A company partially owned by Alex Jones is asking a judge to allow a court-appointed trustee to review the bankrupt Infowars parent’s finances, a request that could delay Sandy Hook victim families’ attempt to remove him from the chapter 11 proceeding, Bloomberg Law reported. PQPR Holdings Ltd., which is owned by the right-wing conspiracist and his parents, on Wednesday said it would pay up to $100,000 for an examination of bankrupt Free Speech Systems LLC’s finances by the bankruptcy trustee working on the case. Free Speech, a Jones-controlled company which operates his website Infowars, declared bankruptcy in July after a state court ordered him to pay judgments for his lies that the 2012 school massacre was a hoax. Last month, a jury awarded two parents nearly $50 million in damages. PQPR’s motion comes after families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims last week asked a Texas bankruptcy court to remove Jones and his bankrupt company from running its operations and chapter 11 proceedings. The families’ requests to remove Jones should be put on hold until a trustee has reported its findings to the court, PQPR said. PQPR, which is listed as one of the largest creditors of Free Speech, is partially owned by Jones through several limited liability companies and managed by Jones’ father, according to court papers. Jones father and mother also hold interests in PQPR via separate limited liability companies, according to court records.
