Comment on Self sacrifice is honorable
WaxRhetorical@lemmy.world 8 hours agoYou generally can’t pursue someone for debt after a bankruptcy declaration, depending on the country. So if you’re 25M in debt, you go bankrupt and they can’t chase you for any more. You lose all your current assets, but at least you can rebuild a life. Still, rough path to choose.

That’s not how judicial fines work, they know most people don’t have that amount in the bank so there’s zero point asking for the lump sum. Their aim is to disincentivise future “vandals” by making an example out of the first one. You won’t be able to escape the payments which will be unavoidable due to bankruptcy because a portion of your wages will be garnished so that you’ll have just enough to survive but the rest you’ll be paying back for the rest of your life.
Look what’s happening to that cunt Alex Jones, he can’t escape the settlement to the Sandy Hook families by bankruptcy so he’s doing everything he can to hide his income and assets and appeal the judgement.
