The Onion's purchase of Alex Jones' Infowars rejected by a US judge
ai generated text
Alex Jones's Infowars was put up for auction due to a $1.5 billion court order, stemming from his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings were a hoax. The Onion, a satirical news outlet, was initially announced as the winning bidder, but a federal judge, Christopher Lopez, rejected the sale, citing a "good-faith error" by the bankruptcy trustee who ran the auction. The decision was a victory for Jones, allowing him to retain ownership of Infowars. Jones had claimed that the auction was marred by "collusion," but Lopez's ruling did not support this assertion.
This decision doesn't change the fact that, soon, Alex Jones will begin to pay his debt to these families and he will continue doing so for as long as it takes.
These families, who have already persevered through countless delays and roadblocks, remain resilient and determined as ever to hold Alex Jones and his corrupt businesses accountable for the harm he has caused.
We are deeply disappointed in today's decision, but The Onion will continue to seek a resolution that helps the Sandy Hook families receive a positive outcome for the horror they endured.
We can celebrate the judge doing the right thing with the most ridiculous, fraudulent auction known in human history.
I can't imagine the judge would certify this fraud.
