Alex Jones was ordered to liquidate his personal assets Friday, as a bankruptcy judge was still considering forcing him to sell his far-right website InfoWars to begin paying the roughly $1.5 billion in damages he owes for claiming the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

Infowars has no real value. The judge should just hand over ownership of all of Alex Jones' domains & social media accounts to the plaintiffs who can then have it just redirect to somewhere like Snopes.
Snopes.comwww.snopes.com The definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation.

Carpe domain, and replace his website with a video of him babbling and getting his *ss handed to him by the judge and lawyer.

He knew his conspiracies weren't true. It's all about the money.

Not going to speculate, and don't want to jinx it either, that the Epstein's approach could be somewhere in the horizon for the damages that he's done all his life.

Won't be sorry to see him go. He did this to himself by being a terrible horrible excuse for a human being.

With all the harsh words, in the most crucial moments of the victims lives, he had to split it on them. I felt so torn on how evil one person can be. Now he's crying being punished.

He was a rich Repub. He made the mistake of thinking that a common rich guy was never going to be made accountable. Sorry Alex. Only oligarchs are not accountable. You’re just some loser schmo with a couple hundred million.

I’m willing to put aside my opposition to debtor’s prison in this one case.

“a bankruptcy judge was still considering forcing him to sell his far-right website InfoWars.” Do it.

Without Jones running it, InfoWars doesn't have any value. The court needs to confiscate the few millions he has in personal assets. The rest is probably safely offshore; and if anyone knows of a case in which the US government recovered significant offshore assets from anyone I'd love to hear it.

If he has to sell InfoWars, it will be to another far-right asshole.

This. The far right is funded by deep pockets whose owners won’t just roll over on this.

I hope he enjoyed the millions he made torturing these families, & I hope he now regrets it for the rest of his life.

Good...and after he pays up...he can go rot in Hell.

I still don't understand what he was trying to accomplish. Can someone help me?

He knew conspiracy theorists would buy anything and he wanted the money and the power. You know how some people say someone would kill their mother for a buck? That's Alex Jones. He tortured a bunch of parents trying to deal with the grief of losing their child. Sociopathic as you can get.

I really don't see how lying on a podcast causes 1.5 billion in damages. What the hell broke down that costs 1.5 billion because he made up something about something that he had no part of?
