The families of Sandy Hook school shooting victims voted overwhelmingly in favor of a plan to wrap up Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings by liquidating the right wing talk show host’s assets.

    Jones’ general unsecured creditors—comprised mostly of Sandy Hook families holding about $1.5 billion in defamation judgments against the famed conspiracy theorist—voted 100% in favor of a Chapter 11 plan that would methodically liquidate and redistribute his property and cash, while preserving potential legal actions against parties affiliated with Jones and his Infowars program.

    I hope he dies penniless under a bridge somewhere, like the troll he is.

      The vote indicates the creditors’ preference over a competing plan submitted by Jones that would allow him to reorganize by preserving parts of his media empire and paying the group at least $5.5 million a year over 10 years.

      Lmao this part cracks me up the most. He was like “how about instead of selling all my stuff, I give you pennies on the dollar of what I owe you for a few years and we call it good?”

        Would you like $100 million now or $55 million later?

        He could have at least tripled the offer in order to get a real shot. I expect they’re invested in his fall, however.

      The only upside with Alex Jones is the spawn of the “Knowledge Fight” podcast.
