I don't believe you can just get someone's domains and radio show etc simply due to defamation. Now if he loses and can't pay, then they can potentially try and come after assets but that relies on the plaintiffs playing their cards exactly right in the trial as well as other matters. But as scurrilous as alex jones is, I'd imagine he's got his business entities firewalled, only the best legal teams could get through it. but maybe he is really dumb.
You don't get his assets because of just the defamation.. You get the assets if they win the case and get a judgement he can't pay. If he can't pay, then they seize his assets to attempt to pay out the judgment. This is what I'm hoping to see. I'm hoping they win a judgement so big he can't afford to pay and has to give up his show assets along with future wage garnishments so he can't just restart with a slightly changed name.
