This is wonderful news, can't wait to hear what Dan and Jordan from Knowledge Fight move onto next

Alex will make a new platform.

That is highly likely what Jones will do, unfortunately.

As well as hide his income behind all kinds of shell corporations

The shell corps don’t protect in this case

Yeah they do. The fact that the company structure is deliberately set up to hide who owns what is one of the main impediments to carrying out the sentence.

They can't take something that belongs to a shell corp that he's not listed as the sole owner of until they prove that he de facto is, and a lot of it is registered in his parents' name for that exact fraudulent purpose.

I'm saying for his next disinformation show

Have you seen how dumb his shell companies are? Like how he says on air he's shipping his product to his dad's warehouse but that are totally not related companies

:woot: !! Every step closer to poverty is a victory!

His organs have some value too right? I mean not much I admit. But sell his kidneys and liver.

and liver.

Nah his liver's gotta be worthless. If you listen to the Knowledge Fight podcast (which does a great job of debunking Alex and Infowars) you'll notice pretty quickly that Alex clearly hasn't been sober for more than 24 hours at a time in years. He's a raging alcoholic.

I’m sure some research scientist somewhere would offer $0.25 for it.

Unfortunately there are hundreds of thousands of them in that condition....

Not going to achieve anything. Everything has already been moved to banned.video under a new name. All income goes to his dad's business too, so again, not impacted

The loss of his entire studio and all of his trademarks is going to have a huge impact on his ability to succeed moving forward. Starting a new show on a fringe platform with no budget is honestly quite desperate. His best path to success is to try to ride a wave of victimhood, and he can't do that without once again spreading lies about the Sandy Hook families, so he either needs to find a new angle, or he's diving headfirst into another lawsuit that he will absolutely lose.
