Alex Jones offers $55 million over 10 years to settle Sandy Hook lawsuit claims
TL;DR Summary
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has proposed to pay $55m over 10 years to the Sandy Hook families who sued him for spreading lies about the 2012 school massacre. A Texas judge ruled that Jones cannot use bankruptcy protection to avoid paying the nearly $1.5bn he was ordered to pay. Jones's offer includes a lump sum payment of at least $5.5m annually, a percentage of his personal revenue, and a portion of Infowars revenue. The families' lawyers had previously proposed a settlement of at least $8.5m annually for 10 years. The new plan requires court approval, with final hearings scheduled for late February.
