A federal judge on Friday ordered the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ′ personal assets but dismissed his company’s separate bankruptcy case, leaving the future of his Infowars media platform uncertain as he owes $1.5 billion for his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

Judge Christopher Lopez approved converting Jones’ proposed personal bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation, but threw out the attempted reorganization of his company, Austin, Texas-based Free Speech Systems. Many of the Sandy Hook families had asked that the company also be liquidated.

He will need to leave the country. And be an illegal immigrant somewhere, living in relative secrecy.

Victor Orban might take him in

If he can manage to win another election. This hasn’t been his best year in his 14 year reign.

I hope that happens but I don’t generally expect authoritarians to give a damn about elections

But how is the opposition, really? Eg. Péter Magyar frankly seems like a shrewd opportunist who's liable to end up just being more of the same, being an ex-Fidesz flunky

Maybe someone will fall out of a window accidentally
