Alex Jones seeks $1.3 million salary in Infowars bankruptcy

(Reuters) - Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Monday asked a judge to allow him to take a $1.3 million annual salary from the bankrupt parent company of his Infowars' website.

Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems LLC, both went bankrupt in recent months as they owe families of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting a total of $1.5 billion in damages for falsely claiming the massacre was a hoax. Jones has said he cannot pay those judgments, which came after back-to-back defamation trials in Texas and Connecticut.

Jones drew a $1.3 million salary from Free Speech Systems before its bankruptcy, and his attorney asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez to restore his salary to that level at a hearing Monday.

Jones has been paid a reduced biweekly salary of $20,000 since his company filed for bankruptcy on July 29, just over a third of what he had been paid before, according to his court filing.

1. Don't do it, judge! Make him draw from the money he's siphoned away!!!

2. It's not punitive enough if he's still getting $1 million a year

[Takket]

3. he can keep whatever the going rate is for a mcdonalds hamburger in his neighborhood

everything else should go to the victims of his attacks. no one is entitled to keep an ill-gotten life of luxury. the very idea that someone who owes 1.5 billion could be drawing a $10000 per week paycheck is preposterous. no one should be forced to be homeless or starve but he doesn't need anything more than what it costs to eat and drive to work.

4. Should be minimum wage.

Federal minimum wage, to be specific. I believe 7.25 an hour.
