minus-squaregrabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 year agoI have no idea how anything works but I’m a 50 year old man so I’ve got an opinion. He has lots of assets and a judgement against him in their favor makes them high priority creditors (I think). My guess is they will liquidate his assets, pay lawyers, pay banks, then pay these women and anyone else he’s in debt to. There will probably be a proceeding where his creditors lawyers line to explain why they should be paid first so maybe it won’t go that way. But rest assured: the lawyers and banks will be paid and he’s deeply in debt. He probably sees this as way to both restructure his debt and avoid paying them. How successful he is at that will be revealed in time.

minus-squaregrabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI think failing to disclose assets would be a further transgression but not an expert.
minus-squareHeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·1 year agoI’m betting that settlement is not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
minus-squarekmartburrito@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year agoCorrect, this was what I have heard on several podcasts. He likely really doesn’t have the money, but he can’t get away from the decision by declaring bankruptcy.
minus-squareTreczoks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoHe never had those millions. So basically they will be able to strip him down into homelessness. AFAIK, a bankruptcy cannot protect you from paying those fines.
minus-squareYurkshireLad@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoGood point but I want those ladies to get compensation. From him. So he is left with nothing.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoTheir compensation is seeing him destroyed. That’s what they wanted in the first place.
