How hard is it for him to start over?
It’s not hard at all, he could be back up and running in a couple of weeks, people file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy every day in the USA, their assets get liquidated and they move on.
A few days ago, here on FR, I suggested the best course of action right now for Alex Jones was to work with the Bankruptcy Trustee get his assets liquidated as fast as possible, get the cases resolved and move on, he’s still Alex Jones and he can back up and running fairly quickly, of course I was ripped by those who don’t understand how bankruptcy works.
