Alex Jones is trying to weasel out of accountability — again. (via TheReidOut Blog)
in Newtown, Connecticut. A trial kicked off last week in Texas to determine how much he will have to pay plaintiffs in one of the cases.
Jones, however, made it clear Monday that he intends to use financial trickery to try to evade a harsh penalty. Jones could be forced to pay $150 million or more in damages in the Texas case alone after he claimed the massacre was a “hoax” involving victims’ families. reports revealed Jones had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
for Free Speech Systems, the media company that owns his Infowars conspiracy theory empire. But others astutely saw this as a ploy to protect his finances from an impending verdict, and Jones all but confirmed that Monday on an episode of his podcast. Ranting about the defamation suits, Jones said he plans to use bankruptcy filings to tie the families up in litigation for “years.”
