A federal judge in Houston, Texas, has ordered the liquidation of Alex Jones' personal assets to help pay the $1.5 billion he owes to the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims. Jones, a right-wing conspiracy theorist, was found liable for defamation after falsely claiming that the 2012 shooting was a hoax. The judge is still deciding on the fate of Jones' Infowars media platform, which has been a significant source of revenue for him over the past 25 years. The liquidation will be conducted under a trustee-supervised process.
