      Yes, but he’s lost custody of his children to his first wife.

      Fun fact- he couldn’t remember details about his children in the hearing, and attributed that memory lapse to, and I shit you not, the fact that he had a “big bowl of chili for lunch.”

        The man is half actually crazy and half faking crazy. Statements like that make no sense for a grift. Why not just say you’re stressed?

          At the time, his lawyer argued that Jones is just a performance artist. But honestly, I think it’s much more likely he’s a paranoid schizophrenic. He just wholesale invents reality to be whatever he wants it to be when it’s convenient for him and his grift. I honestly think he doesn’t have a grasp on objective reality any longer.
