I hope they didn't pay more than a sack of onions.
I hope it's a lot. The money here is going to the families of Sandy Hook victims. There isn't nearly enough to cover the full court ordered payout, but it's essentially a donation to them with extra steps.
I know, but why should someone other than Jones pay up? He has obviously put aside a lot of money that is due to those affected - he will make even more in the next trump turn. If he gets away with that and shows that it's worthwhile to run a business as immoral as his, others will do exactly the same.
Edit: nvm, I forgot that Trump still owes the state of New York half a billion dollars for massive financial fraud that he will never pay because the US citizens elected him the next president. Well, too bad the US legal system doesn't prosecute anyone personally - especially not with criminal charges. Sorry, I always wrongly assume that the US has a semi-functioning legal system. My bad.
Apparently, the familes actually agreed to a lower price on this one.
