Alex Jones’ conspiracy website InfoWars parent files for bankruptcy during defamation trial
The parent of far-right conspiracy website InfoWars filed for U.S. bankruptcy protection on Friday as the company and its founder Alex Jones face up to $150-million in damages in a trial over long-standing falsehoods he perpetuated about the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre.
The new bankruptcy filing by parent company Free Speech Systems LLC will also attempt to resolve the defamation lawsuits, but it is not intended to interrupt a trial already under way, according to a court document filed by Marc Schwartz, Free Speech System’s restructuring adviser. The Sandy Hook families had opposed the earlier bankruptcy case as a “sinister” attempt by Jones to shield his assets from liability stemming from defamation lawsuits they had won against him.
