    As I understand it, civil judgements are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. Even if Alex sells everything he owns, that won’t be enough to pay off his share of the judgement and so any income he makes post-Infowars will be subject to garnishment.

    So yeah. He’ll continue making the right-wing circles, and he’ll be hawking his dad’s boner pills, but at least the Sandy Hook families will start getting what he owes them.

      Unfortunately there are still a million ways for him to live in luxury and not have any “official” income.

          That’s of course what he’ll do, and unfortunately I think there is little that can be done legally.

        Yes, but the families can keep going after him for failing to pay.

        Which is probably his goal, since his entire legal strategy so far has been to delay: hope the families and/or their lawyers stop going after him due to the massive amount of time and money it would cost to keep taking him to court.

          You’re missing the point - they can only go after his money or his company’s money. He has people around him who he could work as a minimum wage employee for (on paper), while living on “their” money.
