Net proceeds from any sales will go to Sandy Hook families who won some $1.5 billion in damages from Jones for spreading lies that the 2012 school shooting never happened. Some of Jones\u2019 followers harassed and threatened the families for years.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attorneys for a group of the families called Tuesday\u2019s decision \u201ca significant step forward\u201d toward a \u201cfair and equitable\u201d resolution for all of the families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFSS will now be sold at auction, meaning Alex Jones will no longer own or control the company he built,\u201d said attorney Chris Mattei. \u201cThis brings the families closer to their goal of holding him accountable for the harm he has caused.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A court-appointed trustee for Jones\u2019 personal bankruptcy case has already begun the process of auctioning off the components of Free Speech Systems, the parent company of Infowars.
