Alex Jones ordered to pay $473M more to families

A Connecticut judge Thursday ordered Infowars founder Alex Jones and his company to pay an additional $473 million to the families of eight victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.

The families and an FBI agent sued Jones for spreading misinformation about the 2012 mass shooting in which 20 children and six teachers were killed in an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Judge Barbara Bellis’s order comes nearly a month after Jones was ordered to pay $965 million in damages to the families ina multiyear legal battle.

Jones, who has argued he does not have the funds to pay for the damages, was also ordered not to transfer his assets outside of the United States.
