    Okay I don’t want to be cliche… But if they get paid 1/10th of that money I’ll eat my hat*

    • it’s a figure of speech. I’ll not pay up fyi

        He claims not to have that kind of scratch.

        I’m skeptical there isn’t a lot that’s hidden, protected, in someone else’s name, etc.

        And even if he had it, I’m expecting an Alex Jones situation where he’s able to avoid paying a ridiculous amount.

        Still, I’m hopefull they’ll at least be able to get a million each or something. And if Rudy G really does have to live a broke life from here on out, that’d be great.

        Edit:. Also, there is like zero chance that a guy made as much money as he did, and hung around the crowd he did, and didn’t hide a bunch of it.

          So the courts just need to keep taking things away.

          He’s seen in a new fancy suit, court approaches and makes him take it off and put on a burlap sack.

          He’s seen dining at a nice restaurant, the court barges in and takes the steak away and replaces it with government cheese.

          He tries to board a flight in first class, court automatically changes his seat to a aisle seat next to a screaming baby.

          He shall have no luxury.

            Can we form a special agency whose entire purpose is to enforce poverty and shame unto rich people who haven’t paid civil judgements like this? Make a TV show from bodycam footage and it will be a net-zero agency, probably fairly profitable.

    It was a pretty sad day watching those two testify about the death threats they received because they passed a tic tac.

    $148 million is a nice ending to that story.

        Liquidate his estate, sell off all his assets and drain all his accounts. Any money he makes or gets access to can go to paying the remaining balance. He can keep enough money to be at the federal poverty line. Pissed that Alex Jones gets 100k a month while “bankrupt”. Fuck that shit, you were horrible, and you have no right to live a cush life with the money you made from taking away peace and closure from others.

        I can’t speak for them, but ruining his remaining life as punishment for ruining theirs seems just.

    $16,171,000 to Freeman in compensatory damages for defamation;

    $16,998,000 for Moss in compensatory damages for defamation;

    $20 million each, or $40 million total, in compensatory damages for emotional distress;

    $75 million in punitive damages for both

    Interesting that they determined that he damaged Moss more than Freeman. Maybe one of them got more ugly threats than the other.

      Knowing very little of the facts, maybe it’s because Moss is younger and will be missing out on more income, since neither of them can get a job anymore. But that’s just my uneducated guess for the difference.
