The majority of the families are accusing a set of parents in Texas of attempting a “money grab” that would get them “outsized recoveries.” The trustee has asked the bankruptcy court to intervene.

Infowars host Alex Jones addresses the conservative Turning Point People's Convention earlier this month at Huntington Place in Detroit.

The families won nearly $1.5 billion in damages in two separate defamation suits against Jones for spreading lies that the 2012 school shooting never happened. The majority of the families, which are in Connecticut, are accusing a set of parents in Texas of attempting a “money grab” that would get them “outsized recoveries,” possibly leaving the rest of the families with little to nothing.

Writing in an emergency motion to stop the parents’ collection attempt, trustee Christopher R. Murray says “the specter of a pell-mell seizure of FSS’s assets, including its cash, threatens to throw the business into chaos,” which would amount to a “value-destructive money grab” that he argues would imperil plans to “wind-up FSS’s operations and liquidate its inventory.”
