A US bankruptcy judge on Wednesday blocked a solution among families who have sued Alex Jones for his false claims regarding the massive Sandy Hook elementary school shooting 2012, saying their attempt to share assets of theorist bankrupt the plot exceeded his judicial authority.
The decision complicates a proposed sale of the Infowars Platform of Jones, and could promote divisions among families who sues Jones and earned nearly $ 1.3 billion in Connecticus Court cases and those who earned $ 50 million in Texas courts.
Both groups of households had proposed a solution that would guarantee households in Texas a 25% portion of Jones made to Sandy Hook’s families, with 75% Connecticut families.
US bankruptcy judge Christopher Lopez dismissed the solution at a session in Houston, saying families were asking him to also share the assets of the infotal company, Free Speech Systems, despite the fact that the company was resulted from bankruptcy year passed.
“I can’t do that,” Lopez said. “This case is closed.”
Courts in Connecticut and Texas, where some of the families filed their lawsuits, have placed Jones defamatory families making false claims that shooting at school, which killed 20 students and six staff members in Newton, Conn. organized as part of a government plot to remove weapons away from Americans.
Legal judgments were led by Jones and free speech systems in bankruptcy in 2022, and Lopez has appointed a bankruptcy believer to sell Jones’ assets.
Lopez has allowed free speech systems and Infowars to be sold in Jones’ constant personal bankruptcy. But he said he preferred a “pure sale” of the company’s capital, which is owned by Jones, rather than allowing Infowars’s assets to be demolished and sold separately.
The bankruptcy trustee, Christopher Murray, had previously sought to sell Infowars on the parodic news site The Onion, through an offer that was supported by Connectic’s families. Lopez overthrew that sale in January, saying that Murray “left money on the table” to win the support of Sandy Hook’s families.
“We’re not doing it anymore, I don’t trust the process,” Lopez said. “Go sell capital”.
Family lawyers had said the agreement would implement the way to a sale of Jones ‘assets, including Infowars, following their previous disputes on how to pursue Jones’ assets. In the past, the Texas -based families focused on getting more money from Jones, while families based in Connecticut gave priority to the closure of the Infowars Company of Jones.
Chris Mattei, a lawyer for Connecticut families, said they remain determined to “enforce every penny of judgments against Alex Jones”.
