Summary
A company tied to Alex Jones, First United American Companies, is challenging The Onion’s winning bid to acquire Infowars in bankruptcy court, alleging fraud and collusion with the Sandy Hook families and the auction trustee.
The Onion’s $1.75M bid included incentives benefiting other creditors, which the trustee deemed superior to the $3.5M cash bid from the Jones-affiliated company.
The trustee rejected the allegations as baseless, describing the motion as an attempt to interfere with the auction process, while The Onion intends to transform Infowars into a parody site.
A hearing has been ordered to review the auction process.
It’s almost like they don’t understand that the whole reason Alex Jones is forced to sell Infowars is because he victimized a whole bunch of people who would not like to see anyone else go through what they endured.
Hopefully judge laughs in their face because this isn’t an arm’s length transaction and they’re probably intending to hand it back to him
