Alex Jones' personal assets will be liquidated to pay Sandy Hook families, judge rules
SUMMARY
A Texas bankruptcy judge has ordered Alex Jones to liquidate his $9 million in personal assets to repay $1.5 billion owed to Sandy Hook victims' families. Jones, facing defamation claims for sharing personal opinions about the shooting, may also lose control of Infowars in ongoing legal battles. The families of Sandy Hook victims have accused Jones of attempting to divert assets from Free Speech Systems to other entities to sustain future activities. Despite efforts to protect assets through bankruptcy, including attempts to sell his Texas ranch and personal items, Jones will retain his Austin home and some exemptions. Reuters reports that it is still uncertain whether Alex Jones' social media accounts, as requested by the Sandy Hook families, will be surrendered to the court.
