Alex Jones Ordered to Pay $1.1 Billion to Sandy Hook Families Despite Bankruptcy


Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $1.1 billion to the families of Sandy Hook victims, despite filing for bankruptcy.

A Texas jury awarded the damages to the families on Wednesday, after finding that Jones had defamed them by repeatedly claiming that the 2012 shooting was a hoax.

Jones has been calling the Sandy Hook shooting a hoax since shortly after it happened. He has claimed that the shooting was staged by the government in order to take away guns from Americans.

The families of the victims have sued Jones for defamation, arguing that his claims have caused them emotional distress.

Jones has denied any wrongdoing, but he has been found liable for defamation in several other lawsuits related to the Sandy Hook shooting.

The $1.1 billion award is the largest defamation award in US history. However, it is unclear how much of the award Jones will actually have to pay. Jones has filed for bankruptcy, and he has said that he does not have the money to pay the award.
