A federal bankruptcy judge in Houston has ruled that officials overseeing the bankruptcy of right-wing host Alex Jones and his parent corporation must be replaced, meaning that Jones will be unable to hide any of his assets.
According to The New York Times:
Judge Christopher Lopez dismissed Mr. Jones’s attorney and chief restructuring officer in the bankruptcy of Free Speech Systems, Infowars’ parent company, and expanded the duties of a Department of Justice-appointed trustee already monitoring the case. The judge authorized the trustee to hire additional legal and other help, specifying that any new hires must have “no connection to any of these cases,” he said, citing a need to investigate “insider relationships.”
“There has to be greater transparency in this case,” Judge Lopez said during the hearing on Tuesday, pointing to concerns with spending and other disclosures on the part of the company, which is run by Mr. Jones. “Without transparency, people lose faith in the process,” he added, referring to the federal bankruptcy system.
Despite his claims of poverty, Jones has been spending like King Midas, which is odd since he claims to already be $54 million in the hole.
To date, Jones has lost every lawsuit filed against him for his disgusting comments about the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, and was recently ordered to pay $45.2 million to two Sandy Hook parents by a Texas jury. He is facing the same outcome as a trial begins in Connecticut that could also result in a massive judgement against him.
Leaving the courtroom, Jones went on an unhinged rant.
“The headlines were ‘Jones doesn’t show.’ They said we don’t want you! I show up yesterday. We don’t want you! I show up today! We don’t want you!
“And this guy is going to report I didn’t show up today! That’s lying! That’s corporate fake media and that’s shame on you!”
