Alex Jones agrees to assets sell-off – giving up Infowars control – to pay $1.5bn to Sandy Hook families

Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has finally agreed to liquidate his assets to pay the $1.5 billion he owes to some of the families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims for defaming them with lies.
On Thursday Jones, 50, asked a judge to covert his bankruptcy into a Chapter 7 liquidation after a legal back-and-forth that he engaged in to try and avoid paying the billions of dollars a court has ordered him to pay the families for defamation.
The move would force Jones to give up control of Infowars, his right-wing fake news website that Jones has used for more than 20 years to circulate misinformation and conspiracy theories while enriching himself.
