Alex Jones is faced with losing his Infowars website again. It was sold once in bankruptcy court. But, another judge later found that sale was not in the best interest of Alex Jones’ creditors and did not follow correct procedure. Since that ruling, a state district court judge has ordered that a state-appointed receiver will
So, now Infowars will be auctioned off. Alex Jones opposed the move in a Houston bankruptcy court. But, theJudge found that was the way to best satisfy the judgments against the conspiracy theorist. See CBS news report here. I previously wrote about Alex Jones and the lawsuits against him here and here.

What sort of person seeks to profit from the murder of dozens of children? Twenty of the victims were between 6 and 7 years old. Yet, for years, Alex Jones sought to profit from the deaths of children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. In so doing, he inflicted emotional torment on their families. For this,
On Thursday, the jury in the Alex Jones trial awarded $4 million to the two parents, Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis as compensatory damages. Compensatory damages are intended to compensate the plaintiffs for their emotional suffering. On Friday, the trial will enter a new phase in which the court will address punitive damages.

She evaded questions about Infowars’ audience size. The questioning then addressed the “crisis actors” issue. Alex Jones had claimed many times that the Sandy Hook Elementary children were not
Alex Jones of InfoWars has been conducting the strangest litigation. He has completely refused to cooperate in discovery in two major lawsuits. His conduct was so bad that that one court found him in default as a sanction. Now, he has filed a Chap. 11 bankruptcy petition. Chap. 11 does not involve a final accounting.
This really is not how to manage a lawsuit. A Connecticut judge has ordered that Alex Jones be sanctioned $25,000 per weekday until he appears for his deposition. The Judge found Mr. Jones in contempt of court for missing two deposition dates. It is very odd that Jones has totally failed to cooperate in discovery
I previously talked about Alex Jones missing his first deposition date here.The Judge expressed deep skepticism about his absence that first day. Now, he has missed a second day set for his deposition. This is just a crazy litigation tactic. Unless Mr. Jones is in the hospital, he really needs to attend his own
I have written before about Alex Jones here and here. The Infowars broadcaster and purveyor of conspiracy theories was found in default against Sandy Hook Elementary plaintiffs in 2021. Now, the parties appear to be engaging in discovery about his income. In the Connecticut lawsuit, they appear to be preparing for a trial just
