Alex Jones’ conspiracy theory empire Infowars will be sold for parts to help pay Sandy Hook families
Everything from the Infowars.com domain, to its social media accounts, subscriber list, and even production equipment and studio set will be auctioned off piece by piece to the highest bidder on November 13, according to the auction house handling the bidding.
The proceeds of the sale, which could fetch millions of dollars, will be used to chip away at the nearly $1.5 billion Jones owes the families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Anyone can place a bid for Infowars, including its dubious dietary supplement store, and use the property for any reason.
Jones has suggested that one of his allies could buy Infowars. Nothing would prevent him from continuing to broadcast under a new owner, although he would still need to pay off the debt he owes the Sandy Hook families with any earnings he may receive.
There’s also nothing stopping Jones from continuing to speak about the Sandy Hook massacre or the families. (Jones now acknowledges the massacre took place, but claims he is being targeted and “framed” by the government). The only way Jones would be prevented from speaking about Sandy Hook entirely is through a separate settlement with the families.
The court-appointed trustee also signaled during the court hearing on Tuesday that he planned to liquidate Jones’ other intellectual property, including his account on the social media platform X that has 2.8 million followers.
But even if all of Jones’ personal intellectual property is sold off along with Infowars, it’s unlikely to make more than a small dent in the amount he owes the Sandy Hook families.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
