Infowars host Alex Jones filed for bankruptcy on Friday, after a series of defamation trials resulted in Jones owing nearly $1.5 billion to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, The Washington Post reported.
Jones reportedly listed his assets at between $1 million and $10 million and his debts at between $1 billion and $10 billion, according to the Post.
A Connecticut jury in October ordered Jones to pay $965 million in compensatory and punitive damages to 15 relatives of the victims of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The families sued Jones for spreading the unfounded conspiracy theory that the shooting — which left 26 people, including 20 young children, dead — was a hoax staged by the U.S. government.

“Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
Ouch.
Didn’t his lawyers use the Tucker Carlson defense. (no one in their right mind would believe him?).
When he awakened folks to the problems, was he looking in a mirror?
Indeed. The law of unintended consequences rears its ugly head again.
“It’s easier and requires less manpower to use “lawfare” to simply destroy you.”
Scientology has been using this tactic for decades.
If you look back he’s been right about 95% of the stuff he has said over the last 25+ years and millions of people know it.
I’d say that’s impactful
So what you are saying is the U.S. justice system is a cult.
“So what you are saying is the U.S. justice system is a cult.”
Cults have standards.
I wouldn’t go that far. Even the most conservative and most liberal can extrapolate a fact from almost any situation.
Psalm 34:14, Proverbs 13:3, Matthew 12:36-37, Proverbs 6:16-19 among others.
Right, my bad.
Doesn’t change what I said.
Oh, I agree. There are a lot of stupid people posting support for Alex Jones in those threads.
No kidding, just because he disbelieves the narrative. Which BTW, I never bought.
Show me a birth certificate, a death certificate and a pathology report.
I know I know, my user name is perfect. I think so too. In this age of mass deception, I can see truth when shown it. I never saw anything but a fake dad laughing then crying, and not a single ambulance transported an injured or dying child.
I simply call BS. not written out but meant.
Holy finork, isn’t it his job to testify? So he gets 90M for doing his job?
Purposely slanderous, would apply to the press. AJ would be part of that, but you can’t slander an event. He never even named any people.
Do NOT be stating facts in this thread. /s\
