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.

Awe c'mon. He was just speeching! Isn't speeching protected? Don't unfree his speech, why you hate liberdom and freedity?

Sandy Hook families holding about $1.5 billion in defamation judgments [...] 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

Literally pennies on the dollar.

His house in Austin, that he bought for a couple million dollars, he sold to his wife in 2022 for the grand total of ten dollars. They're going to claw that back from him for trying to hide it. And then they're going to force him to sell it because Texas bankruptcy law only keeps your house in a city or town safe from bankruptcy seizure if it's one acre or less. And the lot his house is on is 1.089 acres - such a shame!

What's the difference between 1.5 billion and 5.5 million? About 1.5 billion.

Or in this case, the difference between 1.5B and 55M.

Also there may be state specific differences, but the transfer of his assets to his wife only is called a "fraudulent conveyance" and is still able to be obtained to the debtors. Also it was a dick move and requires more lawyers.

Can't wait for Knowledge Fight to cover this. Last episode largely involved AJ not being present in thebstudio due to "having to deal with some bankruptcy matters"

Do it.

Tired of seeing these wingnuts get away with murder or just refuse to comply with court orders.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I think we have a ton more of that still to see

Pushing buttons not for you? That's fine. How do you feel about pulling levers?

We should do this more. Liquidate bad wealthy people's assets and distribute it to those they have harmed.

Granted that hasn't happened here yet, but I hope it does.

The knowledge fight guys are going to need a new subject in a few years 🤔

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

A few months of them dunking on just how lame Owen Shroyer and Harrison Smith are would be glorious.

So I hear organs can usually fetch some good money... Just a random, totally unrelated thought I had.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Alex Jones is a raging alcoholic. Nobody's interested in those vodka marinaded organs. You can pick a random episode of the Knowledge Fight podcast and there's a damn near 50/50 chance the episode of Info Wars they're going to be tearing apart will culminate with a drunken, crying, screaming, Alex Jones temper tantrum.

For the past year or so there are some pretty telling signs of what is most likely cocaine added to the mix.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

which is actively counteracting the damage done by alcoholism, the globalists WISH they had his super powered organs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Not to mention all the SUPER MAIL VITALITY BRAIN FARCE X pills filled with god knows what.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Hey even if we can only get ¢10 on the dollar for his organs it's still worth it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

You say "vodka marinaded," I say "well-preserved!"

Also what's your bright spot today, buddy?
