Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones received a significant Bitcoin donation, raising questions about whether his defamation victims will ever see the money. Despite being ordered to pay over $1 billion in damages to families of Sandy Hook victims, Jones has not paid anything yet. Last week, a donor sent Jones one Bitcoin, valued at almost $64,000. The donation came from someone with millions of dollars in cryptocurrency, but it is unclear if it will be subject to bankruptcy proceedings. Jones is set to auction off his media platform to raise money for the judgments.
In other news, dozens of white supremacist gang members were arrested in Southern California for racketeering, firearms trafficking, and drug trafficking. The Peckerwoods, a white supremacist gang, were found to be involved in various criminal activities. Additionally, neo-Nazis are fleeing the messaging app Telegram for a new platform with enhanced privacy features, following the arrest of Telegram’s founder.
A report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows that neo-Nazi groups are migrating to the new platform, with one group already having almost 1,000 members. The report also tracks accelerationist groups, which promote a race war to bring about a new global order. In Pittsburgh, two bridges were recently draped with banners displaying Nazi symbols, prompting an investigation into the incident.
