Description: An anonymous donor has sent right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones $1 million in Bitcoin after the charlatan’s businesses declared bankruptcy in April. The wallet was publicly advertised on the InfoWars website to solicit donations and just days after the massive donation was placed, Jones withdrew the $1.3 million of cryptocurrency from the wallet, and then removed the wallet from his website.

An investigation by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog found that on April 23, an unidentified individual transferred 26 Bitcoin — worth roughly $40,000 each at the time — to a crypto wallet known to be controlled by Jones, according to blockchain data. (The wallet, one of four Jones used to openly solicit donations on his Infowars website, contained an estimated $37,000 in cryptocurrency before the massive Bitcoin transfer.) Just days later, on April 27, Jones withdrew all funds from the wallet and, according to SPLC Senior Investigative Reporter Michael Edison Hayden, quickly removed the wallet from Infowars’ donation page. At the time of the transfer, the wallet contained a whopping $1,387,673.19." *** The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian.
