Alex Jones has been accused of funneling millions of dollars to himself and his relatives while claiming bankruptcy in a bid to avoid compensating families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
The families of nine Sandy Hook victims filed a motion on Thursday in a federal bankruptcy court in Houston, requesting that Jones give up control of Free Speech Systems, the parent company of his far-right, conspiracy website Infowars.
The bombastic internet personality previously used the platform to declare the 2012 massacre a hoax involving crisis actors, triggering a series of defamation lawsuits filed by those impacted by the school shooting.
