Company run by Alex Jones’ dad that wanted $68M from Infowars settles for $375K in Sandy Hook case

A company run by Alex Jones’ father that claimed it was owed $68 million from Infowars will get a fraction of that amount according to a settlement brokered by a federal bankruptcy official who is trying to get the most money he can for Sandy Hook families.
The settlement, which would pay the company run by Jones’ father $375,000, is a “small fraction” of what the company sought from the parent company of Jones’ broadcast and merchandising business Infowars, and means Sandy Hook families who sued Jones for defamation will not “be forced to share pro rata in the proceeds of (Infowars’ parent company) assets,” said the federal bankruptcy official, Christopher Murray, in a court filing.
Details about the payout to Jones’ father were not provided in Murray’s 10-page filing in federal bankruptcy court in Houston on Friday, except that Murray wanted to settle the matter because he was making progress on the larger issue of selling Infowars after last month’s sale to Sandy Hook families and a satirical news site was thrown out by the judge.
