A US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez has converted Alex Jones' bankruptcy case to Chapter 7, allowing a trustee to liquidate his assets to repay creditors. However, the judge declined to convert the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Free Speech Systems, the company that runs Jones' show, Infowars. This decision follows Jones' significant legal troubles, including a $1 billion penalty related to the Sandy Hook case. The proceeds from the sale of Jones' assets, including his ownership stake in Free Speech Systems, will go to the families of Sandy Hook. In a bankruptcy proceeding, InfoWars would go up for auction, and Jones' wages could be garnished. Jones has responded by urging his viewers to spend money with his father's company, which is not answerable to the Sandy Hook families.
