Alex Jones’s notorious Infowars channel will be shut down by bankruptcy court
Published By admin with Comments 0
Alex Jones’s notorious Infowars channel is set to be shut down after an emergency motion was put forward in bankruptcy court.
Jones, 50, declared bankruptcy last year when he was ordered to pay $1.5bn to the families of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims after he was sued for promoting a false theory that the massacre was a hoax.
A judge later ruled that he would not be released from paying the settlement despite the bankruptcy filings.
Since then he has failed to pay out any of the sum, with a federal judge in Texas ruling this month to liquidate Jones’s personal assets. The judge did not determine the fate of Infowars at the time.
However, the trustee in charge of Jones’s bankruptcy proceedings has now said that he will move to “conduct an orderly wind-down” of his Infowars media site and liquidate Jones’s business assets.
