Alex Jones Gets Brutal Legal News: ‘Final Day Of Infowars?’

On Friday, a federal judge directed the liquidation of Alex Jones’ personal assets and is yet to decide on the bankruptcy case of his company. Judge Christopher Lopez converted Jones’ personal bankruptcy from reorganization to liquidation, with a ruling still pending on whether his Austin, Texas-based company, Free Speech Systems, should face similar measures. The case involving Jones revolves around his comments concerning the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which occurred in Newtown, Connecticut in December 2012. The tragic event resulted in the deaths of 20 children and six adult staff members.

The ruling could shape the future of Jones’ Infowars media platform, especially as he faces a $1.5 billion debt from defamation claims. While the sale of many of Jones’ assets is expected, he is likely to retain his primary home in Austin and certain exempt possessions. To help cover his debts, Jones has already begun selling assets, including his Texas ranch valued at approximately $2.8 million, a collection of firearms, and other items according to CBS News.

“The billion and a half dollar verdict is a fraud. The judges had already told the juries that I was guilty. Now we’ve been in bankruptcy for almost two years proving that everything they claimed about me having hundreds of millions of dollars was not true,” Jones told reporters outside the Houston courtroom.

“They said on the courthouse steps, the plaintiff’s lawyers in Texas and Connecticut, we want Alex Jones silenced. That’s what this is all about. This is about the destruction of the First Amendment in America.” He continued, “Joe Rogan has an audience 100 times that of CNN. I have an audience 15 times that of CNN. Tucker Carlson has an audience 100 times the size of CNN. CNN and other corporate media like it are zombies. They are empty husks that no one believes or listens to anymore.”

Several families of the victims filed defamation lawsuits against Jones, asserting that his false statements had led to harassment and emotional distress. These legal battles culminated in Jones losing multiple cases. In 2021, Jones was found liable by default in Texas and Connecticut for defaming the parents of the victims because he failed to comply with court orders and provide documents during the discovery process.

As a result, in 2022, trials were held to determine the amount of damages Jones had to pay the families. The trials resulted in significant financial judgments against Jones, totaling approximately $1.5 billion. Following these rulings, Jones claimed financial distress and filed for bankruptcy for himself and his company, Free Speech Systems, which is the parent company of Infowars. The bankruptcy filing led to further legal proceedings to determine the handling of his personal and business assets.

Jones has been informing his audience on the web and radio that his company, Free Speech Systems, might soon close due to ongoing bankruptcy issues. An Infowars headline from Friday read: “Watch Live! Will This Be The Final Day Of Infowars Transmissions?” He’s also been encouraging his followers to save copies of videos from his online archive and has directed them to a new website belonging to his father’s company for those interested in continuing to purchase the dietary supplements advertised on his show.

Chris Mattei, a lawyer representing the Connecticut families, said, “Doing so will enable the Connecticut families to enforce their $1.4 billion in judgments now and into the future while also depriving Jones of the ability to inflict mass harm as he has done for some 25 years.”
