Alex Jones to Sell InfoWars to Pay $1.5 Billion Debt to Sandy Hook Families

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has moved to liquidate his personal assets in order to pay the $1.5 billion he owes the families of Sandy Hook massacre victims, who say they were harassed by Jones’ followers who believed his lies that the 2012 school shooting was a hoax.

Jones asked a judge to convert his bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 liquidation, relinquishing his desperate effort to save InfoWars, the conspiracy platform from which he regularly spewed baseless claims. Last weekend, he blubbered on air that he was being “targeted for abuse” by “deep state” actors who wanted to shut down his show, and he begged listeners to buy his dietary supplements to support him. The next day, the Sandy Hook families asked the Texas judge overseeing his bankruptcy case to liquidate his assets, including InfoWars and Free Speech Systems.

Jones’ attorneys affirmed in a Thursday court filing that “there is no reasonable prospect of a successful reorganization” of his debts.

Avi Moshenberg, a lawyer representing the Sandy Hook families, told CNN that the liquidation move ultimately “means [Jones’] ownership in Free Speech Systems is going to get sold,” ending Jones’ hold over a conspiracy theory empire he’s held for decades.

I believe he REPORTED that some have said it was fake.

He actually found some legitimately reported irregularities regarding the scene and environment (of which there are many) and leapt to the conclusion the entire event was staged. He was adamant about it for a few days, I was tracking closely at the time, and still believe the identify/motive of the shooter remains in question, as well as who may have known in advance (typical of many school shootings) but he was going so far as to claim the children were still alive at times.

At trial, he was unfairly declared guilty by the judge before Jones could even present evidence, and the supposed proceedings were simply to identify damages, similar to what happened to Trump with E. jean Carroll. The judgement was obviously un-payable, but he was allowed to remain in business until the appeal can be heard. He’s instead decided to pursue a “shut it down option” that supposedly lets him off the hook for a fraction of the cost, and likely drop the appeal now.

The true details are murky since Jones was on air last week literally crying saying it was the Feds shutting him down when it appears it’s actually his own decision. 20:years ago Jones was rock solid and almost everything he said was fact, and his motives appeared pure, but now he’s a total mess who embellishes constantly and provides little new information to the info war. A tragic hero, who is probably best avoid3d at this point.

“At trial, he was unfairly declared guilty by the judge before Jones could even present evidence”

His “trial” (kangaroo) was similar to PDJT’s in that he was forbidden to state that he’s innocent, and was not permitted to have a normal defense. Completely one-sided.

I believe he REPORTED that some have said it was fake.

Sorry sweetheart, but Jones took it to the max by repeatedly claiming the shooting was a complete hoax. You can follow his comments on line if you wish.

Only and IDIOT would ask me if I was a Democrat as a last resort to offer an argument that is useless.

So, are you and IDIOT?

then the whole lawsuit sounds stupid, too.

You got no argument from me.

But on the other hand, I'm not a parent of one of those kids who was killed that Jones said never happened..........

Que sera, sera......
