After being found liable for spreading false information about the Sandy Hook school shooting, a Connecticut jury has ordered far-right talk show host Alex Jones to liquidate his personal assets to pay damages to eight grieving families.
On Wednesday, the families of the victims were awarded nearly $1 billion in damages from Jones and his media company, Infowars. The extensive lies and conspiracy theories propagated by Jones have caused immense pain and suffering to the families who lost loved ones in the tragic shooting.
As of now, Jones is estimated to owe $1.5 billion in damages. The court has ordered him to disclose all of his personal assets, including jewelry, cars, and real estate. The liquidation process will be supervised by an independent receiver, and the proceeds will be distributed to the families.
