That then led to years of abuse from people who believed the shooting was a hoax, he has said. In a Sept. 15 letter to Christopher Mattei, a lawyer who represents Sandy Hook families, Martin suggested he was scrutinizing Aldenberg's role in the lawsuit. “Thanks to the courage of the Sandy Hook families, Infowars will soon be finished,” he said, referring to the families’ efforts in court to liquidate Jones’ assets to help pay the judgment. Relatives of the shooting victims testified that they were subjected to violent threats, in-person harassment and abusive comments on social media because of Jones. The Sandy Hook plaintiffs are now trying to liquidate Infowars' assets in state court proceedings in Texas.
