A federal judge is expected to approve an order forcing Alex Jones to disassemble Infowars, the conspiracy theory peddling media platform he created in 1999, so that it can be auctioned off in fragments in order to help pay off the $1.5 billion its founder owes relatives of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
The auction, which U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston is set to approve and will begin in November, will allow attendees to buy Infowars' website, social media accounts, broadcasting equipment, product trademarks and inventory owned by Infowars' parent company, Free Speech Systems.
