    Look, I’ll believe it when money changes hands. The whole damn system is designed to protect rich assholes from having to follow law (or court judgements).

    None of this, not the default judgements, not the enormous damages and restitution, and not the sharp words from the judges, is justice. He hasn’t lost yet. Until money changes hands, none of this is worth celebrating. It’s all theater.

      He’s got a huge mansion in Florida. Just like lots of other wealthy scumbags who stole their money. They do that because in Florida, you can’t be forced out of your primary residence to pay legal obligations - like a $1.1B judgement for being a total scumbag.

    I hope Dan and Jordan have Bankston on to discuss the implications and what the next obstacles are.
