Somehow I doubt he has 1.5B in personal assets. And will be happy when he is pennyless, and separated from infowars, as well.
He probably won't be pennyless. People like this have offshore accounts and untraceable currency. But if he ever shows an inkling of having wealth after all this, then that's an opportunity to claim more assets.
He will need to leave the country. And be an illegal immigrant somewhere, living in relative secrecy.
Victor Orban might take him in
If he can manage to win another election. This hasn’t been his best year in his 14 year reign.
I hope that happens but I don’t generally expect authoritarians to give a damn about elections
But how is the opposition, really? Eg. Péter Magyar frankly seems like a shrewd opportunist who's liable to end up just being more of the same, being an ex-Fidesz flunky
Maybe someone will fall out of a window accidentally
It is sad that conman like him has that kind of wealth. He has provided zero value to anyone except himself
Doesn't he spend ~$100'000 per month? Just to live? Of course he has hidden money
He won't have those operating expenses anymore when he's living in a cardboard box.
He’ll have plenty of time to live in a cardboard box when he’s living in a VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!
I’m betting those guys go to the same gym down by the river.
How's he gonna pay the rest of the $1.499 billion though?
I think you're underestimating how much money there is in monetized conspiracy theories on social media. Sure Alex Jones isn't worth $1.5B, but he's likely worth over $100M.
This monster is a pure psychopath, exploiting the vulnerable state of these poor families.
I'll never forget the story of the one father committing suicide. It would be so much to bear. If they received more support from the country; if Republicans didn't block action.. If Alex Jones didn't exist.... Maybe he would still be alive.
... Actually, if the Republican ideology didn't exist, those kids may still be alive as well.
