Alex Jones, King of the Jerks

[happyhoix]

Jones is currently on trial to determine how much money he’ll have to pay to the parents of one of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims in 2012. 

For anyone fortunate enough not to know who Jones is, he broadcast a stupid conspiracy theory that the shooting didn’t actually happen, but was made up by the media and liberals as a way to grab everyone’s guns. The children weren’t actually killed, but were child actors. Because of his stupid big mouth asshole behavior, the parents of those poor children were subjected to death threats from whack jobs, making an unreliable nightmare somehow even worse. 

In the trial, Jones’ lawyer tried to claim that Jone’s life was also ruined by being kicked off social media, and that some people even got the idea that Jones was responsible for killing all those kids. The horror!

Pile that bullshit on top of his three companies trying to declare bankruptcy as a way to hide his money from these parents (he wasn’t allowed to) and one of his lawyers giving the parent’s lawyer the bird in court - followed by Jones whining to the media afterwards about how it was just a ‘kangaroo court’ and an assault on free speech - and wow. What a hideous human. I’m not allowed to hope he gets killed in some messy way, but I think I’m allowed to say that should he suddenly die in a horrible way, it will be a ‘meh’ moment for me.

I like your thread title. No sympathy from me for Alex Jones feeling discomfort from his own actions. If people thought he was responsible for killing all those kids, it is not less than he deserves.

Alex Jones' company files for bankruptcy amid Texas trial to award damages to Sandy Hook families

Business)Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' primary company filed for bankruptcy protection on Friday, an unexpected move that comes as a trial is underway in Texas to determine how much in damages he will have to pay the families of two Sandy Hook victims who sued and won a default judgment against him.

Jones' decision to seek bankruptcy protection for his company, Free Speech Systems, which operates the right-wing conspiratorial outlet Infowars, also comes after he was found legally responsible in a separate defamation case in Connecticut.

In that Connecticut case, a different group of families similarly sued Jones over false claims he made about the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting.

Three smaller companies tied to Jones declared bankruptcy earlier this year, briefly pausing the cases in both Texas and Connecticut. But the families suing Jones dropped the three smaller companies from their lawsuits so that the cases could move forward against Jones and Free Speech Systems. Shortly after, the three companies exited bankruptcy protection.

In a bizarre legal twist, Jones also filed a complaint Thursday against his own company in Connecticut, a move that could further delay proceedings in the Connecticut trial.

The attorney representing Jones in the Texas defamation case, Federico Andino Reynal, made the disclosure about the bankruptcy filing at the end of court proceedings on Friday.

Reynal said that the bankruptcy filing should not impact the trial underway. The judge overseeing the trial said proceedings in the case will continue on Monday.

It's unclear, however, how the move will impact matters after the jury decides on damages. It's also unclear how the move will impact the case in Connecticut. An attorney representing the plaintiffs in Texas didn't immediately have a comment. Christopher Mattei, an attorney representing some of the Sandy Hook families in Connecticut, issued a scathing statement to CNN about Jones' move.

"Just two days before jury selection is due to begin in Connecticut, Mr. Jones has once again fled like a coward to bankruptcy court in a transparent attempt to delay facing the families that he has spent years hurting," Mattei said. "These families have an endless well of patience and remain determined to hold Mr. Jones accountable in a Connecticut court.

The bankruptcy filing submitted into court on Friday sheds enormous light on Jones' opaque business.

The filing said that Free Speech Systems had made $13.1 million in gross profit in 2021 and $9.3 million in gross profit in the first five months of 2022.

But the document indicated that Free Speech Systems had $14.3 million in total liabilities and equity as of May 31, 2022.

Earlier this week, the lawyer for the two Sandy Hook families suing Jones in Texas, Mark Bankston, asked the jury to award his clients $150 million in damages.

"Now that is a huge verdict to be sure, but it is one that will do justice to the level of harm done in this case," Bankston told the jury in his opening statement.

"Harm that was done to the parents, grieving parents of murdered children who have had to endure for 10 years, the most despicable and vile campaign of defamation and slander in American history," Bankston added.

I think a judge has the right to deny bankruptcy proceedings. This move, if unsubstantiated won't work, but it could delay the final ruling. I suspect he will vanish to another country with a private stash of cash...

Yeah but can he really disappear? He strikes me as the same kind of personality as Trump - needs to always be at the center of attention, figured out long ago being outrageous garners attention, and now says whatever random shit enters his mind. Can he really just retire anonymously somewhere and stay under the radar? 

I think he’d become suicidal if he no longer had an audience. Like he wouldn’t exist if he couldn’t see himself reflected from a sea of followers. 

Maybe he’ll wind up as a tin plated dictator/war lord of a third world nation and then get assassinated - fingers crossed.

Sandy Hook Lawyers Rip Bankruptcy Bid By 'Coward' Alex Jones To Dodge Damages

Lawyers for Sandy Hook parents who successfully sued Donald Trump ally Alex Jones for his relentless lies about the mass killing are blasting him for now trying to use bankruptcy protection laws to dodge paying defamation damages.

“Just two days before jury selection is due to begin in Connecticut, Mr. Jones has once again fled like a coward to bankruptcy court in a transparent attempt to delay facing the families that he has spent years hurting,” Chris Matei, a lawyer for the families, said in a statement.

The extremist right-wing podcaster was found liable for defamation last year for repeatedly insisting that the 20 first-grade children (and six adults) killed in a mass shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2018 — and their devastated parents — were acting as part of a fake anti-gun stunt staged by the U.S. government.

On top of the excruciating tragedy, families were then forced to deal with harassment and death threats from Jones’ unleashed fans.

A trial to determine damages began last week in a defamation case in Texas, where Infowars is located, and another begins this week in Connecticut. Last Friday, Jones suddenly declared bankruptcy for Infowars’ parent company. He signed a Chapter 11 petition to protect Infowars parent Free Speech Systems LLC, his co-defendant in both defamation cases.

Jones attempted — and dropped — a similar ploy earlier this year when he declared bankruptcy for Infowars and trademark and web-domain rights holding companies in a bid to force a restrictive monetary settlement with the Sandy Hook families.

Infowars reportedly rakes in $50 million a year peddling diet supplements, conspiracy videos and books, and body armor.

Alex Jones accuses judge of 'corruption' in the middle of ongoing trial

Alex Jones is deploying the curious tactic of going on the attack against the judge in his case as a jury in four lawsuits will decide how much Jones must give to the families of Sandy Hook victims.

Jones was sued for lying that the Sandy Hook massacre never happened and it was all fake. That prompted attacks from Jones' viewers, who would send threats, and other forms of attacking the families. In one case, the family of a victim was forced to move 12 times to escape the attacks.

In a special live broadcast, Jones said that the judge in his case sanctioned him over $1 million after he failed to meet deadlines to produce documents and information. Jones swears he delivered everything that was requested.

“Discovery isn’t supposed to be a guessing game,” Fairfield District Superior Court, Judge Barbara Bellis said. She explained that a default judgment is a kind of sanction of last resort. That doesn't fall under a jury's decisions. “The court held off on scheduling the sanctions hearing in the hopes that many of these problems would be corrected and that the Jones defendants would ultimately comply with their discovery obligations."

"I'm honored to be attacked by this system, but it's still scary, up close, to see the corruption goes all the way down to the local court systems," said Jones.

He's also complaining that there was no jury in the case, though it's unclear which case he's talking about as there was a jury verdict in the Sandy Hook case.

Last month, Jones changed the name of the parent company InfoWars LLC to InfoW LLC so anyone reporting InfoWars was filing for bankruptcy could technically be incorrect, Texas Monthly reported.

"Two judges, one in Austin and one in Newtown, issued default judgments against the defense—finding that because Jones and his rotating cast of attorneys had failed over the course of three years to participate in the legal process in good faith, his liability would be accepted by the courts as a matter of fact," the report characterized. "(Default judgments are highly uncommon, reserved for situations in which a judge has determined that one party’s lack of participation amounts to a failure to respond to the lawsuit.)"

Those aren't jury decisions. If Jones had cooperated with the court his case would have appeared before a jury. The jury now will decide in four cases how much he owes to Sandy Hook victims.

Ahead of the verdict, Jones' attorneys rushed to declare bankruptcy for their client. The bankruptcy court will still require Jones to publish his financial document unless he files as a small Texas business.

“There's all sorts of protections that are supposed to be designed for a swift, quick bankruptcy with not a lot of oversight — the kind of oversight you’d see in a normal bankruptcy — because it's designed for small businesses,” lawyer Avi Moshenberg told the Texas Tribune. He explained that Jones' company, Free Speech Systems is trying to take advantage of that lack of oversight in these cases.

I wonder if anyone ever called a judge viewing their case as ‘corrupt’ and had that work out well for them.

He must be a delight for his rotating cast of lawyers.

How does Alex Jones sleep at night??    How does anyone who works on his show sleep at night??   How does he (and anyone who works on his show) get thru that quiet time when you are alone with yourself - just before falling asleep??     What do they tell themselves??     


Just wondering what people who do horrible things tell themselves to make themselves feel better about themselves.


His children must be so proud of their father.   I wonder how they get thru the night, too.   And his wife.


There are a lot of people involved this.    


I don't really need any answers.

Either his lawyers are idiots, or they hate him.  They gave ALL of his messages to the prosecution, who properly asked if any were protected.  No response.  So after 10 days they are fair game, proving he lied lied lied.

Just saw an article on that -

www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/sandy-hook-lawyers-say-alex-jones-s-attorneys-accidentally-gave-them-his-phone-contents/ar-AA10haKb?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=7f8c3a777bdf47dba9cd75bd0e5b379c


The apparent blunder, revealed by attorney Mark Bankston as Jones was on the stand in the damages phase of his defamation trial, unearthed previously undisclosed texts about the massacre and financial information about Infowars. Bankston, who represents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, told the far-right purveyor of conspiracy theories that his attorneys had “messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cellphone.”

“And that is how I know you lied to me when you said you didn’t have text messages about Sandy Hook,” Bankston said.

While confronting Jones about the newly discovered text messages in court Wednesday, Bankston displayed one of them, in which an editor who worked for Jones sent him a screenshot of an Infowars article claiming a hospital was using dummies in a coronavirus ward. The editor, Paul Watson, wrote that it “makes us look ridiculous” and added, “Sandy Hook all over again.” Jones texted back, “I get it.”



Bankston also asked about his emails. He noted that Jones had testified he did not have any about Sandy Hook because he doesn’t use email. Jones said in court, “Yes. I personally do not get on the internet and sit there and use email. I’ve never sent emails myself. Because I don’t like it. I can’t stand it. There’s too many of them.”



The attorney then displayed emails he said Jones had sent to lawyers, staff and others about business operations.

So the Rolling Stone is now reporting the J6 committee is getting ready to request the three years of cell phone records accidentally released during this trial.

During The insurrection Jones was in the capital and in contact with the oathkeepers who were supposed to be offering him security protection.

Interesting thing on the phone, Jones lawyer accidentally sent the whole cell phone contents to the court. The court waited 10 days to see if they would ask for them back, when they didn’t, the court gave them to the opposite side.

Seems like jones could have a case against his lawyers.

A jury ordered Infowars host Alex Jones to pay $4.1 million to 2 Sandy Hook parents — far less than what attorneys requested

A Texas jury found that Infowars' Alex Jones must pay $4.1 million in compensatory damages to two parents whose son was killed in the Sandy Hook massacre over the far-right conspiracy theorist's repeated bogus claims that the mass shooting was a "hoax."

Ten of twelve jurors in Jones' defamation damages trial in Austin, Texas, awarded the money to Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was one of the 26 killed in the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, rampage.

Jones, who testified during the more than week-long trial in his own defense, previously told the court that Infowars raked in $70 million in revenue last year but that "any compensation above $2 million will sink us, and we will shut down."

Jones will now face the possibility of further punitive damages the jury could award the parents.

Heslin and Lewis sued Jones, the founder of Infowars, and his media company Free Speech Systems for defamation over his falsehoods about the mass shooting that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead.

Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy protection last week.

The parents — who are among several Sandy Hook families to have sued Jones for defamation — have asked for $150 million in compensation for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress in the civil case, while Jones' attorney asked that the jury make his client pay no more than $8.

Both Heslin and Lewis testified during the trial that they endured years of torment, harassment, and death threats stemming from Jones repeatedly telling his audience that the Sandy Hook shooting was a "giant hoax" staged by the government with "crisis actors."

Heslin told the court that Jones made his life a "living hell" as a result of the "negligence and recklessness" of Jones "and the propaganda that he peddled for his own profits and success."

"Alex is the one with the match that started the fire," said Heslin who testified that his home has been shot at.

Lewis said the harassment she received from Jones' followers made her feel "victimized."

"It's fear for your life," Lewis told the court, which heard how the mother sleeps with a gun, knife, and pepper spray near the bed.

Jones led a decade-long "massive campaign of lies" about the deadliest school shooting in United States history and "recruited wild extremists from fringes of the internet who were willing to be as cruel as Mr. Jones needed them to be," an attorney for the parents said during his opening statements in the case.

The founder and host of the Austin-based Infowars has already been found liable by default by the Texas court and a court in Connecticut for his depiction of the rampage. The judges ruled against Jones last year after he failed to turn over court-ordered documents and financial records.

Jones — who only attended some of the trial and even broadcasted about it throughout the case — testified on Wednesday that he realizes his messages about the Sandy Hook shooting were irresponsible.

"Especially since I've met the parents. It's 100% real," Jones said of the Sandy Hook massacre.

Jones added, "I do acknowledge that I unintentionally took part in things that did hurt these people's feelings, and I am sorry for that."

While Jones was on the witness stand, he attempted to downplay Infowars' coverage of the Sandy Hook massacre, saying it was "less than 1/10 percent" over a six-year period.

The trial took a bizarre turn during Jones' testimony when an attorney for Heslin and Lewis revealed in court that Jones' defense attorney "messed up" and sent him a digital copy of Jones's cell phone.

The copy of Jones' phone showed a text about the Sandy Hook massacre that Jones claimed did not exist, as well as financial information for Infowars that Jones didn't turn over during deposition in that case.

"That is how I know you lied to me when you said you didn't have text messages about Sandy Hook," plaintiff attorney Mark Bankston told Jones.

During his closing arguments, Jones' defense attorney, F. Andino Reynal, argued that his client "ran with a story and he made a mistake."

"He trusted the wrong people. He was going through a difficult time in his life and he ran with a story that ended up being false," Reynal told the jury. "That mistake was weaponized by the same political forces that descended upon Sandy Hook."

Reynal claimed that "zero evidence deserves minimal damages" and said the jury should award the parents the smallest amount possible: $8.

In his closing remarks, one of the Sandy Hook family attorneys, Kyle Farrar, asked jurors, "what did it mean for Jones to steal their last memory in order to sell more products?"

Farrar insisted on Wednesday that the parents deserved $150 million in total damages from Jones.

"We apparently are still living in this Alex Jones conspiracy world – where you guys were handpicked by the clerk and the judge is the deep state. Because that's the conspiracy theory that Alex Jones wants to tell the world when he has to pay," Farrar said. "This verdict is your weapon to right a serious wrong."

The trial is the first of three in which juries will determine how much Jones must pay in damages to Sandy Hook families.

While I think you are correct that an admission of fault here could be used in other cases, that isn't what the quote is referencing. In a case such as this there are two areas that can result in a financial burden. Compensatory damages are to make up for what you caused the person to lose, to make them "whole". Punitive damages are to punish. Kinda like when you were a kid. You had to clean up the eggs you threw at your neighbor's house and you were grounded for a month.
