There's a difference between net worth, and liquidity. That came out of his liquidity pool.
Edit, not sure why I was downvoted, this is the truth. A lot of his wealth is tied up in loans against his stocks. If you do enough damage, he has to sell more stock to pay that back, eventually over leveraging himself.
It would take a lot to do that today, which is why going after his TSLA sick price hurts him the most right now.
It's my understanding that this will make it far more difficult for them to get a conviction/verdict. Going for the death penalty has certain bars to hit during a trial by jury. It's often why prosecutors go after lesser sentences on things people absolutely did the worse versions of. This gives them a much more likely guilty verdict from a jury.
By doing this, they're basically torpedoing the case, as I understand it.
Purely to try and scare people/send a message.
When he's rendered a verdict of not-guilty for the crimes that would lead to the death penalty, but is guilty of something relatively trivial, like "owning an unregistered firearm", this could come back to bite them in the ass.
But who knows. I've been hoping for the judicial system to bite the ass of fascists for almost a decade now, without much luck.
It's what usually gets anyone suffering from a chronic illness in the end.
