The families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting have asked a judge to liquidate Alex Jones’ media company, which includes his show InfoWars.
The conspiracy theorist, 50, had asked the judge to allow him to reorganize his business as the Sandy Hook families seek to collect on $1.5 billion in lawsuit verdicts against him.
Lawyers for the families filed an emergency motion Sunday in Bankruptcy Court in Houston, saying the company, Free Speech Systems, has ‘no prospect’ of getting a reorganization plan approved by the court and has ‘failed to demonstrate any hope of beginning to satisfy’ their legal claims, which relate to Jones calling the 2012 school shooting a hoax.
A hearing in Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy case was scheduled for Monday related to a dispute over the company’s finances.
It comes after Jones went on his web and radio show over the weekend saying there was a conspiracy against him and he expected Infowars to be shut down in a month or two because of the families’ bankruptcy court filings.
