Trustee Files Lawsuits Accusing Alex Jones Of Hiding $5M From Sandy Hook Families

Alex Jones, the Infowars host and far-right conspiracy theorist, is facing new lawsuits accusing him of fraudulently transferring over $5 million in cash, cars, and property to family members in an attempt to shield assets from creditors, including the families of Sandy Hook victims. U.S. bankruptcy trustee Christopher Murray alleges Jones engaged in a scheme involving sham transactions, such as transferring $1.5 million to his wife under an unratified prenup, selling part of a Texas ranch to his father for $10, and hiding ownership of valuable properties. These allegations come amid Jones' ongoing bankruptcy case in federal court, where he listed his net worth at $8.4 million, and following the nearly $1.5 billion in judgments against him for defamation and emotional distress related to the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The families, represented by attorneys like Chris Mattei, remain determined to enforce the jury's verdict and recover damages, citing Jones' history of lying and asset concealment. Jones continues to appeal the judgments, while attempts to liquidate his Infowars business assets to satisfy the judgments have been complicated by failed auctions and legal disputes. The trustee's lawsuits name Jones' wife, father, and trusts as defendants, emphasizing the alleged fraudulent intent behind these transfers to keep assets out of reach of creditors.
