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

It's pretty clear, he doesn't have that kind of scratch and I think there are still lawsuits from the voting machine companies.

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.
