A Houston bankruptcy judge ruled on Tuesday that Alex Jones's Infowars assets will be auctioned to pay families of Sandy Hook victims, following substantial defamation awards.
The auction will include Infowars' website, broadcasting equipment, product trademarks, and social media accounts. Mr. Jones's fate depends on the auction outcome.
Relatives of the Sandy Hook victims have faced online abuse as a result of Jones's claims, and they sued him for defamation, leading to over $1.4 billion in damages.
Mr. Jones declared bankruptcy, complicating the families' pursuit of compensation, as his combined personal and business assets are worth less than $10 million after legal fees.
