First, Alex Jones learns his lawyers turned over incriminating evidence to the plaintiffs’ attorneys in a potential $150 million civil lawsuit. Then the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Republican-led domestic terrorist attack on Congress requested copies of those communications. And now, in another case, a group of plaintiffs have asked a judge to cut off his cash.
Reuters reports that families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre have requested the judge overseeing the bankruptcy filing of Jones’s conspiracy-spreading network Infowars to halt all payments, including his paycheck, from the company to Jones. The motion also seeks to prevent Jones from handling any cash distributions from the company, trying to stop him from funneling money through his other business entities to him.
Jones has stated that he is using the Infowars bankruptcy filing as a tactic to stem the loss of money he is expecting with the decision in the civil case, claiming that the bankruptcy filing will save him money in the long run instead of going to the people he’s harmed by his lies and harassment.
