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.

This is Great... Unfortunately this is too little too late ...

He's already moved out every asset he owns from under his control to other sources. They've given this man too much time to make himself appear "Virtually" as pauper on paper. He'll go to prison before he ever gives them a cent.

That's what makes auditors so damn cool yet scary. They can trace that shit.

Yeah, that's not as hopeless as you think. They can easily track what he did to obviously hide his assets in the time since the judgement and still seize them from the parties who now could face charges for accepting them.

Can the court do something to punish him if it looks like he's living in luxury despite not owning any assets?

Same thing gonna happen to trump

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

We can only hope. If we're really good this year maybe Santa will bring us the same thing for another one of these disgusting wastes of oxygen like Tucker Carlson or MTG.

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.

This dude has got to be hiding gold somewhere, now they just need to find out where.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I don't know, if I was him, I wouldn't trust gold considering all the gold scam ads Infowars runs.

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

Lol, Alex Jones trying to hold court in front of Rogan and Musk, "Gold? You actually trust that shit? Gold is the quickest way to lose money cuz anyone can sell anything for any amount and call it gold. I should know, I do it all the time!"

This is like the best news day in ages.

(Sorry, I'm out of Rikers and need a refill. Two Rikers in an hour is just too many and I already used up the two I had.)

Sounds like Deanna having a threesome with Will and Thomas.

Bbbbbbb but, what about his freedom of speech!!!! I hope that he finds complete misery and hopelessness after the things he's done to those families.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Every time someone asks me the difference between free speech and freeze-peach, I just point to this asshole.
