Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Wednesday said he has less than $12 million of the $1.5 billion he owes the families of Sandy Hook school shooting victims, but they immediately questioned the accuracy of his statements.

He questioned whether Jones would fully disclose his finances.Jones said in court filings that he needs more time to file detailed financial reports because his personal finances are "somewhat disorganized.
