Alex Jones was allowed by the court to put up his personal assets, including InfoWars, to be sold to help pay off his debt to the Sandy Hook families. The idea behind this wasn't so other right-wingers could buy the site and then let Alex Jones continue being a scumbag liar and provocateur of conspiracies and lunacy, repeating the garbage that got him sued in the first place.
The Onion won the bid. Bravo!
Funds generated from the sale are meant to satisfy Jones’ estate creditors, largely families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting to whom he must pay damages in defamation verdicts."
Those interested in acquiring Jones’ media company had submitted their final offers to federal court-appointed trustee Christopher Murray, who was tasked with picking a best bid, but not necessarily the highest.
This auction wasn't predicated on the highest bidder.
This sale put Bannon's knickers in a bunch.
