Alex Jones reveals Infowars may shut down as its assets are auctioned off to repay Sandy Hook victims for hoax claims

Alex Jones warned his viewers that Infowars could close in the coming days as he prepares to auction off his assets.

The auction stems from Jones’ personal bankruptcy case, which he filed in late 2022 after the Sandy Hook families were awarded nearly $1.5 billion in damages in lawsuits in Connecticut and Texas over his claims that the school shooting was a hoax.

Potential buyers who are approved after submitting bids and non-disclosure agreements can participate in a live auction on Wednesday.

The conspiracy theorist shared on his show Monday that depending on who buys the company, Infowars may have to close.

“Infowars could be shut down on Wednesday if a hostile buyer takes action. Infowars will continue if the good guys can win the auction,” Jones said on X.

He noted that crews were taking inventory and preparing for the auction while he was on the air.

“Wednesday afternoon, Infowars, the equipment … and a lot of other things are up for a federal bankruptcy auction,” Jones said.

“I saw the auctioneers going around the building doing research from the last time they were here, making sure all the stuff is here.

“Everything tagged, everything marked, this desk, these tables, this microphone. They’re in the control room now, so that’s how close this is.”

Jones has vowed to continue his talk show until the end and said he is pursuing other means to keep the program alive.

“Good guys say they’re going to buy it… as the countdown goes, if the bad guys buy this in 48 hours, we’ll know. “I’ll keep broadcasting until they show up and they say they want to stop broadcasting that day,” he said.

“I’ll stay on the air until the last minute because we don’t give up until the last minute.”

Jones has made millions of dollars over the years selling nutritional supplements, clothing, survival gear, books and other items that he promotes on his shows, which air on the Internet and on dozens of radio stations.

It is unclear how much money would be raised by selling the Infowars and Jones assets, and how much money the Sandy Hook families would get.

Jones has approximately $9 million in personal assets, according to court records. According to previous court testimony, Free Speech Systems has approximately $6 million in cash and approximately $1.2 million in inventory on hand.

Both opponents and supporters of the fringe internet show and radio host have expressed interest in bidding for the Infowars properties he has built over the past 25 years. They include Roger Stone, an ally of Jones and Donald Trump, and anti-Jones progressive media groups.

For sale is everything from Jones’ studio desk to Infowars’ name, video archive, social media accounts and product trademarks. Buyers can even purchase an armored truck and video cameras.

Jones said the 2012 shooting that left 20 first-graders and six teachers dead in Newtown, Connecticut, was a hoax staged by crisis actors to encourage more gun control.

The Sandy Hook families have sued Jones and his company for defamation and emotional distress for repeatedly saying on his show that the 2012 shooting that killed 20 first-graders and six teachers in Newtown, Connecticut, was a staged hoax by crisis actors to encourage more arms control.

Parents and children of many of the victims testified that they were traumatized by Jones’ hoax conspiracies and threats from his followers.

Jones, who has since acknowledged the shooting occurred, is appealing the verdicts.
