The families of Sandy Hook school shooting victims voted overwhelmingly in favor of a plan to wrap up Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings by liquidating the right wing talk show host’s assets.
I don’t know what’s funnier; Alex Jones’s estate being liquidated to pay back the families of his victims, or Mike Lindell being forced to pay the $5 million “prize” he offered to disprove his election fraud lies, and then was sued because he refused to pay it after he was easily disproven.
God damn it’s a good week for honesty.
The Truth finally got its boots on and is kicking. Love to see it.

How does Alex Jones still have anything
Jones’ general unsecured creditors—comprised mostly of Sandy Hook families holding about $1.5 billion in defamation judgments against the famed conspiracy theorist—voted 100% in favor of a Chapter 11 plan that would methodically liquidate and redistribute his property and cash, while preserving potential legal actions against parties affiliated with Jones and his Infowars program.
I hope he dies penniless under a bridge somewhere, like the troll he is.
Once you reach a certain level of wealthy, you literally cannot die poor. Sadly this isn’t the movie trading places. Billionaires don’t go fully broke, they’re always allowed to keep a certain level of wealth forever after
I agree with you. Just a note, though; Alex isn’t a billionaire. Even the plaintiff’s lawyers estimated his wealth at only “as much as $270M”. It still makes me sad to realize how many people he grifted, defamed, and otherwise harmed to make that much money…
Well ya super rich people designed the entire legal system in the US specifically to protect themselves from ever have to face any real consequences for their crimes. You dont have to look much further than Donald J Trump to see how thats working.
We never brought them to the guillotines in the US.
So they think they can do whatever they want.
Europe still remembers, but they are slowly forgetting too.
Might be time for another culling.
Jones definitely isn’t a billionaire. He owns a glorified YouTube Channel that sells supplements and brain pills. Hopefully he is toast.

The only upside with Alex Jones is the spawn of the “Knowledge Fight” podcast.

I have a freakishly large neck.
The vote indicates the creditors’ preference over a competing plan submitted by Jones that would allow him to reorganize by preserving parts of his media empire and paying the group at least $5.5 million a year over 10 years.
Lmao this part cracks me up the most. He was like “how about instead of selling all my stuff, I give you pennies on the dollar of what I owe you for a few years and we call it good?”
He’s been dealing with some of the dumbest fucks on the planet (his viewers/listeners) for so long he thinks ridiculous shit like that works on everyone
Sandy Hook families holding about $1.5 billion in defamation judgments […] a competing plan submitted by Jones that would allow him to reorganize by preserving parts of his media empire and paying the group at least $5.5 million a year over 10 years
Literally pennies on the dollar.
His house in Austin, that he bought for a couple million dollars, he sold to his wife in 2022 for the grand total of ten dollars. They’re going to claw that back from him for trying to hide it. And then they’re going to force him to sell it because Texas bankruptcy law only keeps your house in a city or town safe from bankruptcy seizure if it’s one acre or less. And the lot his house is on is 1.089 acres - such a shame!

What’s the difference between 1.5 billion and 5.5 million? About 1.5 billion.
Or in this case, the difference between 1.5B and 55M.
It’s for all intents and purposes the same size difference
5.5M/yr over 10 years is 55M
Which is still 3.7% of $1500M judgment $55M offered

Why did you omit the part where they didn’t accept that plan? Those ellipses did some heavy lifting.
It really is the best part, because he’s trying to weasel out of it saying “if you want money I’ve got to keep the machine running to make more” but the families holding him accountable are setting his everything on fire telling him it was never about the money, and that’s awesome. He was hoping greed would save his ass but here he is in the hands of people who want real justice - the dismantling of the very machine he used to do harm.
Assuming no one else comes in and finances a new platform for him. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t happen.
He looks like he hasn’t had a bowel movement since the bush administration
Good, Break him, sell his company.
Dissolve the board of directors.
Sandy hook parents can choose what kind of acid to use.
Same thing gonna happen to trump
We can only hope. If we’re really good this year maybe Santa will bring us the same thing for another one of these disgusting wastes of oxygen like Tucker Carlson or MTG.
Do it.
Tired of seeing these wingnuts get away with murder or just refuse to comply with court orders.
Unfortunately I think we have a ton more of that still to see

oops how did that link get there
“I am not good with computer”
Pushing buttons not for you? That’s fine. How do you feel about pulling levers?
So I hear organs can usually fetch some good money… Just a random, totally unrelated thought I had.
Alex Jones is a raging alcoholic. Nobody’s interested in those vodka marinaded organs. You can pick a random episode of the Knowledge Fight podcast and there’s a damn near 50/50 chance the episode of Info Wars they’re going to be tearing apart will culminate with a drunken, crying, screaming, Alex Jones temper tantrum.
For the past year or so there are some pretty telling signs of what is most likely cocaine added to the mix.
which is actively counteracting the damage done by alcoholism, the globalists WISH they had his super powered organs
Not to mention all the SUPER MAIL VITALITY BRAIN FARCE X pills filled with god knows what.
Dear Alex, Welcome to Waking Life !!
This is Great… Unfortunately this is too little too late …
He’s already moved out every asset he owns from under his control to other sources. They’ve given this man too much time to make himself appear “Virtually” as pauper on paper. He’ll go to prison before he ever gives them a cent.
That’s what makes auditors so damn cool yet scary. They can trace that shit.
Forensic auditors are scary. However, given the caliber of people Alex Jones surrounds himself with, I have a sneaking suspicion it wouldn’t be particularly difficult to untangle his finances (relatively speaking).
Even if they can trace it, can they take it? Let’s say he puts his house in a trust and makes some family members the owner of the trust, that would no longer be his property, no?
This article has the best breakdown I’ve ever read in a single source, but, from what I understand as a non-expert or even expert-adjacent, it doesn’t work that way.
If you put things in a living trust and name others as the beneficiary and then file for bankruptcy, you still own those trusts. So they take the assets.
If you put your assets in an irrevocable trust around the time that you file for bankruptcy and the recipient gives you something in return, the courts take the something you got in return. If you get nothing in return, then the auditors say “this smells like bullshit” and then the courts go, “yup, that’s definitely a coverup,” and then they reverse the trust and give you an extra punishment. If you’d established that trust well before filing for bankruptcy, then you didn’t have the money anyway, so nothing to take. But if the person who owns the trust is using the trust to financially support you, then the court will yoink the money before you spend it or they’ll spank you after you’ve spent it.
The knowledge fight guys are going to need a new subject in a few years 🤔
It’d be tough. They’d need to find another show that broadcasts as regularly as Jones does. They have made moves recently that seem to indicate they know Jones is done for and they’re transitioning to monitoring various right wing shit heads instead as occasion arises.
A few months of them dunking on just how lame Owen Shroyer and Harrison Smith are would be glorious.
We should do this more. Liquidate bad wealthy people’s assets and distribute it to those they have harmed.
Granted that hasn’t happened here yet, but I hope it does.
This dude has got to be hiding gold somewhere, now they just need to find out where.
I don’t know, if I was him, I wouldn’t trust gold considering all the gold scam ads Infowars runs.
Like any good nazi, I’d wager its in a swiss bank.
Is that his nickname for his ass?
Bbbbbbb but, what about his freedom of speech!!! I hope that he finds complete misery and hopelessness after the things he’s done to those families.
after the things he’s done to those families.
It’s been a while since I read up on it, what things are you referring to?
Edit: hey, sorry for not being American and hearing about this stuff nonstop like Americans do. I’m truly sorry for asking a genuine question.
If you have ever read up on it, I don’t think it’s changed much since the last time you did.
Ok, I read up on it after I posted my comment. Truth is I have a porous memory (yes that’s a thing) and forgot specifics on topics from things like the news. I’m not American so that kind of news isn’t front and center all the time like it is there.
As soon as I read it it clicked though. For whatever reason, I thought there was something else that happened that I didn’t know about.
Maybe go read the court’s decision for a starter.
Every time someone asks me the difference between free speech and freeze-peach, I just point to this asshole.
You can’t infringe on my right to free peaches its in the constipation
No, freeze peach. You still need to pay for them. But the price of the right to freeze peach is microwave peach.
And im proud to be an American where the peaches are free and I won’t forget the trees that died and gave that right to me
