Comment on Alex Jones' Infowars to Be Shut Down, Assets Liquidated

Does this include his own home and/or other properties as well? If it’s just his business assets then what is there besides his name and show? Hopefully substantial funds in the bank, assuming they weren’t shovelled off shore.
I can’t imagine his stock of bullshit supplements are worth much anymore.
I believe he did the Texas two-step beforehand and his wife owns the bulk of the assets and he will be enjoying a nice life… The selling off of the studio assets is substantial, but ultimately, anyone can do guy with a microphone news.
… Honestly… Honest to God… what might have actually made more money for the family is allowing Alex Jones & Infowars to persist indefinitely and simply seize all of the profits.
The families don’t care about the money, the point is to get him to stop doing this. He’s still saying Sandy Hook was a false flag, just like he does every single time there’s a shooting. He’s still spreading propaganda and lies every day, and still defaming people. His own lawyer argued that the amount was excessive specifically because Alex was going to keep doing the same thing anyway so the fine wouldn’t matter and they might as well reduce it. This isn’t about letting him do what he does and seizing the profits.
There are so many people doing guy with a microphone news, as you put it (not that InfoWars can be considered news), that without his studio and company he’ll just be another one of these extremist grifters ranting on X 24/7 and will hopefully fade away. Reducing the amount of damage he can do to people is the goal.
Reducing the amount of damage he can do to people is the goal.
But there is no real damage being done.
A rational person would say I was part of a public tragedy, and now there are crazy people who try to itnerpret this tragedy inthe way they want, and some grifters use it to their own advantage cynically… I am not harmed by this. You can expect this to happen.
It is irrational to say that Alex Jones hurts you through his conspiracy theories.

Legal Eagle did a video on this recently. He has a federal and a few state trials and a personal and business bankruptcy thing going. The families are in disagreement on how to get the money. Some want to shut the show down and don’t care about the money, and some want to go the seize assets route.
There are different federal and state cases to resolve. He also gave his parents some of his assets and he tries to sell his parents supplements now in order to work around the court order since it’s his parents making money and not him.

Yeah and he’s playing the financial shuffle game to hide assets. This mofo deserves to be living in a box under an overpass.
