Alex Jones cannot use bankruptcy protection to avoid paying $1B to Sandy Hook families, judge rules

A Texas judge ruled that Infowars host Alex Jones cannot use bankruptcy protection to avoid paying Sandy Hook massacre victims’ families more than $1.1 billion for his conspiracy theories that the 2012 shooting was a hoax.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Lopez of Houston issued the ruling Thursday.

“The families are pleased with the Court’s ruling that Jones’s malicious conduct will find no safe harbor in the bankruptcy court,” said lawyer Christopher Mattei, who represents the families. “As a result, Jones will continue to be accountable for his actions into the future regardless of his claimed bankruptcy.”

Jones filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year and, according to more recent financial documents submitted by his attorneys, his personal net worth is at around $14 million. Lopez ruled that the bankruptcy protection does not apply over findings of “willful and malicious” conduct.

Abortion clinics in Florida facing potential bankruptcy due to 24-hour law

Many abortion clinics across south Florida are facing crippling fines from the state after the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) started fining clinics for not adhering to what’s called the 24-hour law.

The law passed in 2015, and requires abortion clinics to wait a full 24 hours from the time a patient comes in for a consultation to perform the abortion.

The law was tabled for seven years amid legal battles over its constitutionality.

However, in April of 2022, a Leon County Circuit Judge upheld the law, meaning clinics now had to comply. However, many of the abortion clinics across the state told WPTV that AHCA, who regulates these laws, never told them about the change.

“It’s like this law was passed overnight, while everyone was sleeping,” said one Broward County provider, who asked WPTV not to share her name or her face.

“When did you get contacted by AHCA?” asked WPTV’s Kate Hussey.

“AHCA never contacted us. About the 24 hour? No, they never contacted us,” the provider said.

“You asked us to keep your face and name out of this story, why is that?” asked Hussey.

“So, we are not targeted for any reason,” the provider

Local Bankruptcy Attorney Weighs in on Student Loan Payments Restarting | News

Options For Student Loan Repayments

UTICA, N.Y. — 40 million.

That’s the number of Americans with student loan debt.

For some, that debt is in the thousands.

For others, it could approach a quarter of a million dollars.

During the pandemic, payments were passed by both the Trump and Biden administrations.

That pause expired in August after congress passed a provision in the debt ceiling bill that said the president could not extend the pause without an act of Congress.

This meant interest restarted on loans last month, and payments this month.

It’s an issue that bankruptcy attorney David Gruenwald sees every day.

Student loan debt is a big problem, and with the push for repayment, that could put extra pressure on households.

For some, the pressure could mean making tough decision to make those payments.

But there are options available for people struggling to make payments.

The Biden Administration recently launched the save program, which reduces payments based on a person’s income.

One lesser-known option, bankruptcy.

“The thing I want people to know is that it’s not entirely true, there’s that rumor, you can’t get rid of student loan debt through bankruptcy. That’s not entirely
