Judge Orders Sale of Infowars, Alex Jones' Media Platform
"The Connecticut families have always sought a fair and equitable distribution of Free Speech System's assets for all of the families, and today's decision is a significant step forward," Chris Mattei of Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, one of the attorneys for the Connecticut plaintiffs, said. "[Free Speech Systems] will now be sold at auction, meaning Alex Jones will no longer own or control the company he built. This brings the families closer to their goal of holding him accountable for the harm he has caused."
