ELi5: how can people being sued for millions / billions of dollar continue… living?

561 viewsOther

Been seeing a lot about the Alex Jones case (sued by families of Sandy Hook victims for $1B.)

After bankruptcy, iquidating his assets (home? Car? Studio?) AND giving up his companies, he STILL owes more money/,

How can someone left with nothing (and still in debt) get basic care / necessities / housing when their income must all go to the lawsuit?

They don’t actually take *everything*. Generally they still make a base amount and it’s only whatever they make beyond that level that goes to pay the lawsuit. This includes things like being allowed to keep residential homes. I believe Jones tried to claim he needs $61k/month for living expenses which is obviously absurd.
