And he's going to pay - a lot:
The author is a New York Times reporter who has covered Jones' disinformation in detail.
Note that this is just the compensatory damages portion - under the CT Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA), the judge determines punitive damages:
The author is an attorney and legal commentator.
This is a win for truth and justice.

His show is in the early afternoon.
From the other thread:
I mean, considering the bankruptcies themselves are bullshit, I am sure
The bankruptcy judge already has ruled that FSS needs to be put under an independent trustee:
I feel like the lawyers for the families in the Texas case were already half way there. They had the documentation from their forensic accountants showing that he was siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars from the core business into shady and questionable accounts setup in other people's names.
That alone should have had alarm bells ringing all across the FBI's white collar crime division. And with everyone holding their cards close to their chest, who knows who else is digging into this. With Jones' big mouth, I very much doubt any legitimate investigation is going to surface before they have him dead to rights.
He was only there the first week, when he had to be (the plaintiffs subpoenaed him, so he had to take the stand - it went so badly that his counsel chose to refuse cross because it was less damaging.)
There's one more trial in TX, IIRC, as well as the bankruptcy trial.
That's the same line he's been pedaling since the trials began. Ever since he knew he was turbofucked to hell and back once he got forced to defend his actions.
"If they can come after me, a wealthy white man with his own media company, what do you think they'll do to you?"
"Nothing, because I'm not a fucking ghoul?"
The only thing that's gonna stop Jones from going on internet television and terrorizing folks is if he's physically incapable of doing so. The bankruptcy trial might reveal a bunch of actual financial crimes though so here's hoping.
I wish he'd be punished by not being able to participate in radio, television or internet broadcasts in any way again.
Also, I thought courts don't really try to get more money than you're worth and that you'll be able to earn because it could be considered exceptionally cruel and thus go against the 4th. So if AJ just has a lawyer worth anything they appeal on the grounds that the punitive damages violate the 4th Amendment and thus get less or no punishment at all.
Lmao
Cruel and unusual is restricted to penalties by the state. In a court of equity like this the damages are the harm to the party. If it's more than you have, sucks to be you, that's what bankruptcy is for.

Sounds to me like someone has had a sudden realization that being an inflammatory fucking nutjob might have consequences.
Sadly since she's a congresswoman she's protected. Like I 100% doubt any of her inflammatory bullshit can be sued over despite her saying "we need to kill liberals to defend ourselves."

Bankruptcy won't save him - damages from intentional tortious conduct are not dischargible.
I'm pretty sure With a billion dollars of debt he's pretty much done; Like this much money in the hole means that he's likely to have to sell pretty much everything (including info warz) that he has any stake in and anything that could make him money is going to be garnished.
Like... the man is fucked.
Well too bad for Jones he’s such a terrible asshole client that every lawyer he’s had has spent more time scheming to become his former lawyer and the ones he has now are the ones who weren’t smart enough to figure out how to do that
And when caught out, don't lie about it.
I worked for the company that supplied CAMA(computer assisted mass appraisal) software to Newtown, CT. Other than being what they used to calculate their assessment of property data, the company provides a public facing website for property values. One of the things they latched onto was that there were 'sales on Christmas! government transferring property to the crisis actors!'
No you fucks, no sale is going to happen on 12/25 and SALES.SALEDT is a fucking required field so placeholders had to be selected where that field was NULL.
After the tragedy we received so many calls and assholes using emails and recordings to make conspiracy videos on youtube. A friend of mine in support had to request google to disassociate his work emails from all their shit.
Alex jones encouraged and continually fanned these flames of ignorance. He deserves to live out the rest of his life in a barrel with straps on compared to the suffering for the families and the poison he pumped to the general public.
You should, because if you had stopped talking for two seconds during your trial in Texas, you would have heard the judge telling you exactly that.
Anyway, enjoy poverty and, presumably, jail, at this pace.
Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
I feel like at some point this behavior has to cross into the criminal.
If he owes everybody in the country a few million, no one can get anything! It's genius!
Was listening to a podcast about conspiracy theories where they explain that for fundamentalist Christian flat-Earthers, there is nothing in existence but the Earth with a dome over. In other words, because the Bible only specifically mentions the creation of Earth, nothing else exists except a snowglobe-style Earth (but flat!) hanging out in the void.
And the explanation for this was that, whereas most people are amazed at the size of the universe when confronted with it, fundamentalists are terrified by so much beyond their control and explanation so they literally make a mental effort to seal off the rest of the universe from their mind because it's simply too big and scary. So even though a domed flat Earth is real fucking stupid, they can understand that idea and human existence within it so they willingly discard reality for the comforting, obvious lie.
Which was a way to think about that bullshit that had never occurred to me before because the idea of mentally walling off most of the universe because the concept is uncomfortable has simply never crossed my mind.
Wait wait wait.
Wait.
That's not including punitive damages??!?!
Yup. And he's spent the past two weeks mocking the person who gets to set the punitive damages.
Which is fucking weird if you ask me. You would think a defendant should have to be at his own trial but I guess the rules are different for civil cases.
Also, different for rich white assholes.
