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.

    I am not sure if it is a full hold, but they are investigating this and The Onion bid.

    But yeah. The goal is obviously to stall and escalate. Likely with the hope of getting a ruling (SC or not) that taking companies away from white people is unconstitutional.

      Not white people, people of all colours when they are useful to the Rs

      If a white leftist had Roger Stone take their company away that would be completely legal

          I am confused

          You were the one saying that by trying to turn a class war into a race war.

            And your response was the same “oh, they don’t care about skin color if you are useful to them”
