This is after the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims rejected a settlement of $55 million over 10 years that would have seen Jones able to retain control of his assets and earn income to pay off the debt.
...While Chapter 11 protections could have led to a larger payment to the families of the victims, they feared it would allow Jones to continue broadcasting to his fans....likely leave the families with less than $4 million between them after legal bills are paid.
These normal people turning down $50+ million totally prove just how Wrong and Bad Alex Jones is. These are clearly not crisis actors, and are exactly who they appear to be. How could Alex Jones have done this to them?!
...he was ordered to pay almost $1.5 billion to the families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The victim’s families had sued Jones for defamation after he had claimed the massacre that left 26 people dead was a hoax.
The whole thing would be a joke, if it weren't so evil.
In what legal sense are those people even entitled to that money? Jones causes zero damage saying what he said, it’s not like he said the kids didn’t die or something, and everything about Sandy Hook is pretty much settled at this point. Does this just open up the door for more petty lawsuits?

Absolutely legal because anything the courts approve becomes that.
Just? Absolutely not, but that horse is now glue and tar.
