I like that they used his own money to buy it. At least I assume that's what is happening with the backers of the project.

I saw that headline on NYT this morning and seriously thought I was on the Onion or something.  When I realized I wasn't I cackled.

The best part from this NPR article:
“Regardless of who Jones is working for, the families can continue to chase his future earnings. That's because the bankruptcy judge ruled that Jones' behavior was "intentional and malicious," so he is not entitled to the clean slate that bankruptcy usually offers.

The families "have a hunting license to go after any asset or any income that Jones has, regardless of source," says Bruce Markell, a former U.S. bankruptcy judge and now Northwestern School of Law professor.”

The first link seems to indicate he can open new social media accounts so will he just grow a new following and repeat?

Which they can then go after whatever income he makes from that, too.

This made my day.

The only thing that sucks is that the families will have to go through the process of initiating a new lawsuit (potentially over and over again) if/when AJ accumulates more assets. It's a shame there wasn't a way to rule that for the rest of his life he could only be allowed to hold $x amount of total assets, and anything over that automatically would go to the families. You KNOW we are going to see them all in court again in the future.

Love this journey for him.
