Alex Jones owes $965 million to eight family members of Sandy Hook shooting victims and a first responder. But it is far from clear how much of that money they’ll ever see.

Jones was hit with that staggering jury award Wednesday for compensatory damages caused by his repeated lies about the shooting. Plaintiffs in the case in a Connecticut court testified about the pain and suffering caused by Jones’ false claims that the 2012 shooting was staged, and that the families and first responders were “crisis actors.” A separate pair of family members in a similar suit in Texas won a $49.3 million jury verdict in August. But $45.

Although there was some testimony about family members having to pay for increased security due to harassment caused by Jones’ broadcasts, most of the damages were to compensate them for the emotional distress he caused them. Plaintiffs in the case said the reason they sued was to stop Alex Jones from continuing to spread lies and hurt other people.
