THE PRICE OF BEING A LOUD-MOUTHED CONSPIRACY THEORY KOOK IS.......T B D

By Bob Walsh

 

Alex Jones
 
Alex Jones is an internet personality.  He is what could be reasonably described as a Conspiracy Theory Kook.  He is banned from YouTube, Facebook and Spotify.  He has recently been found guilty of defamation of character in actions brought by some of the parents of the Sandy Hook school massacre which occurred in 2012.  His point of view was that the "massacre" is in fact a hoax.
 
 
 

Courts in both Connecticut and Texas have found him guilty of defamation.   Families of five of the dead and one FBI agent who responded to the shooting are suing Jones personally and his corporation, Free Speech Systems.  Jones has since acknowledged that the shooting did in fact take place.

Jones claims a net worth of negative $20 million.  The plaintiffs are not buying that.  Jones has had an income of about $165 million at his Infowars Store between about 2015 and 2018.
