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.
Ok, the argument here is that The Onion turning InfoWars into a parody site “would not provide value”…
Ok, first of all, when ever - in the history of the universe- did Alex Jones or anyone he’d consider an ally give even a quantum fuck about what “value” the families of the victims receive after half a decade of legal fights to deny this?
Second, who the fuck is Melon Tusk to complain and insert himself into these (almost completed) proceedings? So rich asshole that Jones has convinced to try to save him? Why the fuck should they give him any kind of legal standing?
Lastly, by turning InfoWars, el al into whatever The Onion plans can’t be categorically dismissed as having “no” or “lesser” value without the ability to peer through time.
So, unless the judge has dogturds for brains and/or is a Trumpfuck, this sale will proceed, uninpeded by Felon Husk.
