Sandy Hook families accuse Alex Jones of transferring millions to himself while claiming bankruptcy

There is a hearing in bankruptcy Court tomorrow at 2 PM on motions to (1) appoint a tort claimant committee and (2) remove Jones' company as debtor in possession and in effect appoint a new trustee to control the Bankruptcy. I was forwarded the last motion and it reflects the items described below

Families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting said in a court filing Thursday that Alex Jones “systematically transferred millions of dollars” to himself and his relatives while claiming bankruptcy to avoid compensating the families in the several lawsuits he faces.

The families of nine Sandy Hook victims asked the federal bankruptcy court judge to order that Jones relinquish control of Free Speech Systems, the parent company of Jones’ far-right, conspiracy theory website Infowars.

“Since the Sandy Hook Families filed their lawsuits, the Debtor has systematically transferred millions of dollars to Alex Jones and his relatives and insider entities,” the filing reads. “It claims to owe a massive, secured debt to an insider that was first documented as a loan when the Sandy Hook Families were securing key wins in Connecticut and Texas, but no records show that an actual debt existed before the Sandy Hook Families sued.”

“There are no honest debtors here,” the families say in the filing, adding that Jones was attempting to avoid paying them as they seek damages for falsely claiming that the school shooting, where 20 students and six educators were killed, was a hoax.

and it shouldn't be all that hard to prove. Let Alex cool his heels in jail for a few years. The quiet would do us all a world of good.
