Alex Jones got spanked in court.

Alex Jones found liable in lawsuit brought by parents of Sandy Hook shooting victims

The radio host didn't comply with the court's document requests, the judge said.

abcnews.go.com

found liable, guess that is what happens when you don't even make an effort to defend yourself

A default judgment might actually be more cost effective for him than producing evidence.

Obviously none of us know what he's hiding but to lose multiple lawsuits of this size over it sure suggests whatever's there is very, very bad.

He can't be hiding anything because he doesn't have anything. He lost these cases because he didn't produce documents to back up his claims. Documents he can't produce because he doesn't have anything substantial to back up his frivolous claims.

No, he's hiding things. If you don't have documents which are requested, that is actually not your fault unless it can be proven that you destroyed evidence not helpful to you. All you have to do is have your attorneys serve a statement on the other side saying you don't have the requested documents.

The fact he was repeatedly sanctioned for not producing documents to the point where the court entered judgment for plaintiffs means he had documents he did not want to produce.

That's not at all what happened, not that you seem to give a shit considering how often you spout straight shit right out of your mouth on here.

It might be worth reminding you that his defense sent child porn to the persecution (think it was one of the other trials). If you think he's not hiding anything then you're a bigger goddamn moron than the people that believed his false flag/crisis actor shit.

Newtown families: Alex Jones fails to show up for deposition

Sandy Hook Families Seek Alex Jones Arrest After 2nd No-Show

Relatives of some victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting are asking a Connecticut judge to order the arrest of Infowars host Alex Jones for missing a court-ordered deposition this week.
Associated Press March 25, 2022

 

[sandorski]

Indeed. Justice needs it.

 

[woolfe9998]

Yes, you can get someone cited for contempt of court after failing to appear for a deposition, after you first file a motion in court to compel attendance and the court orders an appearance on a date certain, then the deponent again fails to appear. In CA the penalty is usually 5 days jail time. But it can increase if the conduct continues afterwards.

I have no idea what Jones is thinking here, except that since he didn't produce documents in the other suit which caused him to lose the case by default, and he doesn't want to be deposed in this one, he is clearly hiding things. Why doesn't he just settle the case? Maybe he doesn't have the money to do so.

These plaintiffs will be chasing him around to enforce these judgments against him for years to come. They'll be attaching his bank accounts, liening his properties, and garnishing his wages for a long time. He's probably best off just going BK right now, him and Infowars as both have been sued.

My guess as to what he's hiding is documents which indicate that he never believed Sandy Hook was fake. The one thing he cannot tolerate is his fans finding out that he's been conning them for these past 20 years.

 

[Captante]

In Connecticut law "failure to appear" in a criminal case at least is a charge all by itself and the severity follows the charge in the original arrest. ("A" misdemeanor -or- "D" felony)

Not sure how it works in a civil case but Connecticut law tends to be on the "harsh" side.

I read somewhere that he’s using these cases to solicit money from his idiot followers so he might be trying to grift his way to a profit here or something.

I think of that as the cunning of a sociopath or beyond.

I wonder how much money he's hidden?

Alex Jones' Infowars files for bankruptcy following Sandy Hook lawsuits

Good, now throw his ass in jail.

 

[Thump553]

I assume they also have a personal judgment against him. If so he is going to have a tough time discharging this judgment in personal bankruptcy (if he does so file). Also this bankruptcy filing should not stay any continuing action against him personally.

The lawyers he has hired here are certainly not cheap. He's got money.

DOJ implicates Alex Jones in potential 'abuse of the bankruptcy system' just before court hearing

All the money from those supplements he was hawking had to go somewhere, right?

What the hell was that? No one in the room even cares and hardly anyone paying attention. Everyone is talking over him and looking at their phones.

 

[JimKiler]

I wonder if they plaintiffs will actually see money from Alex and his scheming relatives. I have a feeling he will go down fighting since this is his whole persona that he is in the wrong.

I cannot believe that Alex finally sat for deposition and then claim they need to be private so the plaintiffs cannot about them and then Alex goes on his show and talks about what he claimed happened in his deposition.

 

[JimKiler]

If anyone is interested Knowledge Fight podcast has been following a lot of this saga and even had the plaintiff's lawyer on. At one point the lawyer talked about getting discovery from Alex Jones and his companies containing child porn. I am still waiting for charges on that to be filed.

Alex Jones says men in the '60s had penises three times the size of men today.

Alex Jones tells InfoWars viewers of rapid shrinkage in men's genital size

Far-right podcaster and conspiracy theory promoter Alex Jones claims that men have penis size only a quarter of the size of their grandfathers during a segment on "gay frogs."“That’s why genitals, I don’t care if you’re black or white, are a third of the size they were of a 1960s male," he...

www.rawstory.com

Lol ... Three times? Now according to Google, in 2020 the average penis size was 5.1-5.5 inches, so we can conclude that your typical Boomer was packing a johnson about 15-16 inches long. So .. I know there are some boomers on this board, so would any of you Titans Among Men (or the women who I assume were absolutely terrified of them on their wedding night) care to confirm this?

I'm going with the many woman have, upon seeing Alex, immediately said “What a massive dick.” The bigger the dick, the smaller the penis.

Last week several of the plaintiff families filed motions to dismiss the bankruptcy cases. They are alleging that Jones is hiding money in offshore accounts and with family members, and that the bankruptcy is a sham. Now, this week, the bankruptcy trustee himself filed a similar motion. The bankruptcy trustee is usually an attorney appointed by the court to manage the bankruptcy estate.

Alex Jones Bankruptcy Case Just Keeps Getting Weirder - Above the Law

Par for the loony course.

abovethelaw.com

Here is the motion to dismiss, which is worth a read if you want to find out what Jones is up to here. First paragraph:

Debtors’ cases should be dismissed for cause under section 1112(b)(1) because these are classic bad faith filings for two primary reasons: these cases serve no valid bankruptcy purpose and were filed to gain a tactical advantage in the Sandy Hook Lawsuits. The strategy employed here—filing bankruptcy for three non-operating members of a larger enterprise to channel and cap liability against the other, revenue-generating members of that enterprise and its owner using a bankruptcy subchapter designed to aid small, struggling businesses—is a novel and dangerous tactic that is abusive and undermines the integrity of the bankruptcy system. Bankruptcy, however, is intended to protect honest but unfortunate debtors who subject themselves and their assets to the supervision of the Court.

He spends 25 years making conspiracy claims about the federal government, then asks them to help him carry out an illegal scheme to screw over the Sandy Hook plaintiffs. This asshole should be thrown right the hell out of bankruptcy court. He can file for real bankruptcy later on when he and his companies are actually broke.
