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.
How awesome if the sandy hook parents took possession of infowars.
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.
He will need to leave the country. And be an illegal immigrant somewhere, living in relative secrecy.
Victor Orban might take him in
If he can manage to win another election. This hasn’t been his best year in his 14 year reign.
I hope that happens but I don’t generally expect authoritarians to give a damn about elections
But how is the opposition, really? Eg. Péter Magyar frankly seems like a shrewd opportunist who’s liable to end up just being more of the same, being an ex-Fidesz flunky
Maybe someone will fall out of a window accidentally
It is sad that conman like him has that kind of wealth. He has provided zero value to anyone except himself
Doesn’t he spend ~$100’000 per month? Just to live? Of course he has hidden money
He won’t have those operating expenses anymore when he’s living in a cardboard box.
He’ll have plenty of time to live in a cardboard box when he’s living in a VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!
I’m betting those guys go to the same gym down by the river.
