Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.
Maybe the death threats from his fans and having to go into hiding because of his rhetoric bumped up price. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m sure there were many parents in the jury that have had enough of the bullshit.
Death threats are illegal, but Alex Jones did not make the death threats. Does he share some responsibility? probably. But he was not the one making death threats and did not instruct his followers to make them. That changes it from “intent” to just being irresponsible.

it’s not clear what you are arguing for. the fines and judgments against Jones are payable. he has assets. he’s just a baby.
He does not have 1b.

Civil courts are not meant to use their ability to charge damages as a form of lifelong punishment.
