Alex Jones...still trash
Last year, conspiracy theorist and extremist broadcaster Alex Jones was ordered to pay more than $1.5 billion in judgments to families of children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre. A series of court rulings ordered the payments after Jones spread false conspiracy theories about their children’s deaths. While Jones still hasn’t paid his victims a cent, he spent $93,000 on himself in July, according to bankruptcy filings reported by the Associated Press.
Jones has been paying his wife $15,000 a month. In July, he spent $7,900 on housekeeping, $6,300 on meals and entertainment, and $6,700 on a second home, the AP reports.
“If anything, I like to go to nice restaurants. That is my deal. I like to go on a couple of nice vacations a year, but I think I pretty much have earned that in this fight,” Jones said on his Infowars show.
Christopher Mattei, a lawyer for the victims said the families will continue to fight: “It is disturbing that Alex Jones continues to spend money on excessive household expenditures and his extravagant lifestyle when that money rightfully belongs to the families he spent years tormenting,” Mattei said.
