The Infowars host filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in court in Houston, Texas, just weeks after being ordered to pay the series of mammoth court judgments.

Jones, 48, listed his assets as being between $1 million and $10 million — but his liabilities between $1 billion and $10 billion.

The bankruptcy filing was widely expected after Jones was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion in damages to relatives of victims of the 2012 Connecticut school shooting for repeatedly calling it a hoax.
