A federal judge just made a big call on Alex Jones and his Infowars empire. The judge said Alex Jones has to sell off his personal stuff to pay up for spreading those Sandy Hook conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, they threw out the bankruptcy case for his company, Infowars, leaving its future hanging.

Jones, you know, the guy behind Infowars, claimed the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax and got sued big time—like $1.5 billion big. The judge said Jones couldn't work out a deal with the Sandy Hook families, so now they can go straight to court to collect what they're owed.

Infowars might shut down because of all this debt. Jones hinted he'd find another way to keep his shows going if that happens, but he's not happy about what he calls political games trying to shut him down.

The families' lawyers are pretty pleased with the judge's decision, calling Infowars "soon-to-be defunct." They're gearing up to go after Jones' money and any future earnings he might make, saying he caused a lot of pain with those bogus claims about Sandy Hook.

This legal mess isn't just about money—it's about how far people can go spreading misinformation and the real-life harm it can cause. Now a trustee's in charge of selling off Jones' stuff, including Infowars, to pay off his debts. It's a big deal for Jones, and it's a big deal for anyone following the case.3.5
