After $1 billion in damages, now $472 million fine for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones

On top of the nearly $1 billion (980 million euros) in damages that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was sentenced to last month, he has now also been fined $472 million (464 million euros) for the lies he spread about the shooting of a school in Sandy Hook in 2012. That’s what a judge in the US state of Connecticut ruled on Thursday. Jones claimed the massacre was staged.
