Summary

A federal judge has delayed approving the sale of Alex Jones’ media company, Infowars, to The Onion, amid disputes over the auction process.

The Onion won with a $1.75 million bid supported by Sandy Hook families, who agreed to forego their share of sale proceeds for future revenue from a revamped Infowars, enabling other creditors to collect more.

However, a competing bidder backed by Jones, First United American Companies, contested the sale, claiming its $3.5 million bid was unfairly rejected.

The judge plans an evidentiary hearing to ensure transparency.

    I have lost all faith in the American legal system. I expect Infowars to be broadcasting Jones’s filth well into the 2040s

      I will not be surprised if this ends with Jones winning his counter suit against the families and bankrupting them. I have lost all faith in the USA.

      Don’t worry; Alex Jones isn’t orange enough for the legal system to ignore.
