Alex Jones has requested to convert his bankruptcy case to a Chapter 7 liquidation, abandoning his proposed plan to reorganize his personal debts. This move comes in response to over $1 billion in defamation claims from the families of Sandy Hook school shooting victims. By liquidating his assets, Jones aims to pay more than $1.5 billion in damages, which would also result in the end of his ownership of Infowars.
