NEW: A US bankruptcy-court trustee plans shut down conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's Infowars and liquidate its assets to help pay the $1.5 billion in judgments against Jones, he told the court in an emergency motion yesterday

Bankruptcy trustee discloses plan to shut down Alex Jones' Infowars and liquidate assetswww.houstonchronicle.com Jones has been saying on his web and radio shows that he expects Infowars to operate for...

I thought the courts were going to let him keep that?.. I hope they take his goddamn shoes

Aw, be forgiving. Let him keep one. He can hop.

Forgiveness is not a quality I possess.

“Faith, hop, and charity; and the greatest of these is hop.”

ok... he can keep one, but we hire someone to walk in front of him 24/7 spreading caltrops, lava and scorpions.

I'll donate some d4s to the cause.

Oh Crom, that's unbelievably cruel and heartless.. I'll allow it.

I'll add Legos and British plugs.

Now THAT is a deep cut for the true fans. I'm impressed.

Unexplainably, this echoes in my head about once a week

As does: ♬ daaaangerous! ♬ how'm I lookin?

The Red Dwarf bit that pops up in my head constantly is "The Rimmer Experience." I'll be puttering around the house and suddenly realize I've been singing it to myself for like 5 minutes

He can keep one if he's getting beaten with it every minute until his last day on the earth.

There is a phrase in Te Reo Māori here in NZ.. Jandaled: When ya Auntie chases you around the crib, whipping your arse with a jandal because you were a dumb fuck.

he can have this one after I'm finished with it. It'll be near him anyway.

Some of the families asked the judge to order it liquidated, some didn't want that because that's how Jones makes money to pay them, the judge decided not to *force* the liquidation, though Jones would eventually not actually own Infowars. But now the trustee is like, nope, gotta go.

I cant imagine anyone willing to let him continue to spread his poison, just so they can get paid.. there's a serious disconnect there somehow. Glad it seems to be going sideways for him though. Think he'll cry more?

So what the courts decided was that Jones could keep going ahead with chapter 7 bankruptcy for himself. InfoWars was not allowed to go forward with bankruptcy proceedings, which meant that in theory he would retain control of it but in practice it's now open season on it by their creditors.

What complicates it is that InfoWars is wholly owned by Jones, so the trustee in charge of THAT bankruptcy is now wanting to liquidate the company to pay creditors. The filing asks for the courts to hold off on letting the creditors seize the company's assets...

...so that the trustee can liquidate them in an orderly fashion, rather than the feeding frenzy that the creditors are otherwise about to start. Remains to be seen if this is another stalling tactic or a good faith action by said trustee.

It's also unclear if it would be faster for the company to be torn to pieces by the various creditors (mostly the families of Sandy Hook victims), or for the trustee to liquidate it. The former would likely be held up in a variety of court hearings, while in theory the second could be pretty quick.

Also, disclaimer, IANAL, I just read too much and took a couple of law classes in college for my in-department electives. Please don't take anything I say as gospel. >.<

Thanks.. I'm not in the US, so it's not on every screen like I would assume in the States

It really isn't, unfortunately (or fortunately, I guess). I just follow the case pretty closely, albeit largely through Knowledge Fight and other folks with more experience covering Jones.

I think it was that as Infowars wasn't in financial distress, it couldn't file for bankruptcy, Alex Jones is the one who owes the money, and owns Infowars, it's an asset in his bankruptcy.

He has hidden real assets.They need better accountants to find and claw every penny back.

They have effectively infinite money to hound him for his assets, and motivation to keep it up forever.

End of the day, the only people who will profit from this are the lawyers.

Frankly, I hope the families get some compensation, and having the rest of it go to making him miserable is fine with me.

only his laces

oh no, let him keep those. and his belt.. maybe *one* bullet.

Let him keep his shoes, take his feet instead.

LIQUIDATE THEIR ASSES

HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHA

Great! I'm hoping they'll also be able to claw back all of the assets he's ratlined to friends/relatives.

Exactly! He started doing this as soon as the trial started. They need to go back and claw it all back bc they know its a hiding tactic

"Jones is appealing the judgments in the state courts. He has said that he now believes the shooting did happen, but free speech rights allowed him to say it didn't." oh my god someone hit him repeatedly with an aluminum baseball bat please

Inciting lawless actions are not a right.

Hit him repeatedly with an aluminum bat? Wow. Horrible.

He didn’t just *say* it didn’t happen. He harped on it, expanded on it, said people’s dead kids either didn’t really exist or were actors, and made those families lives even worse hell, augmented by his rabid followers. He capitalized on that. He should end up destitute.

When’s the party and what are we all drinking? 😈

Here and dirt bag tears

💃🏻🎉🍾
