God how I hope it's true. I hope they take his cars, they take his home, literally everything this man owns. He deserves it. He knew exactly what the fuck he was doing, and now the feds have come to collect. He had plenty of chances, hundreds of chances to prevent this.
The judgments against him were in state court, the federal government isn't involved at all, that's just Alex Jones being insane.
He isn't insane. He is a conman. His chumps are insane.
He is an insane conman. He blamed a bowl of chili for not remembering basic facts about his children during his custody trial and behaved pretty insane during the defamation trials, too. He is great at dialing up the theatrics on his show to bring in the money, but he is also downright crazy.
Not gonna say he’s not a conman, but he’s also clearly not well
He's shifting all the money that his scumbag supporters still give him over to his Dad's company, I guess at some point he'll just fold Infowars, and from then on become an "employee" of that company and continue as if nothing happened. I'm not sure why it's even possible that he can still amass riches while owing 1.5 billion, but that's the US for you.
Limited liability is a massive scam. It is supposed to protect people from honest mistakes while doing business. Instead it allows con men to shield their massive hoards of wealth from legal repercussions of deliberate fraud and wage theft.
