Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is facing a court-ordered sell-off of many of his personal assets while the future of his Infowars media platform remains up in the air.

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.

    This monster is a pure psychopath, exploiting the vulnerable state of these poor families.

    I’ll never forget the story of the one father committing suicide. It would be so much to bear. If they received more support from the country; if Republicans didn’t block action… If Alex Jones didn’t exist… Maybe he would still be alive.

    … Actually, if the Republican ideology didn’t exist, those kids may still be alive as well.
