The conspiracy theorist was first found to have defamed the families of children and adults killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting three years ago. Since then, Jones has tried to use bankruptcy to hide his assets and was found to have been cheating the bankruptcy process.

Alex Jones reached the end of the road on Tuesday, when the Supreme Court flat out rejected his appeal.
CNN reported:
