This is the first of these takes I've heard; seems most of us are just taking third hand hearsay on this one. I've always found Jones entertaining, though more interesting back in the 9/11 Truth and Bilderberg group days than anything recently as he seems to have gone a bit loopier than ever. I wasn't even terribly opposed to a hefty fine for defamation if he did what he's accused to have done, though the idea of it being a billion dollars is a bit absurd (Facebook, for reference, got hit with a large fine of $5 billion a couple years back).

I'll have to get to doing some digging, because if it's as you say, this is even more of a travesty than it seemed.

As for this new total, well, this makes the Napster lawsuits against children of yore seem sane by comparison, and much of the same logic seems to have been used for how the figure was calculated. And the idea that we're actually talking about the events the trial is supposedly about rather than Jones' entire history of being a thorn in the side of some powerful people is clearly a lie. If anything, I have to wonder how anyone doesn't see this as suggesting that maybe he was onto a thing or two they'd previously written off that he's being publicly made an example of for exposing.
