The conspiracy theorist has proposed paying the families of Sandy Hook victims a fraction of the nearly $1.5 billion which they were awarded in judgements against him.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ latest bankruptcy plan would pay Sandy Hook families a minimum total of $55 million over 10 years, a fraction of the nearly $1.5 billion awarded to the relatives in lawsuits against Jones for calling the 2012 Newtown school shooting a hoax.

The families, meanwhile, have filed their own proposal seeking to liquidate nearly all of Jones’ assets, including his media company Free Speech Systems, and give the proceeds to them and other creditors.

The dueling plans, filed late Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston, will be debated and challenged over the next two months, with hearings scheduled for February that will result in a final order saying how much Jones will have to pay out.

    Jones could ask all his rich friends who are in the same business as he is to bail him out. NewsCorp, Joe Rogan, Salem Media Group, Sinclair Broadcasting could all pool their money to Defend Free Speech here.

    But they don’t.
