The bankruptcy filing Sunday in Texas puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances.
In its court filing, Infowars said it had estimated assets of $50,000 or less and estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million. Creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing include relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut.
The plaintiffs in that case have said they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy that Jones promoted. Jones has since conceded the shooting did happen. The families have already won defamation lawsuits against Jones.
Another newly filed lawsuit accuses Jones of hiding millions of dollars in assets, but an attorney for Jones has called that allegation “ridiculous.”
And another person affiliated with Trump ends up in jail or is broke.
Maybe people should realize there is only one winner when you go with Trump… Trump. Everyone else loses.
InfoWars is an antisemitic program for far right conspiracy loosers. Even the people who worked for this beast said he was a phony. But a big Jew Hater, who had Trump on his show regularly.
I am afraid this poor man is actually mentally ill.
