Overview
A Texas state judge has appointed a receiver to oversee the sale of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars assets, including its parent company, Free Speech Systems.
This significant legal action is intended to help satisfy the more than $1 billion in legal judgments awarded to the families of Sandy Hook victims.
The Sandy Hook families secured nearly $1.5 billion in judgments against Alex Jones and his company for his false claims about the 2012 school shooting.
Jones and Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy in 2022, which ultimately led to this court-ordered liquidation of Infowars assets to pay the victims.
The Texas judge has specifically ordered Free Speech Systems to turn over all its assets within five days, ensuring their prompt sale to compensate the families.
