    He’s trying to get his assets locked by the bankruptcy trial so they can’t be sold off to pay his debt to the Georgia poll workers.

      Pretty sure various law types have said that you can’t do that for defamation.

        He’s certainly not helping himself by further defaming them after trial. You can discharge legal fees in most cases, just not for malicious acts.

      He’s got money. I’d wager he’s hiding it, but not quite well enough that a good bankruptcy judge won’t notice.

        I mean, he made $100+m. Seems unlikely to me that someone would make that much, hang out with the people he did, without paying someone to hide a bunch of it really well.
