China Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Infowars’ Alex Jones Says He Lives ‘in Hell,’ Texts Show Jones’ life, as revealed in the texts, is overshadowed by a sense of isolation. He appears to chat with almost no one who could be described as a friend, disentangled from his activism or Infowars work. Nearly everyone with whom he corresponds, outside of a few people in his family, connects with Jones through their relationship to Infowars, either as an employee or as another pro-Trump influencer. He sends and receives messages with more than 120 people who fit that description. Jones speaks with over 40 people who provide what could be described as personal services to him, like his personal trainer. Hatewatch has divided our reporting on the texts into a series. This story is part one, and it focuses on what the messages reveal about Jones’ life without the cover of his performance on Infowars. Hatewatch reached out to Jones for a comment on this investigation by text and email. He did not respond, and appeared to block this Hatewatch reporter's phone number. We will update the story if he decides to provide comment after publication. Infidelity and Surveillance: Part I Hatewatch found messages appearing to corroborate a Sept. 12, 2022, Rolling Stone story, which reported that Jones may have spied on his 43-year-old second and current wife, Erika Wulff Jones. Hatewatch found two instances where Jones contacts his security employee, former Austin Police Department officer and Blackwater mercenary Tim Enlow, to apparently monitor his wife. Pornography: ‘It’s meant to destroy families’ Alex Jones has made shaming people around issues of sex and sexuality central to the propaganda he produces for Infowars, while apparently striking a different tone in private. Owens, the former Infowars editor, told Hatewatch that Jones “openly talked about sexual things” around the office. Frequent targets of Jones’ derision have been pornography and people who consume it. He blamed pornography for “birthrates falling in the West” on a March 25, 2020, episode of Infowars. “I’m not a porn guy, I’m sorry,” Jones told his Infowars audience on March 5, 2019. “Once I’ve been in the real thing and you have a wife and you have children, it’s about life, it’s about love.” Jones shares links to pornographic videos in the texts Hatewatch reviewed. The videos he shares have titles that indicate they likely contain the same hardcore content he derides. Many of the videos (which include in their titles words like “cuckolding” and “hot slaves,” along with a variety of explicit sex acts) feature a woman having sex with multiple men. ‘You’re dealing with this unstable human’ On Oct. 5, an anonymous person leaked video footage of Jones appearing to drink alcohol during the day while working at Infowars. The person who leaked the footage had access to Infowars-related video sharing sites and uploaded them there, leading to public speculation that a rogue employee had sought to undermine Jones. Drucker, the former Infowars employee quoted in this story, told Hatewatch that he leaked that video and did it as a warning to Jones’ other collaborators. Drucker said that he found the footage he leaked while looking into where and when Enlow and other Infowars staff may have spied on him. Drucker told Hatewatch that Jones would walk around the office carrying a white dixie cup and “nine out of 10 times there would be vodka in it.” He said Jones would “corner” him and just “feed me shots of vodka,” sometimes to celebrate mundane victories, like Infowars footage going viral. Drucker said that Jones often started drinking as soon as he arrived in the office, which might be as early as nine in the morning. Owens, the other former Infowars employee quoted in this story, corroborated Drucker’s account. Click on the link for the full story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Bankrupt Alex Jones, who owes almost $1.5 billion to relatives of Sandy Hook victims, is spending nearly $100k a month InfoWars founder Alex Jones owes almost $1.5 billion in court-awarded damages to the families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. But the bankrupt conspiracy theorist is still spending nearly $100,000 a month, according to bankruptcy paperwork. The paperwork, which was filed this week with a Texas bankruptcy court, includes details about Jones' possessions, assets, debts, and spending. According to the filings, Jones' estimated monthly expenses total $99,645. BBC News was the first to report this detail. Jones' biggest monthly outgoings included more than $40,000 on taxes, $14,000 on childcare and education, $10,000 on alimony and child support, and $7,450 monthly spending on home repairs and maintenance. The filings also show that he spends $4,500 a month in total on entertainment, clubs, recreation, newspapers, magazines, and books. Jones filed for personal bankruptcy late last year, citing the debts he owed as a result of court-awarded damages related to spreading false claims about the Sandy Hook shooting. Jones claimed that the shooting was staged by the US government to provide a pretext for restricting gun ownership. In November 2022 he was ordered to pay $965 million in compensatory damages to families who lost loved ones in the shooting, and a further $473 million in punitive damages. The bankruptcy filings show that Jones currently owns three homes in Austin, Texas, three cars, and two boats. His assets are worth approximately $10 million.

China Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Alex Jones would get $520,000 salary under bankruptcy plan Alex Jones' media company has proposed a plan in its bankruptcy case to pay the conspiracy theorist $520,000 a year while leaving $7 million to $10 million annually to pay off creditors, including relatives of Sandy Hook shooting victims. The Sandy Hook families won nearly $1.5 billion in lawsuits last year against the Infowars host, for his calling the 2012 shooting that killed 20 children and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut, a hoax perpetrated by crisis actors. The families also said they were harassed and threatened by Jones' followers. But it remains unclear how much money the Sandy Hook families will actually get from Jones and Infowars' parent company, Free Speech Systems. Jones is appealing the verdicts and has said on his show that he has $2 million or less to his name. Free Speech Systems, owned solely by Jones, filed a proposed reorganization plan Tuesday in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in Houston that predicts it will have $7 million to $10 million annually after expenses to pay creditors from 2023 to 2027. The judge in the case, which was filed last year, would determine who gets that money and how much. A bankruptcy lawyer for Jones did not respond to an email message Tuesday. Lawyers in Texas and Connecticut for the Sandy Hook families declined to comment. The new filing shows the company expects to sell more than $30 million a year in dietary supplements, which Jones hawks on his show and are the company's main source of income. Meanwhile, Jones and an expected new chief operating officer would each be paid $520,000 per year. The company also would hand out $560,000 to nearly $1.3 million per year in executive incentives and another $352,000 to $677,000 in employee bonuses annually.

China Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Obvious: Alex Jones reportedly concealing funds to avoid $1.5bn payout to Sandy Hook families The rightwing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones appears to be moving his money to friends and family in an attempt to avoid paying out nearly $1.5bn in damages to the families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, a new report reveals. Last year, Jones was ordered to pay the huge damages following his years-long claims on his digital platform Infowars that the mass shooting was a hoax staged by the government to take away guns from Americans. According to a recent New York Times investigation into Jones’s financial and legal documents, the far-right broadcast agitator transferred assets worth millions of dollars outside the reach of creditors as lawsuits from Sandy Hook families as well as court sanctions stacked up against him over the past years. As part of a series of maneuvers to avoid paying for legal damages, Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, as well as Jones himself, declared bankruptcy last year. “I’m officially out of money, personally,” Jones said on Infowars in December. “It’s all going to be filed. It’s all going to be public. And you will see that Alex Jones has almost no cash,” the Associated Press reports Jones saying. However, the new investigation by the New York Times found that in addition to Jones spending $80,000 on a private jet, security and a villa during his time in Connecticut last year to testify at trial, he also appeared to have been sneaking away his money to various entities. The report revealed that in October 2021, Jones made a business agreement with Auriam Services, a month-old company founded by lifestyle blogger Anthony Gucciardi, a friend of Jones. According to the report, Auriam Services was to function as a credit card processing intermediary. Then, in February 2022, Jones transferred his $3m estate in Austin, Texas, to his wife, Erika Wulff Jones. The house on the estate spans over 5,400 sq ft and boasts four bedrooms and five bathrooms, in addition to a pool and a spa. The investigation also found that Jones signed a contract last July with Blue Ascension, a new company founded just a few months prior by Patrick Riley, Jones’s former personal trainer and assistant. That same month, Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy. In response, the victims’ families filed a lawsuit that claimed that Jones was fraudulently moving his money away from creditors, including transferring $11,000 a day to $11,000 a week and “up to 80 percent of his [diet] supplement sales” to PQPR, a company controlled by Jones and his parents, the New York Times reports.

China Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Sandy Hook families seek to reverse payments Alex Jones made to wife The families of Sandy Hook shooting victims said they had a strong case to reverse payments received by Alex Jones' wife and others in his family to help satisfy $1.5 billion in judgments they won against the bankrupt right wing conspiracy theorist over his lies about the 2012 elementary school massacre. Jones has engaged in "financial gymnastics" to hide his assets and avoid paying the judgments, spreading money to friends, family members, and shell companies, David Zensky, a lawyer for the families, said on Friday during a bankruptcy court hearing in Houston. The families of the children killed by a gunman in Newtown, Connecticut, have a "very strong case" to claw back certain payments to Jones' family, including a $1 million payment from Jones to his wife, Zensky said. U.S. bankruptcy law allows debtors or their creditors to unwind asset transfers that were made before bankruptcy in an attempt to avoid paying debts. The Sandy Hook families have investigated $62 million that Jones has transferred out of his company, Free Speech Systems (FSS), and they accuse Jones of beginning to shift more money to friends and family members as the defamation cases neared trial. Jones' attorney, Vickie Driver, said Jones was not opposed to reversing payments if they were proven to be improper, but he would prefer to appoint an independent expert for that work.

China Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Why am I not surprised? Ex-Infowars staffers describe Alex Jones as a tyrannical and abusive boss Former staffers at Alex Jones' Infowars show are speaking out, describing a turbulent and sometimes violent work environment at the infamous conspiracy theorist's network, Insider reported. Robert Jacobson, who first started working for Jones in 2004, described one incident where he was accosted by Jones after he apparently added the wrong advertisement to a product that was being marketed on the show. According to Jacobson, Jones got in his face over the matter and yelled, "You're not going to ruin me, Jacobson. You're not going to ruin me!" while being restrained by other staffers. Jacobson later testified against Jones during his first Sandy Hook damages trial. Insider's report comes as Jones media empire reels from a $1.4 billion judgment from lawsuits filed by the Sandy Hook families. Another former staffer, Josh Owens, says Jones would get heavily intoxicated and would badger and intimidate staffers. If staffers questioned Jones, it would send him into a rage where he'd "pound his chest," destroy office equipment, and sometimes even physically hurt people.

China Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 They need to appoint a conservator over Jones' finances: Alex Jones spent over $93,000 in July. Sandy Hook families who sued him have yet to see a dime Alex Jones’ personal spending is frustrating families who are trying to collect on the $1.5 billion in judgments against him for calling the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting a hoax. The conspiracy theorist and Infowars host has been paying his own wife, Erika Wulff Jones, $15,000 a month, according to the most recent spending report he filed in his bankruptcy case — payouts called “fraudulent transfers” by lawyers for some of the shooting victims’ families. Jones says they’re required under a prenuptial agreement. In July, Jones spent $7,900 on housekeeping. He dished out more than $6,300 for meals and entertainment, not including groceries, which totaled nearly $3,400 — or roughly $850 per week. A second home, his Texas lake house, cost him nearly $6,700 that month, including maintenance and property taxes, while his vehicles and boats sapped another $5,600, including insurance, maintenance and fuel.

China Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Bank that handles Infowars money appears to be cutting ties with Alex Jones' company A bank recently shut down the accounts of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' media company, citing unauthorized transactions — a move that caused panic at the business when its balances suddenly dropped from more than $2 million to zero, according to a lawyer for the company. The action last week by Axos Bank also exposed worry and doubt at the company, Free Speech Systems, about being able to find another bank to handle its money. Jones, a conservative provocateur whose Infowars program promotes fake theories about global conspiracies, UFOs and mind control, is seeking bankruptcy protection as he and his company owe $1.5 billion to relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut. The debt is the result of the families winning lawsuits against Jones for his calling the massacre that killed 26 people a hoax and his supporters threatening and harassing the victims’ families. A lawyer for Free Speech Systems, Ray Battaglia, told a federal bankruptcy judge in Houston on Tuesday that Axos Bank had shut down the company's accounts on Aug. 21 “without notice or warning.” Battaglia said he and a court-appointed overseer of Free Speech Systems’ finances were both out of the country when they received “frantic” messages about the company’s bank balances dropping to zero. Bank officials, he said, didn't provide much information. According to Battaglia, Axos claimed it had contacted Free Speech Systems in July about a transaction and the company did not respond, which Battaglia disputed. The bank also indicated there were unauthorized transactions, but didn't go into detail, he said. He said the bank informed Jones' company that it would be sending a cashier’s check for the total balance. “So we’re perplexed,” Battaglia told the bankruptcy judge. “We have no answers for the court. They (the bank) have not provided us with any.” Battaglia said the media company will have to seek another bank or take Axos to court “because we just don’t know who will bank us.” At the request of Jones’ lawyers, Axos did agree to reopen the company’s accounts for 30 days but it appears it will not extend the relationship beyond that, he said.
