A Texas judge has ruled that Infowars host Alex Jones cannot use bankruptcy protection to avoid paying over $1.1 billion to families who sued him over his conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook school shooting. The ruling comes after Jones faced previous defeats in Texas and Connecticut courts. The judge stated that bankruptcy protections do not apply in cases of “willful and malicious” conduct. Jones, who filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year, claimed he is over $1 million in personal debt and said the ruling would have little practical effect. He plans to continue appealing the verdicts.
