Alex Jones on Thursday moved to liquidate his personal assets, agreeing to demands from the families of Sandy Hook victims whom he owes more than $1.5 billion in damages over his lies about the 2012 school massacre.
...Prior to Thursday, Jones had resisted converting his personal bankruptcy into a Chapter 7 liquidation. But facing mounting legal pressure, he reversed course and caved to the demands of the Sandy Hook families, who have still not seen a penny from Jones since juries in Connecticut and Texas found him liable in 2022 for defamation and emotional distress. His lawyers said in a filing that there was “no reasonable prospect for a successful reorganization” and that continuing down the path would only result in additional expenses incurred by Jones.
The legal maneuver ultimately “means [Jones’] ownership in Free Speech Systems is going to get sold,” Avi Moshenberg, an attorney who represents some of the Sandy Hook families, told CNN on Thursday night, referencing the parent company of Infowars.
“Converting the case to Chapter 7 will hasten the end of these bankruptcies and facilitate the liquidation of Jones’s assets, which is the same reason we have moved to convert his company’s case to Chapter 7,” Chris Mattei, another attorney representing Sandy Hook families, told CNN.
Jones technically has not controlled the Infowars business for some time, given that Free Speech Systems has also filed for bankruptcy protection. The company’s business has, thus, been under the supervision of a court appointed restructuring officer.
...The liquidation of Jones’ assets does not mean that Infowars will cease to exist. Several outcomes are possible. The court-appointed trustee could sell the business to another owner, for instance.
A representative for Jones did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday night.

And Robbie Parker gets almost TWICE as much as any other litigant in this case with Alex Jones, to the tune of $120+ MILLION. I’ll leave it at that.

I asked you to stop.
Free speech does mean that you are free to slander, but if you get sued, and lose, then you have to pay.
The Feds will absolutely go after Tucker, Musk and Rogan. The good news is that in 2015 none of those people posed a threat to the Feds. As long as the list of people who pose a threat to the Feds continues to be ever larger the country may have life left in it.
They were a actors
No one died
You can believe that. However, that doesn’t give anybody the right to bring the parents into the discussion. Keep it at the level of government agents and he would have been ok.
I guess the children piled around teacher in the bathroom stall, slaughtered like animals, were acting too. Boy, those kids were committed to the art…because they were not moving.
You may believe what you wish.
