But the bankruptcy judge in Houston spared Jones from liquidating the parent company of his far-right website InfoWars -- long notorious for peddling misinformation -- in a reprieve that will allow it to remain in business. The serial provocateur had been ordered to pay the damages for calling a 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook ...
