Summary

Alex Jones has sued Sandy Hook families and The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, alleging a conspiracy in their joint $1.75M bid to acquire Infowars during a bankruptcy auction.

Jones claims their bid unfairly appeared more valuable due to the families waiving portions of their payout, benefiting other defamation victims.

The bankruptcy trustee dismissed the allegations as baseless. Sandy Hook families vowed to hold Jones accountable, while the auction process faces judicial scrutiny over transparency.

A hearing is scheduled for November 25. Jones owes over $1B in defamation damages.

    Careful, Alex. By the time you’re done you might owe another billion to them, considering your thin knowledge of how anything works ever.

    Calling this a “Frankenstein bid” is the closest Alex Jones has ever gotten to reading a work of classic literature.

      If the judges had any propriety for the rule of law they’d just start holding his lawyers in contempt for every new lawsuit they try to bring forth. If he has no one to represent him, the house of cards comes down.

      But we don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system full of politically appointed judges who spend their entire careers trying to dismantle the country.
