The New York Times article on this says, “This case presented the greatest financial risk to Mr. Jones, because he was found liable of violating Connecticut’s Unfair Trade Practices Act, by using lies about the shooting to sell products on Infowars.

Now they just need to convince the judge to put an **immediate** freeze on every asset Jones has or is suspected of having. Give him 15 minutes to cough up all of the money or everything he has down to his socks will be seized and auctioned off. ---
