I had to marry somebody repulsive, I’d want to get something out of the deal. 15k a month is doctor money.

          We obviously don’t know the ins and outs of their marriage, but this one might just not be about love.

              Not like he would marry her if she wasn’t willing to put out. People will do a lot for money.

      I’d like to see what those people spend all that money on.

      I mean I luckily don’t often have trouble making ends meet, but apart from buying a place to live in, I don’t know how they can spend that much. I currently have to spend a lot because of renovation work, but I suspect that’s not the reason. In normal times, my “big” spends would be… maybe big home appliances, or vacations (that’s a European thing)… If I went really wild, I could maybe conceive of spending… 15 000€ in a month (not that I could really afford it, but at least I could find stuff to do it).

      Beyond that, I just don’t have any ideas.
