Alex Jones, who spread lies about the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, has dropped efforts to declare bankruptcy and avoid paying $1.5 billion in damages he owes the victims' families.

Infowars founder Alex Jones speaks to the media outside Waterbury Superior Court during his trial in September 2022 in Waterbury, Conn.

Chris Mattei, an attorney representing some of the Sandy Hook families, said Jones is on the"brink of justice" and the victims' relatives are determined to keep him accountable. Liquidating will not be nearly enough to cover the amount owed to the families, but it will likely force Jones to forgo ownership of his alt-right outlet, Infowars, where he spewed false conspiracy theories for 25 years.

On Sunday, the victims' families filed an emergency motion in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston, asking the court to liquidate Free Speech Systems. The bankruptcy judge is scheduled make a decision on June 14.
