Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is asking the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting victims to accept a settlement of $5.5 million a year for ten years. This means they would receive $55 million in total if they accepted this offer.
Jones falsely claimed that the victims were “crisis actors” trying to further gun control legislation.
Under the proposal, they could be granted more money depending on Jones’ income.
Those who would accept this deal would have to give up all legal claims against Jones or any party related to him.
Chris Mattei, the lead trial counsel for the families in Connecticut, made it clear that Jones’ proposal is not a serious one.
The families filed a counterproposal, which was focused on liquidating nearly all of Jones’ assets. Some of the assets they referred to were those related to his right-wing media company, Infowars.

Conservative commentator and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones won’t be able to use personal bankruptcy to protect him from paying more than $1 billion in damages to families affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012.
In December, Jones filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay compensatory and punitive damages for repeatedly defaming more than 20 Connecticut families.
He accused them of lying about their children’s deaths and staging the tragedy as part of a government plan to increase gun control.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Christopher Lopez rejected Jones’ attempt to dodge his sentence, citing the commentator’s “malicious and willful” intentions.
“In Jones’ case, the language of the jury instruction confirms that the damages awarded flow from the allegation of intent to harm the plaintiffs — not allegations of recklessness,” Lopez wrote in his ruling.
Chris Mattei, an attorney at the firm representing the Sandy Hook families, celebrated the outcome in a statement.
