    Alex Jones, who runs the site "InfoWars" is a conspiracy theorist who relentlessly spread the lie that the Sandy Hook shooting never happened, and was just a government plot to implement stricter gun laws.

    Because of this, the families of those killed have put up with endless harassment from his followers. These range from being confronted in public to desecration of graves.

    He won't be able to pay it, since I don't even think he's a millionaire? But the families now have vindication.

    An economist claimed Jones has a networth of over $150 million. Jones denied it.

    Either way it doesn't matter, he will be out of cash and out of options at the end of this. He's been cut from any sort of platform. His only voice became making appearances on the Joe Rogan Podcast. He can't even do that anymore because Rogan took a deal with Spotify, and they do not want anything to do with Jones.

    Well, $150 million spread between the plaintiffs is still quite a lot. I have a feeling that winning the case and being proven true was most important to them but they do deserve compensation.
