Alex Jones,Connecticut,Legal Proceedings

A federal bankruptcy judge has stopped an effort by the parents of a boy killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting to begin collecting on some of the $50 million they won in a lawsuit against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

FILE - Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones speaks to the media after arriving at the federal courthouse for a hearing in front of a bankruptcy judge, Friday, June 14, 2024, in Houston. A federal bankruptcy judge Thursday, June 27, stopped an effort by the parents of a boy killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting to collect on some of the $50 million owed to them by Jones and his company for his claims that the massacre was a hoax.

, the multimillion dollar money-maker Jones has built over the past 25 years by selling dietary supplements, survival gear and other merchandise. Murray had filed a motion Sunday asking Lopez to halt Lewis and Heslin’s collection efforts in state court, saying they would interfere with the shut down and liquidation of Jones’ company.Lopez converted Jones’ personal bankruptcy reorganization case into a liquidation

“Our clients are frustrated that they will not be allowed to pursue their state court rights after all,” said Mark Bankston, a lawyer for Lewis and Heslin. “Apparently this case will remain in limbo much to Mr. Jones’ delight while the other group of plaintiffs insist they are entitled to nearly all the recovery.”
