The trustee overseeing Infowars host Alex Jones’ personal bankruptcy case is accusing the far-right conspiracy theorist of trying to shield more than $5 million from creditors, including relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut.
Three new lawsuits filed by the trustee on Friday alleging fraudulent asset transfers are the latest developments in Jones’ long-running bankruptcy case, which has been pending in federal court in Houston for more than two years. In financial statements filed in bankruptcy court last year, Jones listed his net worth at $8.4 million.
The Sandy Hook families won nearly $1.5 billion in judgments in 2022 in lawsuits filed in Connecticut and Texas accusing Jones of defamation and emotional distress for saying the school shooting that killed 20 first graders and six educators was a hoax. Victims’ relatives testified in court about being terrorized by Jones’ supporters.
Just listen to the show. He has been openly transferring customers to a different store that is “completely unrelated” to Alex Jones companies and he “doesn’t have a stake in”. Except that it’s his dad’s website and all the paperwork is in the names of employees of Alex. He wasn’t even trying to hide it. Completely, nakedly trying to hide assets.
They are just going to play him back to himself in court and say to his lawyer “is this your client?” Open and shut case.
