As a student who has never been allowed to discharge his student loan debts...
Why the fuck aren't there laws in place for specifically shit like this, when rich people turn to bankruptcy to avoid paying bills? My student loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy, but this kind of shit can?
Fuck that shit, bring back debtors prison for rich assholes like this.
The judgment isn't dischargeable. Hecan say bankruptcy but they'll freeze and put a lein on everything he owns. He's super fucked.
He's not super fucked yet though. He'll just pull an Alex Jones and stall as long as possible while still living the same life.
Alex Jones had a lot of people helping him hide his money, so it’s tangled up a lot more than with Giuliani. Also, Giuliani is under a hell of a lot more scrutiny than Alex Jones was or is. And the judges in Jones’s case didn’t seem to be moving as quickly as with Giuliani, who also only has the single case and single judge. I seriously doubt that Giuliani will be able to stall like Jones has been able to. I think it’s fair to say that Giuliani is far more fucked than Jones at this point.
And make no mistake. AJ will pay his dues.
Any. Day. Now....
It's only been (*checks watch) seven years since Alex Jones first defamed them, and he's whittled down the payment from $1.1 billion to $85 million...
Any day now, indeed.
Ah, but he didn't just say bankruptcy. He declared it.
It can't be. He's going to be on the hook for the rest of his life.
There are specific laws, it's called the bankruptcy code.
Technically a lot of student loans are dischargeable 5 years into repayment.
