The Mountain Way marketing arrangement was designed to funnel money to Alex Jones outside of bankruptcy proceedings.

Alex is referring to Mountain Way, which was a marketing company that was founded in August 2022, just after Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy. John Harmon was the person who ran Mountain Way. Oh, my God. They were taking in money for ads. Sure. And they had paid Alex $157,000 for these ads personally. And so there was this sort of the appearance wasn't good in terms of the arrangement that seemed to be set up to get money to Alex outside of bankruptcy.

The indirect employment arrangement was likely designed for tax benefits or financial exploitation rather than just operational continuity.

Yeah, that sounds like some sort of taxes thing. Sure. It's not tax evasion, but it's like, hey, if you do it this way, there's 20% extra for something or other along the way. That makes sense. That's possible. Write-offs or something. Or even less sort of sneakily, there could be a situation where he was the primary center of that dental practice. Sure. And maybe transferring over to somebody else being more like the center. Sure. It is unusual insofar as it's a... Clear evidence of somebody who knows the financial system is doing something to their benefit. It seems like if it was a practical issue about the dental practice itself, maybe there would be a way that you could have a buyout or something. I don't know. Anyway, I don't think it's too nefarious or anything, but I just thought it was weird. I don't think this one is nefarious, but I do think this is an evidentiary point that suggests there are people at work with financial information that they are capable of exploiting in certain ways. Yeah. And thus, the line between legal and illegal may be just a bit of a problem.
