The family of those who died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting asked the judge to liquidate the media company Alex Jones, including Infowars, immediately after the legendary talk show host announced that the federal government had orchestrated a powerful takeover of his broadcasting studio.
Jones previously asked the judge to give him time to reorganize his business because the families of Sandy Hook are demanding the collection of $1.5 billion they were awarded in the outlandish verdict against him.
On Sunday, lawyers for the family filed an emergency motion in Bankruptcy Court in Houston, doubling down on a concerted effort to shut down Infowars.
The Free Speech System, the parent company of Alex Jones, has “no prospect” of developing a reorganization plan that will be approved by the court and has “failed to demonstrate any hope of starting to satisfy” the legal claims that, the lawyer for the families of Sandy Hook. write.
A hearing in Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy case was scheduled for Friday to address the plaintiff’s dispute about the company’s finances.
Jones warned in a live emergency broadcast Saturday that federal agents could lock the studio doors and seize all broadcasting assets amid the family’s bankruptcy court filing.

The Infowars host says he’s even staying at his studio and is prepared to engage local law enforcement to prevent illegal raids on his property.
In a video posted on Friday with the caption, “BREAKING! INFOWARS Could Be Shut Down in 48 Hours,” Jones said, “The deep state thinks they’re going to destroy Trump. And hours after having that wrong belief, they’re taking steps to shut down InfoWars now .
Jones has been vocal about attacks on her platform over the past six years, including de-platforming, deep state meddling, and hijacked trials. Despite these challenges, InfoWars survives thanks to overwhelming public support. However, Jones warned that this latest attack could be the final blow.
“I found out at 4:00 p.m. today, just a few hours ago, that Infowars is going to close and close tonight. We’ve hired security here, a private contractor. They were told, ‘Prepare to close the doors, change the locks, and InfoWars will close, ‘” Jones said Friday.
“I learned about it and said, ‘Well, I’m going to open this up. I’m going to talk about it. It’s all about bankruptcy. It’s not the courts that do it.’ I’m going to reveal who’s behind. So I’m going to make some calls and they’re going to say, ‘Okay, now we’re going to back off if you do X, Y, and Z.’ I don’t believe anything they say. So when I tell you that this could be the last event I ever do from Infowars, there’s a 50% chance of what’s happening now,” he said.
Liquidation requires Jones to hand over his company, assets and most of what he owns to his creditors, including Sandy Hook families.
Your home and personal belongings will be exempt from bankruptcy liquidation.
The court has yet to rule on liquidation in the Jones case.
On December 14, 2012, a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut left 20 children and six staff members dead. Adam Lanza killed children at Sandy Hook school. Lanza’s estate paid the Sandy Hook family $1.5 million in total in the lawsuit.
Jones surmised at the time on-air that the US government could falsify or hide information about the shooting and speculated the massacre could have been staged to serve as a pretext or gun control.
Many families of Sandy Hook victims sued Jones and won two trials in Connecticut and Texas. The relatives insisted they were traumatized by Jones’ comments and that his fans harassed and threatened him with death threats for years.
Jones’s defense is his right to free speech and that he is not responsible for the harassment. He lost.
Jones “in many cases never mentioned the names of the many plaintiffs who sued him,” Infowars reports. “In the second-highest settlement for the plaintiffs, the jury awarded FBI agent William Aldenberg – who was never named Jones – $90 million in compensatory damages, even though he was not related to the children or staff killed in the mass shooting. “
Last year, Jones resigned to file for bankruptcy for himself and Free Speech Systems after a Connecticut jury ordered him to pay $965 million in damages to 15 relatives of the victims and an additional $473 million in attorney fees for spreading “misinformation.”
In October, Texas U.S. District Judge Christopher Lopez ruled that Jones could not use bankruptcy protection to avoid paying money to the families of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.
As the Daily Mail reports:
If the case is withdrawn, Jones will return to the position he was in after the $1.5 billion was awarded in the lawsuit and will send his efforts to collect damages back to the state court where the verdict was entered.
…
According to the most recent financial statements filed in bankruptcy court, Jones personally has about $9 million in assets including a $2.6 million Austin-area home and other real estate. He also listed living expenses of about $69,000 for April alone, including about $16,500 for expenses on his home including maintenance, housing and insurance.
Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, which employs 44 people, had nearly $4 million in cash at the end of April. The business brought in nearly $3.2 million in April, including from the sale of dietary supplements, clothing and other items Jones promotes on his show, while accounting for $1.9 million in expenses.
Jones and the Sandy Hook family have offered a variety of proposals to settle their $1.5 billion debt. Last year, Free Speech Systems filed a plan that would leave $7 million to $10 million a year to pay off debt.
The family then argued for their own proposal: liquidate Jones’s estate and deal with creditors, or pay at least $8.5 million a year for 10 years – plus 50 percent of his income of more than $9 million a year.
