Waterbury, Connecticut - Alex Jones and his company Free Speech Systems have been ordered by a judge to pay additional big bucks to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting, bringing his total owed to over $1 billion.

On Thursday morning, Judge Barbara Bellis imposed an additional $473 million to be paid in punitive damages, bringing the total sum of Jones' money owed to $1.44 billion, according to the AP.

"The record clearly supports the plaintiffs' argument that the defendants' conduct was intentional and malicious, and certain to cause harm by virtue of their infrastructure, ability to spread content, and massive audience including the infowarriors," Bellis wrote in her ruling.

The families of children killed in the elementary school shooting sued Jones for defamation after he used his media company and show to spread fake conspiracy theories that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax created by the US government to take guns away from citizens, claiming the victims and their families were "crisis actors."

In October, the trial resulted in Jones and his company being ordered to pay $965 million in damages to the plaintiffs.

Jones immediately took to his show on Thursday to complain about the new round of damages, calling them "ridiculous" and a "joke," and sharing that he can't afford what he owes.

"They know full well the bankruptcy going on and all the rest of it, that it'll show what I've got and that's it, and I have almost nothing," he explained.

Jones will face a third and final trial for his remarks, set to begin at the end of the year in Texas.
