Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis awarded the families over $323 million in common law punitive damages for attorney’s fees and costs and $150 million in damages under a state law called the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, which prohibits unfair competition and deceptive acts.
” The lies spawned multiple lawsuits and a trial was held in September and October over lawsuits that were filed in Connecticut. The plaintiffs in that lawsuit throughout the trial described in poignant terms how the lies had prompted unrelenting harassment against them and compounded the emotional agony of losing their loved ones. CNN has reached out to Alex Jones’ attorney for comment. It’s unclear when or how much of the money the plaintiffs will ultimately see.
Freedom of speech?
He needs to keep his trap closed or he will soon be poor…here’s hoping
Fact Check - $1bn? Abuse of power. Can we fine the Pharmaceutical CEO's that much?
intimidation tactic.
This is just stupid at this point and makes me want to learn more about the issue with Alex Jones
Gots to be more careful what you say they took this man to the wood shed twice………
Karma
I love it
This Troll needs to spend time in jail. Two years would be a good start and possibly in the Louisiana jail, Angola.
I hope he had his funds stashed with FTX
Good this abrasive ignorant wretch of a man should go flat busted broke . Hell bent on being famous so he does and says anything like Trump and his mindless followers. Buy an island then you can all live on it together in your own world
Yes!!!
What a despicable human being. He brought it all on himself
I’d appeal until I died.
How the fuck can’t u share ur opinion on a case and get sued for billions ?! Free speech my ass…
'Thirty pieces of silver'
Deserves everything he gets.A disgusting creature.
He deserves everything he gets. What a disgusting thing he is.
Good for him.
he's a funny man.
this is your punishment for not saving sexy alexy over in moscow from his prison sentence.
The conspiracy news channel CNN forgot that it's being appealed.
Sign the check or go to jail!!!
Sticks and stones. This is ridiculous.
Man, imagine if alcohol companies had to pay out for the deaths and suffering they have caused.
Yep
mrjamesob So he's saved $400m ...
Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me
Cnn should pay considering you have mentioned Sandy Hook 1 billion more times than Alex Jones xD
There is a difference between free speech and hate speech. He deserves all he gets.
HosseinRonaghi is one of the respected activists the Islamic Republic kidnapped in the early days of IranRevolution in order to minimise their influence. Like many others, he's been under torture and his health is deteriorating fast, as he's also on hunger strike. MahsaAmini
This guy represent America and this sentence it’s an attack on America
He will never have to pay that let's be real here.
I'm not even shure what he did but unless he did the shooting then what the fuck is he blamed?
Heartless fat slob !
How can he pay what he doesn’t have? He’s not the federal government and can just print money
This was merely a ''message''. A clown-court. The families will never see a dime. It's hilarious how people blame Alex for anything relating to this. The same people that blame Alex for this, are the same people that defend streamers when their audience witch-hunts.....
It escapes me. What good is the absurd amount he must pay, according to the jury's verdict? It's evident that it's a ridiculous number that almost no one on the earth could ever even come close to hitting.
Aside from Russia (apparently) retreating from Kherson, this has to be the best news I've read on Twitter for a while. 📰😊😊 If 'icing on the cake' had an example, it would be EXACTLY this. I've never been so overjoyed another persons misfortune. He deserves it too.
Lol eat it
Cartoon
I'm not an Alex Jones fan but I find it funny that CNN calls him a 'Conspiracy Theorist' when all they did for the past 6 years has been promoting the fake Russian Collusion and 'nothing to see here' Biden laptop ...
And Jeffery Epstein and Maxwell ran an international pedophile ring with no clients.
Justice!
MalcolmNance Free speech, ha. Human decency matters, kindness matters. He deserves every penalty and/or charge.
MalcolmNance Good. Hope it’s enough to take this soulless person down.
MalcolmNance Good
Asking him for money he didn't have. He did apologize his mistake, but they sued him anyway. People too who he never even met or talked about. I do understand the families, but be fair with the money. Because now it looks like more about destroy him, than get justice
It’s not enough
Lol.....
MalcolmNance 😂😂😂🤑🤑🤑
Very nice!
MalcolmNance Bankrupt the fucker.
MalcolmNance
MalcolmNance There's a special place in hell for Alex.
MalcolmNance 😂
MalcolmNance Couldn’t happen to a better guy😁🤩
MalcolmNance 👍👏👏👏👏👏🙏
What a joke
mrjamesob The best news I've heard for some time.
Should have been a trillion damm fool
Lol. 'there's no money'
The only people who will get paid are the attorneys.
Yay!
Jones has proof that no one died at Snadyhook. He produced evidence to this effect. Trump 100% supports him. why are you ignoring Alex Jones' evidence that zero people were killed and it was all actors employed by the NWO?
The courts are doing a phenomenal job of making people feel sorry for Alex Jones, and they’re doing a phenomenal job at making themselves look like a bigger joke than they already are.
Dude should get a parade and this is how they treat him? Smh
ALEX you have a very EXPENSIVE BIG MOUTH that spews only CRAP !!!
But the laws has the biggest impact allowing allkinds of nut jobs owning firearms.
How about the same penalty as the shooter
For words. Words.
Funny how Ukraine is getting another 400million🤔
Great, He should have not peddled lies.
Ok now I’m as broke as Alex Jones. 😂
Why is this fat b*stard still out there on podcasts spewing lies?
mrjamesob Why is no one doing this to the west boro baptist church?
Oh well never mind
Punishing people for opinions that hurt feelings. Adult children.
😂😂😂😂
Only in America, corrupt governments can kill (thousands, or even millions of) people for profits and claim the moral high-ground...
idk, whats the point if he cant pay it? I think each parent should get 2 hit him 5x. no protection 4 him & they can use brass knuckles
Deserves it!!
how people are lynched in the modern era. kanye and kyrie, as well.
He won't pay a dime unfortunately.
Love is in the air
That's insane and unjustified.
What a fool! Low life.
Don’t like what he said.. great.. carry on? I don’t even get what was really argued here to logically allow for such rulings? Makes for a total farce IMO
Money fascism at work, no more 1A
We still haven't heard who Epstein was providing underage girls for but Jones has to pay billions for saying what he thinks.... everything is completely fucked up!!
MillionMomsMeet I can't wait until he has to auction off his personal property
He’s a clown but almost 2 billion worth ? No way . They’re trying to make this man into the example
NOT rocket science. Spewing lies &conspiracy theories IS stealing truth from those who depend on it to honor legacies &historical data. Truth is essential for victims to move forward so that the rule of justice may prevail; making theft priceless &remedies limitless.
Anyone ever heard of bankruptcy?
Why not make it 300 billion. So ridiculously stupid 🤣
If their kids had been murdered by the government they would not get this amount. The ratio of money included, nobody, not even the interned Japanese or slaves (nothing) got this amount
DakotasChild1 Does that mean that the MAGA and Q turds who harassed these families will also be liable for compensating these victims of abuse and terrorist threats?
Silly,…
This is just Stalinist show trials.
Oh shit they taking him to the cleaners 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ever hear .. can’t get blood out of a turnip!!
🤡🤡🤡
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seriously unless you are a billionaire, suing someone for that amount of money which they’ll never have, is pointless. JusticeCantCount 🤷🏽♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good…his relentless and intentional comments to spread lies about this tragedy has had serious consequences on the people involved. He chose to to do this…and choices have consequences.
'Alex Jones has been ordered to pay nearly half a billion dollars' 👍🥳
Free speech isn’t free. It’s actually 1.5 billion dollar speech
The GOP will cover it
Aw
This is an on going joke
Man this is unrealistic
Bahahahahahahahaha I know he won't pay much, which is good. This is unconstitutional. Very unfair, how about they sue the school for not providing protection for their children. Hmmm
Does anyone think Alex Jones will actually Pay one penny of those Judgments against him. Highly unlikely.
So someone is ordered to pay nearly $1.6billion but hasn't even got a billion what's the point.
Y’all know he’s gonna do all he can to dodge this, right? He doesn’t give a shit.
😂😂😂👍👍
Does he have half a billion dollars?
Only in America: 'You offended me. I'm now LEGALLY entitled to YOUR money.'
👍
mrjamesob Such a shame.
how did Alex Jones hurt them?... did he hurt their feelings? grow up. TRUMP2024ToSaveAmerica
Send him to prison.
Hmm, already knew this.
So ridiculous. Money makes everything better.
This isn’t logical or reasonable. This is pure politics.
How much did the shooter pay?
Who is he. Does he own a company or something.
When you see these you know it's called intimidating tactics. Yet we're seeing these stupid commercials begging us to watch. Well this is why CNN will NEVER be locked on my screen
Not enough, he needs major jail time
Sweet. Very well deserved.
Jones should liven misery the rest of his pathetic life.
They can't silence the truth by stealing your money. Be careful with your voice though. This fake democracy is stealing our voice. It's time to put it out of commission for good. We need to be come up with a final solution. An ethical and final solution is sought! Suggestions?
Boy, 1.5 billion, that's a lot of supplements to sell
Lolololololol
Good, bankrupt the fkkker.
Money will never cover these families pain or bring their little angels back. But do I feel bad for Alex Jones having to cough up more money for lying about something so horrible?…. ABSOLUTELY NOT! It sickens me how this man make fake claims on a tragedy
One wonders how the fuck he accumulated that amount of wealth?
Nobody will get a dime and he will keep doing what he does lol
Wouldn't the families want to have more information if it's out there?... this involves asking questions... that's the only way you get accurate answers
mrjamesob More. There should be no hope of him ever getting out from under this.
Good.
mrjamesob Oh dear what a shame never mind.
What wonderful news. I am so sorry those families had to go through the agony of what they initially had to endure and then the continued harassment by evil, despicable human beings.
Russian Collusion was a conspiracy theory too untill it was fully debunked yet here CNN labeling someone else a conspiracy theorist, CNN also is an election denier along with all their 100s of viewers
Hate to see it
Ouch. 😂😂😂
mrjamesob Feel schadenfreude and sympathy at the same time. Is that even possible?
What a low life, he is taking the piss, he knows what he says is untrue! As long as he was making money he didn’t care what damage he did to people affected.
The only ones who will see any money from this is lawyers.
He won’t pay a dime.
Can’t they do the same to the instigators of January 6th and the Big Lie ?
Good luck with that!
So his net worth is - 1 billion plus dollars. Let’s see how this goes!!!!!
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving man.
Ahh shame!
You mean, convicted Defamatory liar Alex Jones has been ordered to pay. It's sad to watch a former leader in news become just another alt-reich propaganda machine.
CNN promotes everything tyrannical to the gullible masses. If you think this is good news just climb in your cage and eat your cricket.
Why not a trillion. Is just a number
Anyone ok with this is the problem. The government and media lies to us daily and does arguably worse than Jones did to those families. Can I sue you for millions?
He clearly deserves to be held accountable for his horrible behavior. But does he have 1.5 billion dollars? I do not understand that dollar amount. How do they expect to ever get that much money from him?
Aren’t you the network that told us COVID vaccines would prevent someone from getting COVID? Didn’t you also claim that a person could not transmit the virus if vaccinated? Both lies. No one believes anything you write. Just stop.
What about the government for spreading misinformation about the covid vaccine
Lol. Might as well tell him he owes a gazillion dollars
mrjamesob
He goes way too far way too often, but all of this seems extreme. A bit scary as far as freedom of speech and thought.
Wonder if Trump and his buddies will help out with the payment
They'll never see a penny
So satisfying to see people like him fall so hard on their face.
Another good decision. His lies had devastating impacts.
mrjamesob
I never previously thought I could feel sorry for Alex Jones, and I still don't.
Still not enough.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't get it. What's the point of the astronomical sum he has been convicted to pay? It's obviously a fantasy number that practically nobody on the planet could ever even get close to settle.
Lol this is ridiculous. This judge needs to be removed.
Don't ever doubt the crazy, racist things you hear about Texas! This guy was born in Dallas and is just the tip of the iceberg. I know, I was born and raised in Texas.
Need a loan til payday, Al?
What does that work out to per month?
You will get the same amount out of him at 2 million vs 2 trillion. In fact racking up the charges only encourages him to continue doing business to pay the charges.
May he rot in Hell!
check is in the mail right Alex..
Whomp whomp
good luck finding those shoeboxes
Good! The dirtbag got what he deserved!
Watch what you say Clay Clark...
Leave Alex Jones alone
look at my boobs😘
Does be even have that 😂😂
This is insane! He’s entitled to his opinion.
It's because of the shape shifting lizards. They just use the hook thing to help trash him.
It will never ever get paid. It’s all a bit pathetic really.
Those celebrating this one sided justice system forget one thing the coin has two sides and time changes everything turns masters to slaves and slaves to masters one way or another you will find yourself in the mix
I think I should look at podcasts and videos of celebrities to find out what offended me rather than buying lotto tickets. Its a sure shot win. Lol
Once again Alex Jones had become the most worthless human being in history.
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say
Good! Except he's not the one paying, but those he milks with his grift do...
Who takes our justice system seriously.
sob
His credit card is maxed out.
🎥
Good. No reason for him to do that. Actually a couple billion reasons….sorry
This does nothing put him in jail !!!
He will answer to the families, and God. This “man” is nothing more than a snake profiting off of the misery and pain of others. It’s the most egregious thing!
If he just shut his mouth 😭
What’s the current grand total that he owes? Are we over a billion yet? I’ve lost count.
As he should.
what should i have for dinner tonight? tacos?
Dude on pace to be more in debt than the USA
Womp de Womp
Alex Jones is a crisis actor
L M F A O
Lol
