    14 years...that's how long it took for him to see the consequences of his actions. Unacceptable.

    And we all know unless he goes to jail for his debts he won't pay anything to anyone.

    Jailing people for debt is a terrible idea. Just garnish his pay and seize his assets.

    He's hiding his assets in plain sight and the courts are letting him get away with it.

    Yeah, that is not the end of him nor his money.

    They just let him put everything into his new business and I would not be shocked if he will see some of the money the onion has to pay for infowars now.

    The rich have class consciousness, the poor don't.

    The problem is that he hid most of his assets and is trying to pretend to the court that he is broke

    He hasn’t seen consequences. A ruling against you means nothing if it’s not enforced. And there have been no legal consequences either for the blatantly highly illegal stuff that was found when he accidentally cloned his phone and handed it over to the prosecution

    Monday -
    Alex Jones: It's a lie! I'm still in control of the studio!

    Friday -
    Studio locked. Lights out. Alex isn't in control anymore.

    He's not going anywhere. He stalled the process for so long he already moved a lot of his money and audience to a different platform he doesn't own.

    Loosing the brand is a big deal. But not as big of a deal as being de-platformed. Alex's troupe is a ghost compared to what Info Wars was in 2015.

    What Alex has accomplished is dragging this out until a time when right-wing media is in decline nationally. Yea, Alex is still around, the same way Blockbuster has a store or two.

    He might have moved on but he's not his own boss anymore and he's fallen off enough I doubt he's biggly's top talent so there's no way he is ever satisfied being where he is forced to do a show he has come to hate and be a bootlicker for trump no matter how much trump attacks him

    It's absolutely crazy the gymnastics the judicial system is making to keep Jones on the air and prevent the families of the Sandy Hook victims from seeing restitution.

    This shutdown was Jones's decision not the courts or The Onion:

    A judge granted Jones’ request to block the sale, arguing that another offer by a company that happened to operate Jones’ online supplements store had been higher. But in April, there seemed to be a workaround — Jones’ estate had run out of money and instead of buying it in an auction, The Onion could just pay rent in a licensing deal. On Wednesday, a Texas appeals court stopped the transfer again, temporarily blocking the asset handover.

    And so it seems Jones, unable to pay the rent, left on his own accord.

    The Knowledge Fight guys said he already redirected his audience to buy his snake oil on another site anyway. He doesn't need IW anymore to continue his grift.

    How does a man who owes a BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES stil own ANYTHING?? there is no justice to be had in our system. Anything that looks like it is purely coincidence.

    Always remember the justice system will protect a certain class of people.

    It’s a big club and we ain’t in it.

    "The Jury voted against Jones, therefore it means he gets to keep InfoWars and also not pay them." is wild.

    It's not like it's a secret of Alex Jonesy is doing. We all know that he's transferring assets and still maintaining control over the assests.

    The Courts are like "I dunno man. If we start cracking down on this balant actions. The rich might have to be held accountable."

    That's honestly beside the point. This case wasn't about his "grift" it was about harassment of the Sandy Hook families, who have not seen a penny from Jones yet, despite winning the case two years ago. The judge tried to come up with convoluted logic to make sure Jones retains control of IW despite, again, losing the case the judge presided over. It's insanity.

    What bridge does he live under? Because he doesn't live in a house, right? Because if he lives in a house, then confiscate it, sell it, and give the money to his victims. Then he can go live under a bridge.

    The Onion should use Infowars to teach the Constitution.
