3. I don't think this verdict will even slow down Alex Jones.

Just like Jim Bakker. He went to jail, got out, and went right back to where he left off.

Jones is still running his operation and still has plenty of rabid followers. He can appeal and delay and appeal and delay some more. I look for this 965 million dollar figure to be reduced greatly on appeal. Every judgement against him will be used to raise more money.

It's like the drug market. As long as there is demand, there will be suppliers.

There are plenty of con men and plenty of marks, and there always will be.
