For his defamatory falsehoods about the Sandy Hook shooting, the juries in Connecticut and Texas imposed a fine of $1.487 billion on Jones in 2022. the amount is to be paid in damages to a first responder and families of victims. Jones who claimed his net worth is only $2 million is clearly unable to pay for the damages and has declared bankruptcy in November 2022. The parent company of his website InfoWars where he introduced these theories, Free Speech Systems, declared bankruptcy earlier in July itself. Since he lacks the funds to pay his fine, Jones might have to release the rights to his personal assets, including a significant real estate portfolio owned by him.
