In a recent broadcast on his show Infowars, controversial right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones revealed his financial struggles and lack of assets in the face of massive defamation judgments related to his lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. Jones stated that his only means of income are the sales of nutritional supplements and continuing to broadcast.

Jones acknowledged that the success of his supplement products heavily relies on his own promotion. He emphasized the importance of his presence on air, as he believes it influences his listeners' purchasing decisions. However, he declared that he will not compromise his principles or become a puppet just to remain on the airwaves.

During the broadcast, Jones expressed his frustration and alleged that he was being unfairly attacked by various institutions, including the FBI, the CIA, the Democratic Party, and the news media. He claimed he was being silenced and shut down.

This revelation comes after Jones requested permission from a judge to convert his bankruptcy filing into a Chapter 7 liquidation process. The purpose of this request is to sell off his assets to help fulfill the $1.5 billion owed to the families of Sandy Hook victims who sued him.

Jones initially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Texas in December 2022, a move criticized by the plaintiffs' lawyers as an attempt to avoid paying the debt. A judge ruled last year that Jones cannot utilize bankruptcy to erase the legal judgments against him, as he had stated in court documents that he possesses around $9 million in personal assets.

Jones' legal team submitted a court filing on Wednesday stating that there is no viable prospect for successfully reorganizing his debts. As a result, liquidation of his assets may include the need to sell his media company, Free Speech Systems, which is also seeking bankruptcy protection.

In an emergency motion filed this week, the plaintiffs expressed their desire for the liquidation of Free Speech Systems. They seek clarity on how Jones intends to meet his financial obligations to them. A motion hearing has been scheduled for next week to review the case.

During his show, Jones also mentioned his reluctance to work with the chief restructuring officer appointed by the bankruptcy court if that person remains involved during the liquidation process.

Christopher Mattei, a lawyer representing the Sandy Hook families, declared that their fight for justice is far from over. He highlighted the extensive efforts made by the families to hold Jones accountable, stating that their focus lies in meaningful accountability rather than just financial compensation. Mattei noted that their determination has brought Jones to the "brink of justice" in the way that matters most.

An attempted bankruptcy settlement between Jones and the Sandy Hook families had previously been rejected. Jones, known for suggesting that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax, had often attributed the misportrayal of his words to the "corporate media" during his trial in Texas in 2022.

As the case proceeds, the Sandy Hook families continue their pursuit of holding Alex Jones responsible, both legally and morally, for the harm caused by his false claims surrounding the tragic event.
