(146,816 posts)According to Mark Bankston, the current attorney is up to speed on the record unlike many of Jones' past attorneys. This is interesting in that new attorney is a criminal defense attorney
This could be fun to watch

(21,853 posts)i thought the court summarily ruled against him a few months ago for refusing to comply with court orders for documents? Didn't he already lose this case?

In a court motion filed Wednesday in Texas, the families claim that he has concealed InfoWars assets to make the company appear to be nearly bankrupt. The families were joined in the motion by another man suing Jones for falsely accusing him of carrying out the 2018 Parkland shooting. The filing was first posted online by Courthouse News. [snip]
On paper, InfoWars parent company Free Speech Systems seems to lose money every year. Yet Jones has allegedly transferred significant amounts out of the companyfinancial transactions that often coincide with legal setbacks Jones has faced in the Sandy Hook cases. After the families sued him in 2018, for example, Jones allegedly started personally withdrawing a total of $18 million from the Free Speech Systems bank account over three years, along with drawing an annual $600,000 salary.
Many of the suspicious transfers center on a mysterious company called PQPR, which the plaintiffs claim is controlled by Jones and his family members. Shortly after Jones lost his last appeal to block the defamation cases in Texas, PQPR claimed that Free Speech Systems owed it $54 millionalmost all of InfoWars assets. [more]
It doesn't look as though the attempt is going to work.

(146,816 posts)This was an attempt to cram down a plan under Subchapter 5 of Chapter 11, The US Trustee and the Sandy Hook parents objected and Jones had to dismiss the bankruptcy. The Texas plaintiffs were supposed to go to trial in May and now the first trial is next week
