    Alex Jones and his lawyers were repeatedly warned that if they did not participate they would receive a default judgement.

    From a contemporary article:

    Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis cited the defendants’ “willful noncompliance” with the discovery process as the reasoning behind the ruling. Bellis noted that defendants failed to turned over financial and analytics data that were requested multiple times by the Sandy Hook family plaintiffs.

    It was so much fun fucking around, Alex, but the time has come to find out.

      I encourage everyone to check out the Knowledge Fight podcast, specifically the “Formulaic Objections” episodes series.

      It’s “annotated” audio footage from the depositions of Alex and his coworkers/conspirators.

      It is the best evidence that he’s just making it all up, and trying to make as much money as possible while dodging any kind of accountability.

      Its also “annotated” by two real funny fellas. Worth a listen for sure.

      Also some phenomenal work by the lawyers just constantly giving him just enough rope to hang himself.
