Alex Jones’s businesses tap advisers, weigh possible bankruptcy

This is disputed by the defendant

He says he has given them everything asked for

[Republican Wildcat]

Not according to two different judges in two different states, he didn’t.

[RandFan]

Well he says he has given them everything.

Judges as you know could be easily corrupted that’s why the Founders wanted convictions by juries

[conservative98]

Now it’s let’s believe all judges.

[Roadrunner383]

There were civil cases against Jones in Connecticut and Texas.

In Connecticut, Jones failed to show up for any of the depositions and failed to turn over materials supoenaed by the families. This seems to have gone on for about two years. A judge entered a default ruling based on Jones being a no-show. I don’t know about the Texas case.

Seems like it’s the fault of Jones, first for broadcasting a bunch of nutcase theories about ‘crisis actors’ and then failing to show up in the civil cases.

[RandFan]

Alex has questioned numerous events in the news some he got right (Smollett, WMDs, Syria gas attack), some he got wrong.

He is a broadcaster and a journalist

I mean, ask yourself how you would feel if your Kindergarten-aged child was shot dead and this loudmouth with a massive platform implied you're a lying crisis actor whose kid never existed.

[usconservative]

He went past the claim about Sandy Hook and went to slander, when he basically said that the families were in on the act of the murder of their children.

Not an Alex Jones fan, don't listen to him and don't have an opinion one way or another. I do have a question though:

Aside from the statement above, is it true that he said the children weren't killed and that they didn't really exist, or something close to that?

[RandFan]

It’s not nice at all but questioning events in the news should not land you in such trouble just because there is sympathy otherwise investigative journalism would be dead

[Gigantor]

Has anyone ever explained the odd behavior of this ‘victim’s father’ smiling and chuckling as he appears to think he’s not on camera yet, and then goes through what looks like an actor preparing for a dramatic scene when he thinks he’s on?

Thanks, got the answer to the question I posted above.

Video would have been made of any depositions and both the plaintiffs and Jones would have copies. All Jones (or his attorneys) would have to do is show the judge(s) the video.

If attorneys for the plaintiffs had provided sworn statements to the judge that Jones was a no show, when he did in fact show up for the depositions, they could be arrested for perjury and disbarred. No way would risk that for a client when they knew there was hard proof Jones sat for the depostions.

Bankruptcy is probably a good option at this point. It won’t necessarily stop the various lawsuits, but it will pause them and prevent any collection efforts. The bankruptcy court can abstain or lift the stay for the purpose determining the validity and amount of any claim in litigation, and this allows the plaintiff their right to a jury trial, either in the court where the litigation began or in the local US District Court. One interesting facet of bankruptcy is how it creates unlikely alliances between parties who were at odds prior to the filing. Some creditors may find themselves allied with the debtor and in opposition to rival creditors.

[RandFan]

You’re aware that he disputes everything the judges have ruled about depositions and not turning over documents..

He as the Respondent is challenging everything why do you only believe one side?

[TexasGurl24]

The words “Jury of your peers” appears nowhere in the Constitution.

Jones suffered a default judgment in two separate cases because he refused to comply with discovery.

That’s what happens when you ignore court orders.

[RandFan]

He disputes this.

[DesertRhino]

He never said that. If he did you could provide a video of it. There never was a trial, just a leftist female judge ruling he was guilty.

It will eventually get reversed.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They’ve been giving Alex and Owen Shroyer the January 6th treatment. No rights. They did the same thing to Alex in the Newtown trial. He was not allowed to present any evidence or testimony.
