      US courts are generally very willing to seize your assets or garnish your wages if you don’t pay up for damages

      In NY, they started getting seriously ready to sell his properties if he didn’t pay up for his civil fraud penalty (he ended up finding a loan)

        Unless you’re rich, white, and far right.

        Remember almost two years ago when we all celebrated Alex Jones having to pay almost a billion and a half to the Sandy Hook families?

        He has yet to pay them a single cent

        A loan for WAY, WAY less than what he was required to turn over.

        Nobody would give him a loan for the full amount, so he was given a sweetheart deal so he wouldn’t actually have to spend any of his own money on the appeals.
