And Jack isn't even technically bourbon.

As to Richard Spencer, he appears to be legitimately broke. He was late filing and got stripped of tax-exempt status which has all sorts of nasty implications. Not a lawyer, but I would imagine that having your corporate status change in the middle of being sued would be an unwelcome complication.
