Alex Jones ordered to liquidate assets to pay for Sandy Hook conspiracy suit

A federal judge on Friday ordered the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones′ personal assets, but also dismissed the bankruptcy case of Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems.
The decisions leave the future of his Infowars media platform uncertain, as Jones owes $1.5 billion for his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

Judge Christopher Lopez approved converting Jones’ proposed personal bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation, but threw out the attempted reorganization of his company, Austin, Texas-based Free Speech Systems. Many of the Sandy Hook families had asked that the company also be liquidated.

It wasn’t immediately clear what will happen to the company that Jones built into a multimillion-dollar moneymaker over the past 25 years.
