Alex Jones sues Sandy Hook families and Onion over ‘Frankenstein bid’ for Infowars
Jones claimed ‘conspiratorial negotiation’ led to losing auction for Infowars
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.

And it’s going to go nowhere. This is just the latest in Alex’s decade+ campaign of harassment against these people.
There was nothing wrong let alone illegal about the auction or the circumstances of The Onion’s win. He’s just butthurt that his little scheme to have Elon and Roger Stone buy infowars and give it back to him didn’t work.

You have infinitely more confidence is the justice system than I do.
-
This is still a bankruptcy case and that's pretty apolitical.
-
I think that would depend on the judge that the next cases land on, if it's a maga judge then doing justice won't be a priority. Jones seems to be playing for time and appears to hope that Trump's next government can change the playing field for him.
Why justice will become less apolitical in the USA: Maga is fascist and fascism is a totalitarian form of government. In totalitarianism there is no room for an independent judiciary. The USA is only at the beginning of it's maga era, so it still has a mostly independent judiciary, but dismantling that independence is already a part of the plan. And that dismantling can go fast, in Poland it only took a few years to do so. After their 2015 election, the polish Law and Justice party (aka pis) rushed the process with a series of illegal coups to get it done asap, I think their reforms were mostly finished by 2018.
In other words, I wouldn't count out Alex Jones just yet.

I have great faith in a justice system. Whatever the US has now, though, I'm pretty skeptical that it'll do anything in favor of the people and not the rich.

Can’t they just sue him back because he is basically doing what he did in the first place and got fucked over to begin with?
-
Didn't a judge side with him and put a hold on the sale?
-
The judge didn't "side" with him. It was a matter of procedure and as I said, it will go nowhere. It's just yet another stalling tactic and continued harassment from Alex Jones.
-
This is correct, but the judge's statement about it seemed pretty biased.
-
-
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
-
Yeah... that is some "the leopards won't eat my face" shit
-
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"
-
And? Really I am trying to understand how this is not the case.

If so, he's hoping for post January 6. Stall and delays, just like all the stuff the orange Cheeto and cronies are doing. It's really time the pitchforks are being picked up.
