He filed this Friday for personal bankruptcy - a move to protect his assets from the $1.5 billion court judgments over conspiracy theories he spread about the Sandy Hook school massacre. As we previously reported, he claimed the mass shooting was a complete hoax.
As a result of his actions, a Connecticut jury awarded the families $965 million in compensatory damages, and a judge later added another $473 million in punitive damages back in October. Earlier in the year, a Texas jury also awarded the parents of a child killed in the shooting $49 million in damages. Jones has not shown any interest in paying at all. Instead, he has laughed off the awards on his Infowars show, saying he has less than $2 million to his name and won’t be able to pay such high amounts.
