Families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting are urging a federal bankruptcy judge to install a trustee who can “safeguard assets and prevent further value destruction” as conspiracy theorist Alex Jones seeks to liquidate his wealth to pay off a hefty debt he owes them in defamation verdicts.
A gunman killed 20 first grade children and six adults at the school in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012. At his trial in Texas in 2022, Jones generally blamed “corporate media” for twisting his words and misportraying him but didn’t specify how. Jones had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection that year, a move that lawyers for the plaintiffs criticized as a maneuver to avoid paying the debt.
