The Bankruptcy Courts Are Not Going to Help You

A forensic economist estimates that Jones is worth between 135 and 270 million dollars. The lawyers for the families are going to have to just pursue him and ring every cent out of him, says Peddingale. He's got five houses in Texas; according to Texas law, you can't lose a house that way. And he could declare bankruptcy but I think the courts will probably not care about that as long as his actions were willful and malicious enough.
