Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ personal spending has increased since he was ordered to pay $1.5 billion in liabilities to Sandy Hook families, none of whom has seen a penny from the disgraced Infowars host, according to court documents.
In July alone, Jones spent $93,180 — excluding legal and professional fees — including $15,184 on payments to his wife Erika Wulff Jones, $7,900 on housekeeping, $6,338 on meals and entertainment, and a separate $3,388 on groceries, an August 29 court filing from lawyers for the families shows. The payments to Jones’ wife, the lawyers alleged, were textbook “fraudulent transfers” under a claimed prenuptial agreement.
His May and June bills were equally hefty, with Jones spending $63,925 and $85,114, respectively, again without taking stock of legal and professional fees, the filing said.
An attorney for Jones did not respond to a CNN request for comment Thursday.
Jones filed for bankruptcy in December 2022 after he was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion to Sandy Hook families over his false claims about the elementary school massacre. At the time, he estimated his assets to be worth between $1 million and $10 million, and his liabilities to be between $1 billion and $10 billion, CNN previously reported.
In filing for bankruptcy, the money Jones owes the Sandy Hook families is put on hold until a payment plan is established. Jones declined the initial budget proposed to him by attorneys representing the families in December 2022 that would have allowed him to pay the liabilities and spend a diminished amount on himself, court documents show. Jones instead responded with a budget of his own on May 8, proposing that he be allowed to spend over $700,000 a year. Despite this figure, Jones’ monthly operating reports indicate that he’s surpassed his own proposed budget.

I hope he doesn't pay out a single red cent.
I hope the Newtown families and their lawyers never see a penny.
How much has Al Sharpton paid on the judgment he was handed?
The federal bankruptcy court confirmed that everything the prosecution said about Jones’ wealth were lies.
1.5B for hurt feelings.
Outrageous how the communists have criminalized free speech because words do hurt.
Exactly.
I'm happy to see he has so far been successful at stashing the wealth he spent a lifetime building.
The “parents” didn’t know anything about the 40 minutes of Sandy Hook discussions on Alex’s show out of 9,000 hours over seven years until the ambulance chasers recruited them five years after the fact.
If he has all his assets tied up in Trusts they will never get a dime.
That is exactly what O. J. and why the Goldman Family could never touch any of his money or his pensions, all tied up.
Good, those Sandy Hook families don’t deserve a penny of Alex Jones’ money.
President Trump should sue CNN (among others) for his hurt feelings.
And that makes him responsible for what?
Sorry, I just couldn’t get past CNN.
I second the motion.
I admit that I know very little about this case, but it sounds like Alex made some speculative comments (once) when the event occurred. And years later the lawyers go after him, and when they finally brought the case to court, Alex and his lawyers weren't allowed to provide a defense.
Pure lawfare to try to shut Alex up - and having nothing to do with the parents who will never see a penny.
Agreed. Glad Alex is protesting injustice in his own way.
He said he was kidding. Can’t you people take a joke?
If (and that’s a BIG If) the families ever see any money from Jones, will CNN run a story about how the lawyers took everything before the families see one cent?
Couldn’t care less.Yes,the families have been wronged...profoundly wronged. But not by Jones...despite what a jury might think.
Eff CNN and the fascists on the left.
1.5 billion fine for offering an opinion. This crap has to be stopped.
Why ruin a good story with an accoutant's audit of income and outgo.
