Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars media platform and its assets will be sold off piece by piece in auctions this fall to help pay the more than $1 billion he owes relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, under an order expected to be approved by a federal judge.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston said during a court hearing Tuesday that he will approve the auctions that start in November. But he said he first must change a previous order to make it clear that the trustee overseeing Jones’ personal bankruptcy case controls all the assets of Infowars parent company Free Speech Systems, which is owned 100% by Jones.
Despite the pending loss of his company, Jones vows to continue his talk shows through other means, possibly including a new website and his personal social media accounts. He also has suggested that Infowars’ assets could be bought by his supporters, allowing him to continue hosting his show as an employee under the Infowars brand in their home city of Austin, Texas.
As much as I love them, I’d love to see it keep the same tone to attract the crazy conspiracy-theorists, then poison their minds with factual information presented as if it was deep-state conspiracy revealing secret knowledge.
Oh that would be fun. Slowly shifting it from “elite globalists represented by the democrats are transing your kids and faking school shootings” to “elite billionaires represented by the republicans are poisoning your water and busting your union”
