Alex Jones received a donation worth almost $64,000 this week

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones receives a Bitcoin donation, but will the victims of his defamation ever get that money? Dozens of  white supremacist gang members are arrested in Southern California, and neo-Nazis continue to flee the messaging app Telegram.
It’s the week in extremism.
Ever since losing high-profile defamation lawsuits and being ordered to pay more than a billion dollars in damages to his victims, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been trying to maintain his lavish lifestyle. Researchers at the Southern Poverty Law Center, who have been keeping a close eye on Jones’ Bitcoin wallet, noticed a sizable donation last week. Does Jones get to keep the money?
It’s unclear whether last week’s donation will be subject to the bankruptcy proceedings and will eventually go to the people Jones defamed.An attorney  representing Jones’ victims declined to comment on the donation. Jones did not respond to a request for comment.
Dozens of suspected members of a Los Angeles-area white supremacist gang were arrested this week as part of a sweeping operation by federal law enforcement. The 68 alleged gang members are charged with racketeering, firearms trafficking, drug trafficking and financial fraud.
“The Peckerwoods’ violent white-supremacist ideology and wide-ranging criminal activity pose a grave menace to our community,” United States Attorney Martin Estrada said in a statement. “By allegedly engaging in everything from drug-trafficking to firearms offenses to identity theft to COVID fraud, and through their alliance with a neo-Nazi prison gang, the Peckerwoods are a destructive force.”
Ever since the arrest of social media platform Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov in France in August, far-right users of the encrypted messaging service have been abandoning it for new havens. A new report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank that studies global extremism and disinformation, shows this trend is continuing. 
That’s how many bridges in Pittsburgh were draped with banners displaying Nazi symbols last Saturday. An investigation is underway into the incident.
