A bankruptcy judge ruled Tuesday that a court-appointed trustee can proceed with plans to dissolve Alex Jones' media company and auction off its assets, with the proceeds going to families of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting victims. Attorneys representing those families told NPR that the decision is “a significant step forward” toward a “fair and equitable” resolution for the families, who sued Jones for inciting harassment against them by repeatedly claiming that the shooting was a false-flag operation in which no one actually died.
Free Speech Systems (FSS), the Jones-owned parent company of his far-right conspiracy website InfoWars, "will now be sold at auction, meaning Alex Jones will no longer own or control the company he built,” said attorney Chris Mattei. “This brings the families closer to their goal of holding him accountable for the harm he has caused."
