After being hit with nearly $1.5 billion in legal judgments last year for negatively impacting the lives of the Sandy Hook shooting victims' families by claiming that the tragedy was a hoax, Alex Jones hasn't really been reaching for his checkbook to make good on those payments. In fact, as recent as September of this year, Christopher Mattei, a Connecticut lawyer for the families, said that they'd yet to receive a dime.
On Friday, Jones made his first real step towards fulfilling his obligation in this matter after hiding behind claims of bankruptcy for months. According to The Guardian, the Infowars conspiracy theorist submitted a 30-page payment plan, offering to pay a lump sum of at least $5.5m a year, to be shared among the plaintiffs. Per their reporting, "the payment would also be accompanied by a percentage of his personal annual revenue, and a slice of Infowars revenue," effectively satisfying his debt after 10 years.
