14 years...that's how long it took for him to see the consequences of his actions. Unacceptable.
he had a boost during covid, when MTG was harrasing the survivors too for a short time.
fucking wizards of the coast man \s
And we all know unless he goes to jail for his debts he won't pay anything to anyone.
Jailing people for debt is a terrible idea. Just garnish his pay and seize his assets.
He's hiding his assets in plain sight and the courts are letting him get away with it.
Then he should be jailed for the act of hiding them, not for the debt itself
And everyone who helped him hide them too. His dad "owns" tons of his assets.
Yeah, that is not the end of him nor his money.
They just let him put everything into his new business and I would not be shocked if he will see some of the money the onion has to pay for infowars now.
The rich have class consciousness, the poor don't.

I think this already been done.. hence The Onion taking over infowars.com.. or.. is that on hold?
Not sure..
The problem is that he hid most of his assets and is trying to pretend to the court that he is broke
Ah, but that's jail time if they prove it.
Oh, sorry no. Your are in the bad american timeline.
He hasn’t seen consequences. A ruling against you means nothing if it’s not enforced. And there have been no legal consequences either for the blatantly highly illegal stuff that was found when he accidentally cloned his phone and handed it over to the prosecution
It's been 14 years since sandy hook happened?!
enough time for david hogg one of the survivors to get into the DNC temporarily.
I had to Google it, and if you want to be pedantic, it was technically 13 years and 5 months ago. Definitely horrific it's been so long either way.
And he's still sticking to his shit conspiracy about it.
It's absolutely crazy the gymnastics the judicial system is making to keep Jones on the air and prevent the families of the Sandy Hook victims from seeing restitution.
This shutdown was Jones's decision not the courts or The Onion:
A judge granted Jones’ request to block the sale, arguing that another offer by a company that happened to operate Jones’ online supplements store had been higher. But in April, there seemed to be a workaround — Jones’ estate had run out of money and instead of buying it in an auction, The Onion could just pay rent in a licensing deal. On Wednesday, a Texas appeals court stopped the transfer again, temporarily blocking the asset handover.
And so it seems Jones, unable to pay the rent, left on his own accord.
like other Manosphere grifters, hes important for bringing young men into conservative/conspiracy influence. thats why musk was funding him.
The Knowledge Fight guys said he already redirected his audience to buy his snake oil on another site anyway. He doesn't need IW anymore to continue his grift.
How does a man who owes a BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES stil own ANYTHING?? there is no justice to be had in our system. Anything that looks like it is purely coincidence.
Always remember the justice system will protect a certain class of people.
It’s a big club and we ain’t in it.
"The Jury voted against Jones, therefore it means he gets to keep InfoWars and also not pay them." is wild.
It's not like it's a secret of Alex Jonesy is doing. We all know that he's transferring assets and still maintaining control over the assests.
The Courts are like "I dunno man. If we start cracking down on this balant actions. The rich might have to be held accountable."
That's honestly beside the point. This case wasn't about his "grift" it was about harassment of the Sandy Hook families, who have not seen a penny from Jones yet, despite winning the case two years ago. The judge tried to come up with convoluted logic to make sure Jones retains control of IW despite, again, losing the case the judge presided over. It's insanity.
What bridge does he live under? Because he doesn't live in a house, right? Because if he lives in a house, then confiscate it, sell it, and give the money to his victims. Then he can go live under a bridge.
remember he had wagner recruitment advertisements on his show.
I can't even remember all the things he's done anymore. It's been too long.
All hail the Onion!
Monday -
Alex Jones: It's a lie! I'm still in control of the studio!
Friday -
Studio locked. Lights out. Alex isn't in control anymore.
He's not going anywhere. He stalled the process for so long he already moved a lot of his money and audience to a different platform he doesn't own.
he gave it to friends and families and llc, dont know if he hid them international banks, but the family will take forever to get any significant money back.
Loosing the brand is a big deal. But not as big of a deal as being de-platformed. Alex's troupe is a ghost compared to what Info Wars was in 2015.
What Alex has accomplished is dragging this out until a time when right-wing media is in decline nationally. Yea, Alex is still around, the same way Blockbuster has a store or two.

Dude looks like he's trying passing a kidney stone.
With all the shit he puts in his body, they're probably more stone than kidneys at this point

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving individual.
Suck it Jones
Does that moment where he turned up and lost it at the onion count as a Jones ep?
So what's his next site?
Is prison planet still his?
Another comment also answered, but he has moved to "The Alex Jones Network" owned by Bigly. It's a bullshit move that pulled a lot of assets out of the bankruptcy.
