Literally pennies on the dollar.
His house in Austin, that he bought for a couple million dollars, he sold to his wife in 2022 for the grand total of ten dollars. They're going to claw that back from him for trying to hide it. And then they're going to force him to sell it because Texas bankruptcy law only keeps your house in a city or town safe from bankruptcy seizure if it's one acre or less. And the lot his house is on is 1.089 acres - such a shame!
What's the difference between 1.5 billion and 5.5 million? About 1.5 billion.
Or in this case, the difference between 1.5B and 55M.
It's for all intents and purposes the same size difference
I thought it was "intensive porpoises"
No it's "incense and porcupines"
5.5M/yr over 10 years is 55M
Which is still 3.7% of $1500M judgment $55M offered
quick maths.
I"m now trying to figure out holsters for operands to be the quickest maths in the west
Why did you omit the part where they didn't accept that plan? Those ellipses did some heavy lifting.
It really is the best part, because he's trying to weasel out of it saying "if you want money I've got to keep the machine running to make more" but the families holding him accountable are setting his everything on fire telling him it was never about the money, and that's awesome. He was hoping greed would save his ass but here he is in the hands of people who want real justice - the dismantling of the very machine he used to do harm.
I wonder if his assets include infowars? Would be another nail in coffin of his hopes if the families gave it to the knowledge fight guys. Funny as fuck, too.
Assuming no one else comes in and finances a new platform for him. I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen.
Also there may be state specific differences, but the transfer of his assets to his wife only is called a "fraudulent conveyance" and is still able to be obtained to the debtors. Also it was a dick move and requires more lawyers.
