A judge has ordered Infowars host Alex Jones to sell his personal assets to pay families of the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting victims, who won $1.5 billion in defamation cases against him.
However, the judge did not order the liquidation of his company, Free Speech Systems, which owns Infowars and will continue to operate.
Jones has around $8.6 million in personal assets, including a ranch, properties, cars, boats, and guns. His company, which makes most of its money from selling dietary supplements, will still face legal action from the families seeking damages.
Jones had falsely claimed the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax, leading to harassment of the victims’ families.
Although Jones has acknowledged the attack happened, he continues to criticize the justice system and claims a government plot is trying to silence him.
