Bank that handles Infowars money appears to be cutting ties with Alex Jones' company, lawyer says
apnews.com

A bank recently shut down the accounts of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ media company, citing unauthorized transactions — a move that caused panic at the business when its balances suddenly dropped from more than $2 million to zero, according to a lawyer for the company.

The action last week by Axos Bank also exposed worry and doubt at the company, Free Speech Systems, about being able to find another bank to handle its money.

Jones, a conservative provocateur whose Infowars program promotes fake theories about global conspiracies, UFOs and mind control, is seeking bankruptcy protection as he and his company owe $1.5 billion to relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut.

This fucker should have zero dollars he owes a billion dollars to the Sandy Hook victims. He should be settling in jail fucking scumbag.

They haven't even seen a dime yet and this motherfucker has been spending it. 2 million for them finally, what a joke that it took this.

He ownes not only multiple mansions, but also has maid and cleaning crews for each one of them.

It's a disaster. He should be crashing on his brother's couch stressing about getting a paycheck. There's no justice here.
