Alex Jones’ personal bankruptcy was converted to a formal liquidation, meaning a trustee will decide how Jones will pay down $1.5 billion in defamation judgments.
Jones and families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who he defamed have for months been unable to agree on how he will pay them. The families won their state defamation judgments against the right-wing conspiracy theorist and his media platform, Infowars, after he repeatedly called the 2012 school shooting a hoax.
