Alex Jones’ personal assets to be sold to pay $1.5B Sandy Hook debt. Company bankruptcy is dismissed - eviltoast

A federal judge on Friday ordered the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ′ personal assets but dismissed his company’s separate bankruptcy case, leaving the future of his Infowars media platform uncertain as he owes $1.5 billion for his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

Judge Christopher Lopez approved converting Jones’ proposed personal bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation, but threw out the attempted reorganization of his company, Austin, Texas-based Free Speech Systems. Many of the Sandy Hook families had asked that the company also be liquidated.

      Somehow I doubt he has 1.5B in personal assets. And will be happy when he is pennyless, and separated from infowars, as well.

        He probably won’t be pennyless. People like this have offshore accounts and untraceable currency. But if he ever shows an inkling of having wealth after all this, then that’s an opportunity to claim more assets.
