    Once you reach a certain level of wealthy, you literally cannot die poor. Sadly this isn’t the movie trading places. Billionaires don’t go fully broke, they’re always allowed to keep a certain level of wealth forever after

      I agree with you. Just a note, though; Alex isn’t a billionaire. Even the plaintiff’s lawyers estimated his wealth at only “as much as $270M”. It still makes me sad to realize how many people he grifted, defamed, and otherwise harmed to make that much money…

      Well ya super rich people designed the entire legal system in the US specifically to protect themselves from ever have to face any real consequences for their crimes. You dont have to look much further than Donald J Trump to see how thats working.

        We never brought them to the guillotines in the US.

        So they think they can do whatever they want.

        Europe still remembers, but they are slowly forgetting too.

        Might be time for another culling.

      Jones definitely isn’t a billionaire. He owns a glorified YouTube Channel that sells supplements and brain pills. Hopefully he is toast.
