Bidders interested in acquiring the media company founded by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones will battle it out at a bankruptcy auction Wednesday, potentially silencing his Infowars broadcasting platform for good.
"All you leftists celebrating the end of Alex Jones and Infowars, you're fools," he said.
Jay Westbrook, a University of Texas bankruptcy law professor, said the ultimate goal would be to earn a "maximum return for the victims."
Jones, 50, founded Infowars, which operates under Free Speech Systems, in 1999.
"Despite the judgment, Alex Jones still has a First Amendment right to speak his mind and continue to speak about anything he wants," he said.
