Summary
Alex Jones has sued Sandy Hook families and The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, alleging a conspiracy in their joint $1.75M bid to acquire Infowars during a bankruptcy auction.
Jones claims their bid unfairly appeared more valuable due to the families waiving portions of their payout, benefiting other defamation victims.
The bankruptcy trustee dismissed the allegations as baseless. Sandy Hook families vowed to hold Jones accountable, while the auction process faces judicial scrutiny over transparency.
A hearing is scheduled for November 25. Jones owes over $1B in defamation damages.
For a guy that owes 1B he sure seems to have a lot of money left.
He signed most of his assets to his dad.
I’m sure he’ll spend it all to make sure they don’t get any if he’s got the opportunity.
It’s a shame in “these cases” there isn’t prison for those in debt. It would be great to see these types in a *pillory (damn autocorrect) or stocks in the town square.
They’d be too busy locking up every person who ever set foot in a hospital to get around to lil ole Alex Jones.
Well medical debt is exempt from other collections processes, so… (At least in America)
No. Don’t even entertain the idea. It’s bad, and would be used to punish the poor.
I think we should be able to entertain any idea, then judge it for its merits. This idea has few, and are heavily outweighed by its negatives.
Maybe if we set the amount owed before being imprisoned to something like 25 million…
No, not really. Because I know how it would end up being used. But a man can dream.
There is debt prison in some jurisdictions. And that’s the real shame. Money shouldn’t land you in prison. All the other things he did should, but debt? No, that’s madness.
A disturbing thing I learned recently: people put in stocks had a tendency to be sexually assaulted at night. I’d be all for it in Jones’s case.

Careful, Alex. By the time you’re done you might owe another billion to them, considering your thin knowledge of how anything works ever.
He’s just going to keep suing and suing for every step to try to wear everyone down.
Curious if they’d be able to sanction him as a Vexatious litigant, or if that would go too far in denying him his legal rights.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vexatious_litigationIf the judges had any propriety for the rule of law they’d just start holding his lawyers in contempt for every new lawsuit they try to bring forth. If he has no one to represent him, the house of cards comes down.
But we don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system full of politically appointed judges who spend their entire careers trying to dismantle the country.
The asshole of humanity
Well one of them anyway
You poop through your asshole. Hemorrhoids is a better descriptor for the guy.
Calling this a “Frankenstein bid” is the closest Alex Jones has ever gotten to reading a work of classic literature.
God this guy is a piece of shit. Actually, I take that back. He’s not a piece of shit. He’s the whole pile of shit.
He’s the vomit that shit vomits when it smells itself.
Ok but can we talk about the hilarious neck beard that complements the bald head giving the impression that his face is the wrong side up?
Holy shit you can’t unsee that.
I just thought he took his chode pic to his barber and said “sandyhook was a false op make me look like my tiny dick.”
What an insufferable piece of shit.
Ok so I’ll sue Alex Jones and then he can sue me, then the families can sue him for suing me, then you guys can sue the families for suing him and he can sue you guys for liking pineapple pizza, then I can sue the universe for creating all this stupidity.
That’s how the law works right?
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
You’re a hoopy guy.
He’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.
A real frood.
Come on dude, take the L.
Go the fuck away and die already you fat conspiracist clown.
Hey now, no need to body shame the conspiracy clown. That fascist grifter has plenty of things we can criticize without acting like Republicans.
Like how he’s an extremely pathetic bigot who keeps making up obviously fake anecdotes about his favorite scapegoats fearing him and everyone else adoring him wherever he goes.
Assholes being assholes. What did you expect, he used to run a conspiracy, fake news and propaganda platform. I wonder when he’ll be US president.
If he wins he gets money from the families so that he can use that money to pay back the families
Could the families use this to generate infinite payouts? I think so.
Wow really? “No u”? Fuck this guy
That fuckhead has no leg to stand on in that. Guess he thinks old diaper dons people will back him
Perhaps not, but those families have to pay for lawyers now to defend against this BS suit, wasting more of their money.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the original lawyers take it pro per or pro se. No expense to the Sandy Hook families.
