Related: About this forumAlex Jones lists $6.2 million in assets as judge adds new sanctions in Sandy Hook cases
Mark Bankston had fun today. I watch part of the hearing and Susan Bankston filled me in on the rest. The judge got pissed at Alex Jones' 8th counsel who is a solo attorney who mainly does family law. This attorney was NOT prepared

Given the history of this suit and Mr. Jones lack of candor, Plaintiffs also expect that he has additional assets squirreled away, likely in some other shell company as yet undisclosed, the parents lawyers told the judge in the court filing.
Fridays hearing focused on complaints, raised by the Sandy Hook parents in the same filing, that the corporate representative who Free Speech Systems designated to answer questions during a December deposition failed to adequately prepare, rendering the exercise a waste of time and a farce.
Mark Bankston, a lawyer for the parents, played several deposition videos and introduced more than 40 pages of transcripts showing InfoWars producer Daria Karpova unable to answer eight questions that had been submitted long before she sat down to represent Jones and his companies in the deposition.
When Jones lawyer, Jacquelyn Blott, insisted that Karpova answered questions to the best of her ability, state District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble interrupted to strongly disagree.
The deposition records show that Karpova failed to take even the most basic steps to prepare for the deposition, the judge said.

The judge is going to sign orders for the sanctions ordered in the last hearing and indicated that the new attorney needs to provide a corporate representative(s) who can actually answer the questions.

Jones has hidden a ton of assets but I would not be surprised to see Jones try to hide assets
