Alex Jones spent more than $93,000 in a month, but Sandy Hook families still haven’t been paid a penny, court documents show

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.

Yep

A horrible tragedy.

That being said, the guy laughing and grinning before getting all sad face and weepy for the cameras was ridiculous and disingenuous.

Jones commented were outrageous. It was more than hurt feelings. He owes them. IF he were a principled man he would pay up

Many people were saying much the same back then. They didn’t get sued and most never listened to Jones.

They do not deserve nor is it fair to go for a 1.5 billion judgement.

Going for that much just makes those families look like greedy opportunists.

I hope they never get a red cent.

Yes, his comments were outrageous. So what?

$1.5 billion is ridiculous and was meant to absolutely destroy Jones, not punish wrongdoing. It's more money than he'd ever be capable of earning. How is that justice?

Should it be illegal now for people to speculate about public events?

Being a scum bag isn't a crime. At least, it didn't used to be.

This is the problem with outrages awards. Winning in court is only the first hurdle. A more reasonable award, such as 40 million would have some chance of being paid.

Didn’t wealthy Democrat donors pay off the reverend Sharpton’s tax debts?

And if it were your child killed and Jones said about you what he said about them my guess is you’d feel differently

Jones was beyond outrageous. He should be man enough to accept his punishment

He isn’t a man so I expect nothing less from him than what he is doing now

Twenty six children and adults were murdered at Sandy Hook.

Jones was sued by the families of six of them.

I'd like to think I'd keep my integrity and join the families of the other twenty victims who didn't sue Alex Jones.

So you think Alex Jones is currently paying off a $1.5 billion settlement?

Alex should vacation in the South of France at the most lavish resorts, and send photos to that bitch of a judge and the jury responsible for the abominable and un-American verdict.
