Why does he have to 'agree to' anything? He lost a significant civil judgment and owes what he owes. Aren't there collection agencies who will do this for him whether he likes it or not? Perhaps the plaintiffs could use a (not insignificant) portion of their judgment to hire some help to collect from him?


Pikeman212a6c

The walls are closing in and his lame grade school antics of transferring ownership last minute have all been shot down. It makes sense to take the hit now get liquidated and aim towards a future where he can start making money again.


BannedSvenhoek86

Guarantee he got a deal to go on Crowder or Tuckers channels and that's the only reason he agreed to it. He knew it was coming last week which is why he had his big baby breakdown. This is him "controlling his own destiny" in his own way.


Sillbinger

It doesn't matter, as long as dumb people have money he will find a way to take it from them.

He isn't going to generate any real lrofits for a very long time. He owes a Billion and Info Wars is only worth a couple Million.


Pikeman212a6c

Forgot he can’t discharge this through bankruptcy. What an idiot.


Kenji_03

He could have tried to file for bankruptcy and fought for ownership or tried to sneak around it by having some shadow buyer. Obviously he was unable to do this, and I could not be happier for it


thats1evildude

I believe he did try filing for bankruptcy in a bid [to get out of paying the judgement.](https://apnews.com/article/alex-jones-infowars-bankruptcy-6c9f816e7328120113e5cf2b1987200e) It didn’t work.


ofrm1

That was obviously a stall tactic. You don't even need to be an attorney to know that discharging that judgment wasn't possible. You just need to be able to read and understand the bankruptcy code because 'malicious injury' is listed as one of the exceptions of discharging debt. It's just like Trump won't be able to discharge his civil fraud judgment of half a billion dollars because fraud is also an exception to discharge. But you know he'll try it because it stalls payment of the judgment.


Kenji_03

Which is why I am "uplifted" by the "news" that he has to sell his company


Wolfram_And_Hart

He already tried that among other things to hide and keep assets


r2k-in-the-vortex

No he doesn't have to agree, of course the court's decision can be enforced anyway, but it goes smoother and less painfully all around if he does agree.


hotfezz81

"Agree" in this context meaning "avoids jail by handing over the keys"


TyroneLeinster

I’m sure there are numerous ways in which he could approach making the payments. Liquidating his assets is one of them, and he’s agreed to do that rather than fight it or drag it out. The same way that somebody with a warrant can agree to enter custody, as opposed to make a run for it.


rtopps43

If they could hire someone to make sure he can never speak into a microphone again that would be great. If I never hear his voice again it will be too soon.


Ryslan95

Because the justice system works differently for the rich and powerful. Just look at Donald Trump. If any regular citizen pulled the shit he did I guarantee it wouldn’t take nearly 4 years to put that person in prison.


radiocate

I'm loving all the recent schadenfreude. Steve Bannon goin' to prison next week, Trump convicted of 34 felonies, and this bag of shit losing everything.  Keep it coming.

CNN got it right here “Over the years, Jones has not only used the media company to poison the public discourse with vile lies and conspiracy theories, but also to enrich himself to the tune of millions of dollars.”


jadedaslife

Who pays him?


STFU-Sanguinet

He makes money selling shitty supplements


r31ya

*"Tactical tissue that specially design to wipe the area between your balls and asshole without turning you gay"* one of the thing he shill, might not remember the exact wording but yeah...

His anti lead pills actually have a shitload of lead in them.

'you see folks... lead, like Races... Now I'm not sayin' I'm a racist or anything, just saying the facts, even though some people don't like 'em, call me a racist for saying what's true... But folks, the new world order doesn't want you to know this. They want you to play into their scheme, buy into the racism and intolerance and all that... So you see folks... Lead likes to stick together, like races. Not spreading around. It's science, you pour some mercury in a tube and it all globs together, okay folks? What does it do? It doesn't spread around as far as it can go, it sticks together. Lead does that too... inside the body. Now we here at Infowars, we do our research, and, and, we get all the facts before we pick a supplier, and I've inspected these factories personally, gone over it with the scientists, read all the papers... Okay? I've invested *years* of my life into learning everything I can about this. And these babies will suck the lead right out of you, [*slurp*], just like that... It's only a matter of time before the government cronies come and shut it down, take it off the store, telling people they can't buy it, but folks, you get in there now? It's 20% off. now you aren't going to see a better deal than that, we're practically giving these away to pay our bills, pay our, our legal fees... ... ...Gawd. It's only a matter of time, folks. They're shutting us down, folks. Maybe this'll be our final broadcast. They're shuTTING US DOWN folks!' (Personally, I think I'm nailing the Jones style. Maybe more pauses...)


OJezu

Just like anti iodine pills do. I don't get what the fuss is about /s


Cheeseyex

This is a joke right? There’s no way someone came up with this and people actually buy it. Edit: dear god it’s real and the listing specifically calls out that you can use the “tactical bath” wet wipes on your perineum.


Granite_0681

Supplements from his dad’s company


Ruyzaki187

That's a pretty recent setup since (I want to say) the vertict came out. The company under has dad's name was set up by Alex as a way to try hiding money from the ruling. Previously, it was a company he owned that he was purchasing from the likes of My Patriot Supply, then reselling to Info Wars. The previous setup led to a pretty asinine hearing last week where he was trying to use his 'supplier' company to force his own station closed. I'm presuming to try and save face as well as trying to hide away as much money as possible.


TheRealProtozoid

Has he had any big orders from Russia in the last 7 years or so?


SwedishCommie

He also tries to put the audience into a state of fear by talking about nuclear Armageddon being around the corner and he can solve that by selling you gold and buckets of survival food. That famous clip of him screaming about chemicals turning frogs gay was preceded by him shilling a bus sized water filtration system to remove those chemicals.


gandalf_el_brown

His listeners buying whatever items he's grifting


NonPolarVortex

Stupid people stupididing


redunculuspanda

Other than sales he’s also had a lot of money funnelled to him in other ways. He go about 8 million in bit coin sent to him in 2022.


SuchRoad

The right wing hate speech machine is propping him up with shady crypto.

A terrible man, just the worst.

It took a long time before he had to face reality.

SnooDingos5420

Live in Berkeley, California, an ultra liberal place, and even I know some people that buy his supplements and listen to his show.  Can't fathom how many minds he has poisoned with his paranoia/marketing.


r31ya

i watch one streamer whose mom is deep in this shit, he ended having boxes upon boxes of thing he shills. he tried to help her or change her but nope, remain that way till the very end it seems.


score_

Got family members I can barely talk to anymore because he poisoned their minds so badly.  May he fucking rot in his own version of hell.


Specialist_Lock8590

Good riddance! Ignoring so many dead children and abusing their parents on social media for views and profits? Such a wonderful example of MAGA, Republican "Christianity"!

toxiamaple

Alex Jones used the tragedy of children to make money for himself. He is the lowest of the low.


neihuffda

How do? I gotta admit i haven't heard about this.


KrazeeJ

He repeatedly claimed that the Sandy Hook shooting was faked, that all the parents on TV grieving the deaths of their children were actors being paid by the government, and encouraged his audience to harass them.


[deleted]

And then people who follow him repeatedly harassed the grieving parents, spewing vile hatred at them. Can you fucking imagine... your 5 yo gets gunned down in school and people are harassing you about his insane claims? So these people lawyered up and sued him. He continued to be a belligerent ass through years of litigation but they eventually won a huge civil judgment that they are now trying to collect.

He shouldn't get to "agree" to anything. He should be forced to give up everything he has, everything he will get in the future, and live in utter destitution until he dies completely penniless and forgotten


No-Mastodon-2136

Take every penny from this clown for the rest of his days. Hound him mercilessly for every cent like he's hounded so many others. This man deserves every ounce of negative energy he gets back from life. He's put far too much in it.

deja_geek

Sell it to who?? The only people who’d be willing to buy it are just as shitty as him. He’ll sell it to someone and then get hired to run Infowars.


Cryptshadow

theyd be selling the assets, so cameras, phones, office buildings, chairs,desks, etc etc


papejay88

I work in the liquidation world. You get pennies on the dollar spent.


Cryptshadow

aye, prob true and honestly i don't know if the families would care of the value of the shit sold this is their revenge for all the shit this guy put their families through. Plus from what the article said its gonna be mostly his assets, not the company that owns info wars ( because accounting fuckery) whats gonna cost him the owner ship of infowars and prob be a nice chunk of change are all the shares Jones has, possibly some homes he owns as well and who knows what else. And im sure someone else would buy up the right for infowars. theres prob money in it or some other crazy millionaire/billionaire willing to buy it and then hire jones back or something


tpapocalypse

Even better in a way.


SyrusDrake

This. I'm not sure how this would fundamentally change things. He's too lucrative and useful for the far-right to just vanish. He'll find a way to come back, like herpes.


newaccountzuerich

His life expectancy is fairly low though, with the long-term effects of his "supplements" and steroidal abuse including a shortened lifespan. I do look forwards to seeing this man in penury for his choices and behaviours. The worst thing being that this abrasive asshole is now more useful as a possible martyr for the Right than as a functional member of society. Will he be Epsteined?


Dr_Hexagon

He could fuck off to Russia, Putin would probably give him a show on RT as long as he keeps attacking the US establishment.


octopusboots

Oh my, that is uplifting.


TheDukeofArgyle

Hahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahah

Good, but not enough.


femnoir

Does this absolve him forever after this? Meaning, does he get to start up another studio and not pay his victims? I appreciate they are getting something, but he should have to pay the entire amount.


Civil_Pain_453

He should be in jail as well. He’s complete and utter trash


Ok_Average_1893

Alex Jones having to liquidate his assets to pay for the harm he caused by spreading lies is simply AWESOME!!!!

all of this could have easily been avoided for him if he just didn't keep harping on it lol, imagine losing millions of dollars because you thought children were pretending when they were being murdered. what an idiot.

Guaranteed. He’s already doing right now as we speak he’s pacing around profusely sweating in a blue tiptop tailors mall suit plotting some bumbling scheme that absolutely is as stupid as the stuff he said to get him here.


maniacreturns

Cant wait to see what right wing dark money traitors buy Infowars and keep it running...


taglius

Why does he get to agree or disagree? Wasn’t he ordered by a court to do so?


Welder_Subject

He agreed? Did he have a choice?


Shackmeoff

Agreed to? Isn’t he being forced to? Makes it seem like he’s in control.


BarryZZZ

I won't be satisfied until he is reduced to sleeping on park benches with newspaper blankets.

Sadly, there will always be people willing to pay for him to shout hate-filled, crazy ramblings at them.

I want to see this man penniless and in actual gutters, begging for scraps, and just a parade of his victims walking by saying, “No.” This is a fantastic start.

Good. He's used Infowars to spread disinformation and hatred. The *least* that can happen is that he loses ownership of it so he can't spread anymore of his poison.

Imagine torturing parents of slaughtered children for your exploitative misinformation business. That’s the psychopathy of capitalism summed up. The fact that there are actual consequences at least means America isn’t past the brink of being salvageable as a society.

smashteapot

I’m sure he’s siphoned off as much as he possibly can to avoid the consequences of his grift. It’s amazing how quickly a teenager with a few grams of weed can end up locked in a cell, but a sociopath who lies for money and causes incredible harm to others and society itself will be granted unlimited opportunities to delay. The justice system is unfair in its treatment of the rich. Money should not entitle you to behave like an evil bastard.

As someone that knows nothing about infowars and heard a little about Sandy Hook, can someone explain in an imparcial way please? I know he is the dude of the "friking frogs gay" meme.


mzk131

Sandy Hook, someone shot up a grade school killing 26 6 year olds and teachers. Alex Jones owns infowars and has been spreading bullshit stories that Sandy Hook was a hoax. His followers harassed the parents relentlessly for years. Th parents sued and won millions of dollars so he has to sell his shit to pay for it. (Might not be exact numbers above but he is 100% a piece of shit for tormenting grieving parents for years)


Cartina

They won a total of 1.5 billion dollars in damages.


BadEnvironmental2883

After sandy hook he spread nonstop disinformation about the shooting. The biggest being that there were no victims and they were all crisis actors. He encouraged his disgusting minions to dox and abuse the parents. Imagine seeing your little girl or boy faces ripped apart and unrecognizable from gunshots and get told you're a fucking liar and your kid isn't dead. They continued to harass the parents more and more making fun of them and their loses. He encouraged all of it. He and anyone that listens to him are the ultimate of lowlife inhuman scum
