He is insured up one side and down the other

Don’t believe the talk of bankruptcy.

The very loud talk radio host will pull through with just enough money like he always does.

He is insured up one side and down the other, and has lots of very wealthy donors behind the scenes.

Alex Jones’ Infowars files for bankruptcy after defamation suits

The move comes as he fights defamation suits brought by families of those killed in a 2012 school shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school.

Mr Jones, who falsely claimed the shooting was a hoax, has been ordered to pay damages in the lawsuits.

Those efforts will be complicated by his decision to seek protection from creditors in bankruptcy court.

In the US, declaring bankruptcy provides a route for companies to remain in operation and negotiate their debts, with settlements overseen by the court. It puts a hold on other litigation.

Troubles for the radio host and conspiracy theorist stem from his false claims about the 2012 shooting in Connecticut, one of the worst school shootings in US history.

He repeatedly claimed the massacre, in which twenty children and six adults were killed, was a ploy to push gun control, staged by actors and the mainstream media.

Those claims were among the most prominent spread on his radio show and Infowars website.

In three separate lawsuits, families of those killed at Sandy Hook have said his lies enriched his business, including InfoWars, while leading to their harassment by his followers.

They won the lawsuits last year after Mr Jones denied the claims but refused to present evidence such as financial records in court.

This month, juries were set to start determining how much he owes the families.

He had proposed to pay $120,000 (£92,150) to each of the 13 people involved in the lawsuits, but they rejected that offer last month. – Source
