Judge orders Alex Jones’ Infowars sold to pay Sandy Hook families in defamation case
“ A Texas judge has ordered Alex Jones’ broadcast and merchandising business Infowars be sold to pay Sandy Hook families a token of the $1.5 billion he owes them for defamation.
The order, signed Tuesday by a state judge, comes one year after Infowars parent company was released from federal bankruptcy protection, allowing Sandy Hook families to go after its assets in the state courts.
The receiver “is appointed … with authority to take possession of all the turnover property, sell the turnover property and pay the proceeds to (Sandy Hook families) to the extent required to satisfy the judgment,” says an order by Judge Maya Guerra Gamble in Travis County District Court.
The order represents the first breakthrough for Sandy Hook families in a marathon three-year bankruptcy process that made headlines in December when the federal judge overseeing the case threw out the sale of Infowars to a partnership between Sandy Hook families and The Onion, a satirical news organization.
The judge told disappointed Sandy Hook families to go after Jones in state court.
Meanwhile, Jones’ personal bankruptcy case remains active in federal court, where Judge Christopher Lopez has signed orders that authorize the sale of Jones’ personal property and real estate.
Jones called the2012 massacre of 26 first graders and educatorsat Sandy Hook Elementary School “staged,” “synthetic,” “manufactured,” “a giant hoax” and “completely fake with actors.””
My comments:
Excellent news! This should have happened YEARS AGO!
Now get Jones’ personal property and real estate sold to pay off more of what the court ordered! Jones is beyond despicable.
