In 2022 it was ruled that the conspiracy theorist would have to pay $1.4bn to families of the victims of Sandy Hook.

      He’s slowly dismantling himself. But yeah, way too slowly and he might even infect some terminally brain-dead people meanwhile. This needs to be sped up.

      He is, btw, right now doing the exact same thing that got him sued earlier: calling a double homicide a hoax, everybody involved actors. I hope they sue him. Again.

      Don’t you go insulting crap like that, crap has its uses. Jones is an even lower state of matter.

        I dunno, I think he’d compost just fine. We don’t really have any proof otherwise, right.

        I’m saying this requires experimentation.

          Don’t give in to that framing, that’s just what the globalists want you to believe about the way your body decomposes, because it’s useful for them /s

    Sweet. And he was so hoping Big Daddy would make it all go away.

    Can’t wait til Knowledge Fight will comment on his whining (they’re behind schedule).

    He declared bankruptcy after losing the lawsuits.

    Yeah, “bankruptcy” - both his supplement grift and his show are now owned by his wife.

    Jones is separately appealing his loss in Texas, and is currently challenging a court order that would force the sale of Infowars. Jones faces two more defamation lawsuits from other Sandy Hook parents and the family of a man who was falsely identified as a school shooter. Those cases have not yet gone to trial.

    I just hope they additionally sue him for trying to hide his money, otherwise his victims won’t see much.

      I wonder what will happen to Knowledge Fight if the cockroach of InfoWars finally dies. I guess they’ve been doing some Tucker.

        They’ve been branching out a little but keep returning to their favorite crackpot. Maybe they’ll just do less. But otoh I don’t see someone like Jones just shutting up, whatever happens.

        Afaiu InfoWars itself is dead already, his show has a different name now. Not sure about the supplement grift though.

    Wish I could contest every monetary damage against me all the way to the Supreme Court while loudly claiming to be bankrupt. Do I need to be a total piece of shit first, or is having access to other people’s money enough?
