Alex Jones’ Infowars Will Go up for Sale yet Again, Judge Rules
A Texas judge appointed a receiver to liquidate Infowars assets to satisfy a $1.3 billion defamation judgment for Sandy Hook families, with payouts expected soon, attorneys said.
- On August 13, 2025, a Texas district court judge ruled that control of Alex Jones' Infowars parent company must be handed to a receiver appointed by the court, who will oversee the sale of its assets.
- The ruling follows Jones' 2022 defamation conviction and longstanding lawsuits from Sandy Hook families seeking damages over his false hoax claims about the 2012 massacre.
- The receiver now controls Infowars’ assets, including website and property, enabling seizure and liquidation, while the sale could revive bids from a satirical outlet backed by Sandy Hook families.
- Jones expressed anger over the ruling but acknowledged Infowars likely will shut down, while attorneys for the families hailed the decision as a critical step towards accountability.
- The order shifts the recovery effort to state court, where families may start receiving payouts within months, although total collections could remain limited given Jones’ bankruptcies.
