Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.

    I think it’s extremely unlikely he’ll earn a billion dollars before he drops dead of an aneurysm in the middle of a far right screed.

    It’s a thousand million dollars and it’s been years since they needed him to funnel unmedicated schizophrenics into political extremism.

      Yeah I know the number is kinda for show. It’s more to keep him laying indefinitely. Only question is how he even pays the fraction he’ll be able to pay in his lifetime.
