The claim that Alex Jones was fined $150 billion for warning about COVID-19 ‘crimes’ is false. While Jones has been ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion to the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims, there is no evidence to support the claim that he was fined for COVID-19-related offenses. Jones used his Infowars show to promote conspiracy theories over the years, including false claims about the Sandy Hook shooting being staged. He has faced lawsuits from the families of the victims and has filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay substantial damages. Despite this, there has been no legal action against Jones related to COVID-19 statements. The reference to Mark Zuckerberg in the claim relates to allegations that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor COVID-19 content in 2021. Overall, while Jones has faced legal trouble for his actions, the claim of a $150 billion fine in relation to COVID-19 warnings is not true.
