The losing bidder in last week’s bankruptcy auction for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ assets, including his infamous Infowars website, filed an emergency motion on Monday morning to disqualify The Onion’s winning bid.
Losing bidder sounds like a sore loser.
First United submitted a cash bid of $3.5 million dollars. By contrast, Cicack said, The Onion’s bid contained only $1.75 million in cash, alongside a waiver from the Connecticut families setting aside any of their earnings from the auctioned assets.
But Cicack challenged the use of this waiver, arguing it was “conditional and contingent” and “the equivalent of ‘monopoly’ money” and “simply has no value.”
All money is monopoly money. It’s all fake paper that has no intrinsic value, because the true value is what everyone agrees on. Their waiver ensure more monopoly money to the plaintiffs than your monopoly money bid.
You lost. Shut up. Go home.
They could’ve come forward with more money and win, but here we are reading this.
Please stay informed. The losing bidder offered more money, but the victims of Alex Jones chose a lower bid instead of just giving the microphone straight back to Jones’ family.
Strictly speaking, the losing bidder offered more cash, but the victims families offered concessions in the amount of damages they’d seek as part of The Onions offer, which would bring the total value of The Onions offer to higher, and that’s why they won.
