HughFreakingDillon said:these absurd dollar amounts...how does the plaintiff collect?plaintiffs, plural. 8 families and an FBI agent. total is shocking but split individually not so shocking. Only amount I saw was 90 mil for the agent. how the rest breaks down , I don't know or haven't seen reporting on yet.as to how he pays? after whatever amount the appeal sets, he will pass the basket and find some douche way to market his "products" as a push back against the "infringement of free speech". Which is laughable, the government has done nothing to shut him up. folks with that mindset seem to think speech is consequence-free. its not. this juries judgement makes that abundantly clear.

yes, I know in this situation it's plural. I was speaking generally...if the defendant isn't a millionaire, how does a person collect a civil suit worth millions?mickeyrat said:HughFreakingDillon said:these absurd dollar amounts...how does the plaintiff collect?plaintiffs, plural. 8 families and an FBI agent. total is shocking but split individually not so shocking.

But even he, he's not a billionaire, so how does it work? I imagine they get a mere pittance of the actual total settlement.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
Every dime he’s earned since he was served with notice and everything he’s earning now, regardless of where he’s squirreled it away is subject to seizure by what eventually be a bankruptcy court and held in trust.

Jones's followers are going to send him a ton of money and guess what...the plaintiffs are not going to see a penny of the settlement (or at best, a very small fraction). Jones is going to make out like a bandit on this.
The hope, I suppose, is that this serves as a deterrent for others engaging in similar behaviors. Maybe it will. I don't think this was ever about the money for the plaintiffs. A bunch of loonies made their lives hell because a deranged jackass made them out to be the grifters. I like the message the verdict sent, but I don't know if it'll ultimately be all that meaningful.

He will live the rest of his life paying for this. He'll make a meager living but he'll be miserable.

I agree. But the right wing response is he's being punished for free speech. All the whining about twitter bans, etc. has brought out this "free speech absolutist" thing that probably takes the pro-Fire in a Crowded Theater view.tempo_n_groove said:

It made it seem as if the states drove this.Tx filings I would assume is because he/company is based there. Ct filings may have been a ploy to draw jury sympathies from localish citizens. family travel and expenese would play a role too I expect.there may be reporting on this somewhere._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

Again, CT I get. Texas and the one family there and not all of them is just weird. i tried to find an article why but nothing is coming up.
If this is the case then Jones could most likely be sued in every state?0 -

Uvalde families are suing because he’s doing the same thing to them that he did to the Newtown families and he’s doing to Parkland. Same line of attack, same disinformation and same result with his delusional followers. He will pay and anyone who donates to him, any money received will be seized and forfeited. It’ll take time but it’ll happen and that money will eventually get to the victims who filed suit. Jail will humble him when the time comes.
