      Debt and legal provisions, basically. Jones isn't a financially independent person anymore. He kept losing court cases to the Sandy Hook survivors to the point they decided to liquidate his company. He owes them an astounding amount of money for libel and damages, like in the billions.

        losing court cases

        It's actually a lot stupider. He kept defaulting on court cases by not showing up. If he had shown up with a mildly competent lawyer he would literally have walked away with his legal fees paid.

        Yeah, in the first couple of weeks after the news of his billion dollar judgement, he was already trying. He had like a "new" show that he promised was totally different and separate from IW and the judge was like yeah no.

      He's already admitted he's going to do that.

      Jones had said on his show that “good guys” had been trying to bid on Infowars to keep him in place, but that even if they fail, he’ll keep broadcasting on new platforms and new social media accounts.
