Ha ha, sucks to be Alex Jones. They're announcing the verdicts right now, but the damages to the plaintiffs are already over $800 million.
Edit: Total of over one billion. I hope they take everything he's got and everything he may make in the future.
Aw, yeah, every penny!

Fuck yeah! Astonishing that somebody can be held accountable for their cruel and damaging lies.
Couldn’t have happened to a worse asshole.
Of course he's already broke, don't ya know. I wonder how long he can drag this out. At the very least I hope it perhaps stops others who might choose to be so cruel for profit.
Timelies all!
I agree that he should lose everything.
From what I understand Alex Jones isn't as broke as he claims--he's been hiding some money around in different ways. Like when he filed for bankruptcy before the other trial one company he listed as the major company his owed money to was also owned by him. And I think there have been other issues with him trying to escape financial responsibility with shell companies and not being very good about hiding the ownership of the companies.
Although I just read that this award is for compensatory damages which could be discharged if he successfully files for bankruptcy. BUT any punitive damages can't be discharged by bankruptcy and the the punitive damages for Connecticut haven't been decided yet ---which means there will be more damages that Jones owes.
Honestly I'm hoping he does something super illegal while trying to hide funds or move money around and gets criminal charges brought against him.
I just said to my mother that he should be in prison, and she said he should be flogged in a public square, which sounded about right.
I thought his bankruptcy filings in advance of that Texas case were already pretty damn fraudulent?
I'd like to see him rot in jail for the rest of his life, but if he keeps digging himself in deeper with all these courtroom and money hiding shenanigans and becomes a huge siphon for donations that would otherwise go to Far Right politicians, it might be an acceptable consolation prize.
