Bankruptcy trustee discloses plan to shut down Alex Jones’ Infowars and liquidate assets
SUMMARY
A U.S. bankruptcy court trustee plans to shut down Alex Jones’ Infowars media platform to help pay the $1.5 billion Jones owes for questioning the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Trustee Christopher Murray filed an emergency motion to liquidate Infowars’ assets, intending to "conduct an orderly wind-down" of its operations. Murray also requested a halt on the Sandy Hook families' collection efforts to prevent disruption. Jones continues broadcasting, affirming that Infowars will operate a few more months before closure. He is appealing the judgments and asserts that free speech rights allowed him to state his personal opinion about a public event.
