The trustee overseeing Infowars host Alex Jones’ personal bankruptcy case is accusing the far-right conspiracy theorist of trying to shield more than $5 million from creditors, including relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut.

Three new lawsuits filed by the trustee on Friday alleging fraudulent asset transfers are the latest developments in Jones’ long-running bankruptcy case, which has been pending in federal court in Houston for more than two years. In financial statements filed in bankruptcy court last year, Jones listed his net worth at $8.4 million.

The Sandy Hook families won nearly $1.5 billion in judgments in 2022 in lawsuits filed in Connecticut and Texas accusing Jones of defamation and emotional distress for saying the school shooting that killed 20 first graders and six educators was a hoax. Victims’ relatives testified in court about being terrorized by Jones’ supporters.

Lol everything he has done in these lawsuits was for the sole purpose to hide his money.

5 different corporate representatives were sent and the court ruled every single testimony of those as non responsive to discovery. The last corporate rep to testify was a hired outside lawyer with no experience in civil law, no familiarity with Texas law and had no experience in financial matters. Why would you send someone as your corporate representative, who has no idea what's going on, or any experience in relevant fields? To obscure the process of discovery and to hide the money.
