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.

    Jones hired good lawyers, then fired them, then hired more, then fired them, then hired more, then fired them… etc.

    During the sandyhook trials he went through something like 30 lawyers. Often the parents lawyers interacted with a different set of lawyers basically on every deposition.

    I have to imagine Jones’s lawyers told him to STFU, which he never could do.
