Alex Jones gets judge’s permission to sell Game Ranch for $2.8 million in bankruptcy case

Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and detractor of the Sandy Hook families, has been given the green light by a federal judge to sell his Texas game ranch amid his bankruptcy case.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Christopher Lopez approved a $2.8 million sale of Jones’ 127-acre ranch as part of his Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, court records show.

Jones was declared bankrupt in 2022 when juries in two states found him liable for hundreds of millions in damages after years of working on his program, Infowars, falsely claiming that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut was a “false flag” ‘operation was with paid actors. The families of Sandy Hook victims have filed a total of $1.5 billion in judgments against him.

Once Jones’ ranch is sold, he will no longer have direct access to the money. Instead, the money will be placed in an escrow account to pay his legal fees, with the remaining money going to the Sandy Hook families.

Jones’ farm includes “portable buildings, game feeders, hunting hatches, tanks and gates,” according to a recent lawsuit. A description of the real estate on a real estate website claims it “provides recreational opportunities for bird watching, fishing, swimming, kayaking, camping and hunting. Easy access to the river and riverbank with a large gravel bank on the water.”

In November, the families of Sandy Hook offered to settle Jones’ legal debt by making him pay at least $85 million over 10 years. Jones instead proposed a plan that would have required him to pay just $55 million over 10 years, but the families said his proposal “fell woefully short.”

Jones currently has a court date set for June, when Lopez will hear arguments from both sides about how much Jones should pay.
