Alex Jones spends upward $100K a month despite bankruptcy filing: report

17 February 2023

Conspiracy theorist and InfoWars host Alex Jones may have filed bankruptcy in wake of the billion-dollar Sandy Hook lawsuit but that hasn't stopped him from spending upward of $100,000 a month, according to a new report.

BBC News is shedding light on new documents that were filed in a Texas court this week, breaking down Jones' monthly spending.

The filings "listed his monthly outgoings, which total more than $96,000, and alternatively list his occupation as 'Media Personality' and 'Dietary Supplement Sales.' Infowars operates an online shop that sells supplements and other products."

Despite the spending, Jones — who repeatedly made false claims about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting — filed bankruptcy last year, and the latest filings, per the news outlet, include "voluminous detail about his possessions, debts, outgoings and legal issues."

In addition to the issues Jones is facing as a result of his conspiracy reports about Sandy Hook, he and InfoWars were also hit with more than a dozen lawsuits prior to his bankruptcy filing.

Next week, a judge will determine if any of the defamation suits against Jones will advance.

The new details come as Jones' legal team insists he "would refrain from putting out further episodes of a new podcast, in response to concerns by the Sandy Hook victims that he will leave Infowars and Free Speech Systems and use the bankruptcy cases to avoid paying settlements."

Pushing back against the onslaught of lawsuits, Jones' legal team argues "that another defamation trial — after similar cases in Texas and Connecticut last year — would hurt his income and thus his ability to pay judgements to other plaintiffs."
