Judge Orders Alex Jones’ Personal Assets Liquidated to Pay Sandy Hook Families but Dismisses Infowars Bankruptcy Case
Alex Jones' personal assets must be liquidated to pay Sandy Hook families over Jones' claim the massacre was a hoax, a federal judge ruled.
Alex Jones ‘ personal assets must be liquidated to pay the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims over the conspiracy theorist’s false claims that the massacre was a hoax, a federal judge ruled Friday. Jones, founder and host of right-wing fringe site InfoWars, had already filed for personal bankruptcy protection after juries in two separate states ordered him to pay nearly $1.5 billion in damages to the Sandy Hook families.
