Alex Jones' Infowars files for bankruptcy protection

He should be denied the bankruptcy protections.

The rest of his life needs to be spent living in a tiny rental, driving a 15 yr old "beater" car, with almost all of his earnings going towards payments for the wronged people.

I'd love it if he couldn't afford to buy any books or a cell phone too. Let him visit the public library for entertainment.

Smart move to protect the company's assets. It's all legal.

Plaintiffs are using the courts to sue him, he is using the courts to protect himself. Isn't that fair?

The only people responsible for the pain that these families are suffering is the idiot who went berserk with the weapons that committed the carnage in the first place. Blaming gun maker's or gun shops is as ridiculous as blaming vehicle manufacturers for the road toll.

And Joneses right to express his uninformed and ignorant opinion is supposed to be protected. He probably was right in pointing out to his viewers that crisis actors were employed in the coverage of the tragedy by mainstream media, aswell he and his followers probably are also right that there is a movement to exploit these tragedies for their own political agenda in removing firearms from the general population.

I think that with regards to this topic the only thing more obscene than the rantings of Jones is the virtue signalling agenda driven cabal of seemingly parasitic individuals who've attached themselves to others real life loss and pain for their own self promotion, profiting and perfunctory political posturing.

The looney tunes who've harassed and threatened anyone because of what they viewed on Jones' site should be tracked down and prosecuted for their misdeeds, that's on them. Trying to get money from Jones as a way to silence his voice is just plain wrong - no matter how distasteful he is for the majority of rational thinking people.

Jones has made a career scamming the mentally unbalanced and the vulnerable with conspiracy theories.

Trash.

Not a fan of the guy, but I would never call for him to be canceled. We should never take free speech from anyone. Regardless of how vile, rude and repugnant it cam be. I think the man has every right to the 1st amendment as everyone else. He should use the bankruptcy laws the way they were made to do.

This is a bankruptcy filing by the company, not Jones personally. The reason why the company only has $50,000 is almost certainly because Jones has been siphoning off cash. The mandatory disclosures in a bankruptcy could end up helping the plaintiffs track down that money in the end.

He is an actor and says whatever will make him money. He doesn't give a crap about Sandy Hook or anything else. It's all about riling up the rubes, getting their money and then laughing at them all the way to the bank.

Not just him.

All entertainers do this.

Alex Jones is a thug, only he used lies to harm people, not a gun.

The fact that so many people followed what he said is just sad.

Again, not a fan, a bit too over the top for my taste but the guy has millions of followers, he didn't get there by himself, his fans made him.

The fact that so many people followed what he said is just sad.

Well, not to his fanbase.

When he found out he was going to have to pay out, he bankrupted his company, funneling $72 million out of it in the past few weeks, including an $18m payday to himself.

Throw this guy in jail.

He went broke

He went broke

He just paid himself $18 million to funnel money out of infowars, then claimed bankruptcy. He most definitely didn't go broke. https://abovethelaw.com/2022/04/alex-jones-pays-himself-18m-declares-bankruptcy-offers-sandy-hook-plaintiffs-change-he-found-in-couch-at-infowars-studio/

The families suing Alex Jones saw this coming and filed a motion on April 8th claiming Jones was illegally moving money from Inforwars into phony shell companies he controls to make Infowars appear bankrupt, with large transfers of money that are called payments to these shell companies coinciding with his legal defeats. Many of the suspicious transfers center on a mysterious company called PQPR, which the plaintiffs claim is controlled by Jones and his family members. Shortly after Jones lost his last appeal to block the defamation cases in Texas, PQPR claimed that Free Speech Systems owed it $54 million, almost all of InfoWars’ assets. As much as 80% of Infowars sales revenue is transferred to PQPR.

And now he will use the bankruptcy laws to allow him to keep his assets, the guy will be back up in now time.

Not going to happen.

American right-wing elites, once again using the law to screw the little guy. It's their MO.

Republicans are strongly of the opinion that their elites should have back-doors to escape punishment when they break the law. We have seen them push this time and time again over the past decade. Look how they support Jones screwing over the people he lost his lawsuit to. And lets not forget when they applauded Trump for admitting he screwed the people in the 2009 Lehman crash, because that's what any good businessman would do. Then they supported him in not changing those laws when he was in power.

Has there ever been a more morally decrepit group of Americans in America ever?
