Alex Jones must pay $965 million in damages to numerous families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting for falsely claiming they were actors who faked the tragedy, a Connecticut jury said on Wednesday, marking the second multimillion-dollar verdict against the conspiracy theorist in just over two months.
This is good and cool, but I can't help being a little upset that only small fry like Alex Jones can get appropriate, proportional fines for their crimes. When's the last time you saw a corporation outside China get a fine proportioned this high against their profit?
Bernie Madoff was put in jail for life but he was a scapegoat for fucking over rich people. Aside from that, never. Thousands, if not, millions of people have died or gotten injured or sick from defective products and no one cares.
Or people dying from price gouging on functional products. Like Bernie Madoff, you only get locked up as a rich guy for fucking over other rich guys. Martin Shkreli never went to prison for jacking a cancer treatment prescription price by 5000%, he only went to prison for securities fraud. And it's only for a couple years
He's already out.
fuck me, that sucks
He scammed a bunch of crypto bros and claimed he got hacked as soon as he got out.
He also started his crypto grift literally a day or two out of prison
he has recently been streaming fortnite for roughly 50 people max
Never thought I'd hit that square on the 2022 bingo but here we are
lol.
let them fight
:rat-salute-2: :rat-salute:
He went to prison for being the most honest scumbag.
They all do it.
He just said “I’m going mask off because I can, it’s legal and fine in America. “
In a better world, we would have made it illegal. Instead everyone focused on him. He was punished for being honest.
